Thermomix Cheap & Easy Chocolate Cupcakes Recipe

January 17, 2018

Mudcakes used to be my jam. As a teenager I did all the baking for my family, and I’d beg mum for a mudcake packet mix, and would make those babies… and happily eat them too. They involved a lot of work, you had to melt the chocolate add the mix and get to work. BUT THEY WERE WORTH IT. There’s something about mudcake that I love, the squishiness and the denseness. Are you with me?

So these cakes have all the joy of a mudcake, without the hard work. They don’t even involve melting chocolate. BUT they taste like you did. They’re a great school holiday recipe to whip up, and freeze for later.

Thermomix Cheap & Easy Chocolate Cupcakes Recipe

Ingredients

200g sugar

200g water

130g unsalted butter

2 tablespoons cocoa

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon bi-carb soda

200g self-raising flour

2 eggs

Method

Preheat your oven to 170ºC.
Place the sugar, water, cocoa, butter, vanilla and bi-carb soda in the Thermomix bowl. Cook for 10 minutes at 100ºC on Speed 2.
Once finished, remove the lid and allow the mix to cool for 10 minutes.
Add the flour and eggs and mix for 10 seconds on Speed 4.
Pour the batter into 24 silicon cupcake cakes {fill to about two-thirds full}. Place into the oven and cook for 15 minutes, or until cooked {they’ll spring back slightly when you touch them in the centre}.
You can ice them, or dust with icing sugar. We eat them plain, because they’re just like little mudcakes and really delicious as they are. They also freeze really well.
