Ingredients:
For the Sponge:
- Easter Themed Cup Cake Liners
- 125 g / 4.40 oz Caster Sugar
- 125 g / 4.40 oz Butter
- 2 Medium Eggs
- 125 g / 4.40 oz Self-Raising Flour
- 1 tsp Madagascan Vanilla Extract
- 100 g / 3.52 oz White Chocolate Chips
For the Butter Cream:
- 250 g / 8.81 oz Unsalted Butter
- 300 g / 10. 58 oz Icing Sugar
- 100 g / 3.52 oz White Chocolate Couverture 26%
- 0.5 tsp Madagascan Vanilla Extract
For the Filling:
- 100 g / 3.52 oz Raspberry Jam
For the Decoration:
- Party Sprinkles
- Chocolate Easter Decorations
- Pastel Pearls
Method:
Pre-heat the oven to 180°C/160°C /Gas Mark 4. Line 2 muffin tins with 16 baking cases.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sugar and butter and cream until light and fluffy. Add the eggs and vanilla and whisk until smooth. If the mixture starts to curdle, add a teaspoon of flour. After sifting in the self-raising flour, beat again until well blended. Divide the mixture between the cupcake liners and add 5 chocolate chips to the top of each cupcake and lightly press in. Bake for about 20 minutes until risen and golden brown. Allow the cupcakes to cool in the baking tray for 10 minutes and then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
For the Butter Cream
Melt the couverture chocolate slowly in a bain-marie over hot water. Allow to cool. Place the butter into a large bowl and beat until smooth and glossy. Add the icing sugar in a couple of intervals and mix well. Finally, stir the melted white couverture chocolate and whisk the buttercream until light and fluffy. Split the buttercream into two piping bags one fitted with an open star nozzle and one with a plain nozzle.
For the Decoration
Once the cupcakes are cooled, take a sharp knife and cut a circle out of the top of each cake at an angle about 2 cm from the edge. Remove the circle of sponge and fill each cupcake with a dollop of raspberry jam, then place the piece of sponge back on top. Repeat to fill each cupcake.
Using the piping bag with the circle plain nozzle in, pipe a circle of buttercream around the edge of the cupcake, and then dip all around in the Easter Sprinkles.
Using the star nozzle, pipe a swirl of buttercream over the center of the cupcake. Finally, decorate with Easter Pastel Pearls or Chocolate Easter toppers. That's the ideal Easter treat right there!
