Soo I haven't been on here in a while so going to do a post with a few seperate pictures of things I've baked :)!
Carrot cupcakes - I made these for work and everyone loved them! Just a traditional recipe with oil instead of butter, grated carrot, eggs, dark muscovado, cinnamon, nutmeg and walnuts. Very simple just all mixed together with a cream cheese topping and a decorative walnut!!
Next up is my extra chocolately chocolate chip cookies! They are soo rich and yummy but I had lots of compliments about them! Made by creaming together butter and light brown sugar, adding melted dark chocolate. Add in one egg, beat in flour and cocoa powder and some vanilla extract.I then added big chunks of white chocolate (Milkybar!!) and milk choc chips...yummy!!
Finally we have my very experimental Oreo cupcakes....I took this from an American recipe I found online as I couldn't find any with UK measurements. I then used an online coverter to convert the 'cups' into grams. I had to tweak little bits too as some of the ingredients can't be found in the UK!
I started by lining a cupcake tray with the cases and put an oreo half with cream side up into the bottom of the case. I then began the mix by melting plain chocolate and cocoa powder by pouring over a cup of strong black coffee. I left this to cool completely before adding in caster sugar, 2 eggs, some vegetable oil, vanilla extract, white vinegar and flour.
The frosting was made using whipped cream, icing sugar and crushed oreo crumbs. Finished with half an oreo as decoration! I didn't have one of these as I don't like coffee but everyone else absolutely loved them!!
Hope you enjoy guys :)
