Hot chocolate cupcakes

Preparation time: 25 minutes

Cooking time: 20 minutes

Makes: 12

Chocolate cupcake with whipped buttercream topped with marshmallows, cocoa powder and steam!


Ingredients:
4oz Unsalted butter
4oz Self raising flour
4oz Caster sugar
2oz Cocoa powder
2 Eggs

Buttercream:
200g Unsalted butter (soft)
450g Sifted icing sugar

Decoration:
Sprinkle of cocoa powder
Around 36 mini marshmallows (3 on each)
50g Dark chocolate

Method:

1. Preheat your oven to 180°C and line a cupcake tray with cases. In a bowl mix together the butter and sugar using an electric whisk. Whisk until light and fluffy, from there add in the eggs, cocoa powder and flour and carry on whisking until fully combined.

2. Spoon the mixture evenly into each case and place in the oven for about 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. When your cupcakes are done set aside to cool.

3. While your cupcakes are cooling its time to make the chocolate steams. Line a dinner tray with grease proof paper. Melt 50g of dark chocolate in the microwave or over a pan. When the chocolate has melted, move into a small piping bag and pipe large S letters like steam. Make at least 12 to put onto each cupcake. Place in the fridge until you have decorated the cakes.

4. Cream the butter into a large bowl. To make the buttercream look whiter and more like whipped cream, keep whisking the butter until light in colour. Then gradually add in the icing sugar. Place the buttercream into a large piping bag fitted with a nozzle of your choice! Pipe a swirl on each cupcake, top with 3 marshmallows and carefully place the chocolate steam on top. Repeat for each cupcake until complete. When decorated, pour a little bit of cocoa powder into a sieve, gently sprinkle cocoa powder over the cupcakes, try not to hit the sieve too hard.

Chocolate orange mini roll trifle

Preparation time: 30 minutes

Cooling time: 25 minutes

Makes: 6 small sized glasses

Chocolate orange mini rolls with orange jelly topped with chocolate angel delight and whipped cream, not forgetting chocolate sauce and zest.
Ingredients
4 Chocolate orange mini rolls
Hartley's orange jelly (135g)
Chocolate angel delight (59g)
300ml Milk
600ml Whipping cream
Drizzle of chocolate sauce
Zest off an orange
6 Ice cubes

Method:

1. Unwrap the mini rolls and cut them into slices, place them on the side of the glasses going round in a circle.

2. To make the jelly, boil the kettle and cut the squares with scissors into a jug, then pour a bit of hot water into the jug, stiring the jelly until the cubes have dissolved. To make the jelly set quicker add 6 ice cubes into the jug and mix until ice cubes have melted. Pour in each glass until the jelly fills over the top of the mini rolls. Place in the fridge for 10 minutes

3. To make the angel delight pour the chocolate powder into a bowl and add the milk, whisk until blended together and makes a smooth and creamy consistency. Get the glasses out of the fridge and check to see if the jelly is set, if so place some angel delight in, leaving room for the whipped cream in top. Place in the fridge for 5 minutes until the angle delight has set.

4. Whilst they are in the fridge to set, make the whipped cream and zest the orange. Pour the whipping cream into a large bowl and whisk until fluffy cream has appeared. Place this into a piping bag with a star nozzle and place this in the fridge.

5. Carefully zest the orange skin into long thin strips. Remove the glasses and cream out of the fridge. Pipe the whipped cream on top of the angel delights in the glass until it reaches the top. Drizzle a small amount of chocolate sauce and place the zest on top!
