Creepy but lovely chocolate cupcakes for the trick or treaters!
What you need
- 1-1/3 cups SR flour
- 1/2 cup CADBURY BOURNVILLE Cocoa
- 125 g butter, softened
- 3/4 cup caster sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- 2/3 cup milk
- 250 g PHILADELPHIA Block Cream Cheese, chopped
- 225 g CADBURY White Chocolate Melts
- pink food colouring
- red writing icing, for decorating
How to make it
SIFT the flour and cocoa into a large bowl, add the butter, sugar, vanilla, eggs and milk and mix to combine. Spoon the mixture into 12 x 1/3 cup capacity paper lined muffin pans.
BAKE in a moderate oven 180°C for 20 minutes or until cooked when tested. Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes before turning out of pan to cool completely. Store in an airtight container until required.
COMBINE the PHILLY and chocolate in a bowl and stir over gently simmering water until smooth. Allow the mixture to cool until firm enough to pipe. Spoon into a piping bag with a plain nozzle then pipe onto each cake to resemble 2 halves of a brain. Use writing icing to make blood vessels etc. Serve immediately or store, chilled, in an airtight container until required.
