Instructions
For the Cupcakes
- Pre-heat your oven to 180°c (160°c for fan assisted ovens or Gas Mark 4) and line a muffin tin with 8 cupcake cases
- Cream together the butter and sugar, until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg mix until combined and melt the Caramac (over a bain-marie or in short bursts in the microwave) and add to the mixture.
- Sift in the flour and mix until you have a smooth batter.
- Using an ice cream scoop, fill your cupcake cases to 2/3 full ensuring the batter is evenly distributed between.
- Bake in oven for around 20 minutes until they've risen, are golden on top and a skewer comes out clean.
- Once cool enough to touch, transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
For the Icing
- In a medium bowl, mix the icing sugar and butter until light and fluffy.
- Melt the Caramac (over a bain-marie or in short bursts in the microwave) and add to the icing, mixing until combined.
- Add a little milk to the icing to soften it up a little - a couple of tablespoons should be plenty.
- Pipe on to your cupcakes when completely cool. Top with an extra square of Caramac to finish.
