A treat for the kids when they get home from school. Chocolate cupcakes, with Maple butter cream and autumn coloured sprinkles. This better make them happy:-)
This recipe I found on the internet and it is delicious. The mayonnaise in the batter, make a tender and moist crumb in the cupcakes.
I found the sprinkles at Home Sense/Winners, this is a great place to find unique food items for a good price.
Chocolate Cupcakes
1/4 cup chocolate chips
2/3 cup cocoa (preferably Epicure Selections Cocoa, it is the best)
1-3/4 cup boiling water
2-3/4 flour
1-1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1-1/3 cup mayonnaise
1 cup white sugar
1 cup brown sugar
2 lg. eggs beaten
2 tsp vanilla
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line or grease well 2 dozen muffin cups.
Combine chocolate chips, cocoa, and boiling water, stir until chocolate melts.
Combine flour, baking soda and baking powder in a small bowl.
With an electric mixer, beat mayo and both sugars until well combined, add eggs and then vanilla.
Add flour alternately with chocolate mixture in mayo and sugar mixture, beating well after each addition, starting and ending with flour (flour, choc, flour, choc, flour).
Fill muffin cups 3/4 full and bake for about 20 minutes.
Frost with your favourite white icing flavoured with Maple extract and tinted with Orange food colouring paste.
