Chocolate Cupcake


makes 24 cupcakes / 350 degree oven

Ingredients
2 cups flour
2 cups sugar
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1-1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1-1/2 cups milk
1/2 cup butter
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 eggs

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Measure out everything but the eggs directly into your mixer bowl.
Mix on low speed just until incorporated.
Beat on high speed for 2 minutes.
Add eggs, beat on high speed again for 2 minutes.

Measure out into cupcake pan lined with cupcake papers. A 2 ice cream scoop works great for this. Bake for about 15-20 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool slightly in the pan then transfer to a rack to cool completely before frosting.

Chocolate Buttercream
enough to lightly frost 24 cupcakes

1 stick butter
1/2 cup cocoa
4 cups confectioner�fs sugar
1/4 cup milk

Beat butter on high for about 30 seconds until soft.
Add cocoa and 1 cup of sugar and beat until incorporated
Add half of the milk and the remainder of sugar and beat until incorporated.
Continue to add milk until you get to the consistency you want.

Assemble
There are many ways to go here, in this case, I simply piped the frosting onto the cupcakes with a large star tip.
Chocolate Mousse


You could finish your meal with coffee but we prefer our mugs brimming with decadent chocolate mousse. You will too, once you've tried it!

Preparation Time 15 minutes
Cooking Time 5 minutes

Ingredients (serves 6)
300g good-quality dark chocolate, coarsely chopped
3 eggs, separated
125ml (1/2 cup) light olive oil
60ml (1/4 cup) Cointreau liqueur

Method

Place the chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a saucepan half-filled with simmering water (make sure the bowl doesn't touch the water). Stir until the chocolate melts and is smooth. Set aside to cool.

Use an electric beater to beat the egg whites in a clean dry bowl until firm peaks form. Add the egg yolks, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition until combined. Add the chocolate and beat until combined. Gradually add the oil and Cointreau, beating until well combined.

Spoon the chocolate mixture into serving cups. Cover and place in the fridge for 4 hours or until firm. Serve.

Notes & tips

You can make this recipe up to 1 day ahead. Cover with plastic wrap and store in the fridge overnight.
