Triple Chocolate Cupcakes...


What you will need (makes about 20 cakes):
  • 6oz of butter
  • 6oz of caster sugar
  • 6oz of self raising flour
  • 3 eggs
  • Chocolate chips
  • A big bar of your choice of chocolate! (I picked Galaxy personally, it works really well!)
  • 1tsp of baking powder
  • 2-3 tsps of cocoa powder
What to do:

Pour in the butter and caster sugar into a large mixing bowl.
Mix them together well until there is no lumps, and it is a creamy/liquid substance. 
Then beat the eggs into a cup.
 Add in the flour and eggs, and mix well.
After that add in the Baking powder.
Then add the in the cocoa powder, mixing it all in well. It should turn the mix brown.
After that add in the chocolate chips (the amount varies depending on how many you want) that means that they are now double chocolate!
Then add the mixture to your cupcake cases, and put it in the oven for 18 minutes.



 Then wait till there is about 5 minutes to go until they need to come out the oven, and melt the chocolate for 1 minute and a half, then stir it into a melted chocolaty paste! If there are still a few lumps of chocolate in it put it in the microwave for around 20 seconds, and then stir it again.
After that, cover the top of the cupcakes in the melted chocolate, and if you want add some decorations, 100 and 1000s, chocolate sprinkles, white chocolate chips etc.

I hope that you enjoy these cupcakes! They taste so good that i just had to share it with you guys! Please comment telling me what you thought of them, if you made them, send me pictures if you make them, also I would love to have some ideas of things/recipes I can make! :)
Have a lovely day!

Quote Of The Day...

'Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world.'
-Harriet Tubman

Just a little bit sweeter...

We all have those days that we just want to snuggle up, watching movies with chocolate, pop-corn and a nice comforting hot drink. 

But not just any hot drink, a homemade caramel chocolate latte, made exactly to your preferences, for a sweet coffee sensation for the mouth!

This drink is perfect for people who are maybe just starting out with coffee so are not too keen, or used to the bitterness of it, because of the sweetness of the caramel and chocolate. But don't worry if your a huge bitter coffee lover (like myself) this drink is not just for 'beginners' the sweetness of the extra ingredients makes it to die for, and you never know it may just become one of your new favorite drinks! Its always good to try new things! :)


What you will need (makes a medium size coffee that will fit any average size mug):

  • Coffee Machine (Do not worry it doesn't have to be as fancy or posh as this one!)
  • Cocoa powder (You can buy special Chocolate powder for coffees) or some chocolate that you can grate into thin strips that will melt.
  • Liquid caramel (or caramel that you can melt at home)

  • 120ml of milk
  • A mug
  • A tea spoon


Once you have all your ingredients, go ahead and pour the 120 ml of milk into your mug, then, if you have a coffee machine that makes lattes, you can just set it to latte, but if you do not, set it to coffee, but stop it when the milk turns to a light oak kind of brown -don't worry if it doesn't look like much coffee compared to the amount of milk, lattes are meant to be like that! (the more coffee the more bitter the drink will be.)

Then get a tea spoon and start off by pouring enough caramel syrup to fill half of the spoon, and then drizzle it into the drink and mix it in well, if you want it to be stronger and sweeter keep adding half a tea spoon to the drink, and keep going until you get to an amount your satisfied with (remembering to test it each time you add some - this is because if you add too much, you can't go back and make it less sweet easily without starting again!) 

Once you've sorted out the caramel, its time to top it off with the cocoa powder, pour it all over and mix it in well, again more or less according to your preference.

*Note: You can have it without the chocolate and/or caramel but if you are going to add something to it i recommend adding both as they work really well and really compliment each other! Also if you do not have a coffee machine that makes lattes, you need to warm up the milk in the microwave before hand, otherwise it will be cold, and trust me, that does NOT taste good!*

I hope you enjoy this drink, please leave me comments telling me if you like it or do not, and why, I'd love to see pictures of your attempts of making it! Also if you want me to post more hot drink recipes, and/or cooking recipes! :)

Best Wishes, Cx
