Monster Cupcakes

Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• ½ tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 4 tbsp cocoa powder
• ½ cup + 2 tbsp powdered sugar
• 80 ml oil
• ¼ cup hot coffee concoction (1 tsp instant coffee in ¼ cup hot water)
• 80 ml whisked yogurt
• 1 tsp vanilla

For the Decoration

• ½ cup whipped cream – add color (we have used blue and yellow)
• Cadbury gems
• 1 tbsp melted chocolate.

Step 1

Preheat the oven at 180 degree Celsius. Line a six cup muffin pan with liners and set aside.

Step 2

In a large bowl, sift the flour, baking soda, baking powder and cocoa powder. Mix well so that they are uniform.

Step 3

In another bowl, add yogurt and powdered sugar and beat till the sugar dissolves. Add oil and whisk well.

Step 4

Now add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and whisk. Add the coffee concoction and vanilla. Whisk well to form the batter. If the batter looks thick, add a spoonful of milk or water.

Step 5

Pour the batter equally into the prepared muffin pan and bake it in the preheated oven at 180 C for 15-18 minutes. When done take it out and let it cool down to room temperature.

Step 6

Fit a piping bag with a star nozzle and fill it with whipped cream. Use the melted chocolate to design the eyes on the gems.

Step 7

Now pipe the whipped cream on the cooled cupcakes. Decorate with gems. Enjoy!
