Christmas cupcakes

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! 🙂

For Christmas this year I’ve decided to bake Christmas cupcakes and a chocolate chip banana cake as we had some left over bananas to use up.

For the Christmas cupcakes I used my “go to cupcake recipe” but added a chocolate sauce to the mixture to make gooey chocolate filled cupcakes. I decorated with red / pink icing and Christmas themed sprinkles / iced decorations.

Makes: 12 cupcakes

Ingredients

• 125g butter
• 125g Self raising flour
• 125 Caster sugar
• 2 Eggs
• 1/2 tsp Vanilla flavouring
• 12 cupcake cases
• Chocolate sauce (for the filling)

Method

• Preheat the over to 200 degrees C or Gas mark 6
• Round up your ingredients—beat the sugar and butter together until fluffy and light coloured.
• Beat in the eggs, one at a time adding the flour a little at a time until it’s all been added.
• Add the vanilla flavouring and mix it
• Half fill each case with  the mixture, then chcolate sauce then top with more mixture
• Put in the oven for 15—20 mins
• Use a skewer, if they’re done it will come out clean. Put on a cooling rack.
• When they’ve cooled, decorate and enjoy!
