Quick and Easy Chocolate Cupcakes
This is a super recipe if you're looking for something easy to make with the kids that doesn't require a lot of precision and skill, or if you need a bunch of sweet treats at short notice, such as for a tea party or charity bake sale. By starting with a hot chocolate paste for the base, using hot cocoa and water, I find that the cakes retain some moistness once baked.
Delicious, light and moist chocolate cupcakes smothered in Nutella. Perfect for both kids and adults to enjoy!
First, a rich chocolatey paste is made from hot cocoa to form the base of the mixture.
Then for a super quick, easy next step, all of the remaining ingredients are thrown together in one big bowl to make the cake batter.
Everything is whisked well to combine and already looks delicious! Just try to get the mixture into the oven and don't start eating just yet! Ok.....you could like the spoon!
The cake mixture is divided evenly between cupcake cases. Not always as easy as it looks as you can see from my attempt!
The cupcakes are baked until they have risen and are spongy to touch, before being smothered in Nutella.
