Kit Kat cupcake recipe

So, this recipe makes 12 yummy cupcakes!

Ingredients-

FOR THE SPONGE:

-100g self-raising flour

-20g cocoa powder

-145g caster sugar

-40g butter

-120ml milk

-1 large egg

-1/2 teaspoon of vanilla essense

-1tsp instant cofee

-3 KitKat chocolate bars

FOR THE FROSTING:

-225g butter

-350g icing sugar

-50g cocoa powder

-1tbsp milk

-6 KitKat chocolate bars





                                                                                 

1)For the sponge: preheat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and line a 12-hole tin with cupcake paper cases. Tip the flour, cocoa powder, sugar and butter into a food processor and blitz on a slow speed for one minute, until you achieve a sandy consistency.

2)Gradually pour in half of the milk and beat until just incorporated. Don’t worry if it looks a little messy at this stage – it will come together! In a separate bowl, whisk the remaining milk together with the egg, vanilla extract and coffee. Pour into the batter and beat for a couple of minutes until smooth, scraping down the side of the bowl to catch any unmixed ingredients as you go. Lastly, gently fold through the crushed Kit Kat until thoroughly combined.

3)Divide the mixture between the 12 paper cases, filling each one up two-thirds full. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until the sponge bounces back when prodded with a finger. Leave to cool on a wire rack while you make the frosting.

4)For the frosting: tip the butter, icing sugar and cocoa powder into a food processor and beat until well combined. Add the milk and then beat again for a couple of minutes until light and fluffy.

5)When the sponges have cooled completely, carefully spoon a third of the frosting into a piping bag and use it to decorate the first four cupcakes. Repeat until you have finished them all. Alternatively, just use a palette knife to spread about 2 tbsp of frosting onto each cupcake.

6)Decorate with shards of Kit Kat, and maybe a sprinkle of crushed Kit Kat too.

Mine really were delicious but instead of taking a picture of mine (they did look disastrous) i will leave you with this photo i found off of the internet.
