I really fancied baking a nice batch of cupcakes to take into work tomorrow. We've seen all kinds of creations from home made giant Reese's peanut butter cups to bacon frosted cupcakes in our office so I thought i'd make my first contribution with some chocolate on chocolate cupcakes! If you haven't got the time or really can't be bothered Betty Crocker's Devils food cake mix (yes in a box) is a winner! I've used this mix several times before, it's quick and easy, cheap and you save on the measuring and washing up!
I really do love baking all sorts especially from scratch, but tonight was the turn of the packet mix ... I picked up a £1 bag from Tesco ..
...the instructions are literally as easy as 1..2...3
1. open the mix
2. toss the mix into a bowl
3. add two eggs and 8x tablespoons of water.. then bake!
The mix makes around 12 cupcakes or one 12 x 12 sponge, I bought two bags (so obviously had to double up on eggs and water) and there was a 3 for 2 offer - so I couldn't resist this amazing Betty Crocker icing to finish!
Try not to overfill the cases.. there must be baking powder in the mix because my cupcakes were HUGE!
To make them look even more yummy I picked up a set of decorations for around £2.99 from The Co-Op. It comes with 4 varieties of chocolate sprinkles.. so spread your icing in a messy but stylistic way.. sprinkle some sprinkles and wahey you're done! You'll have everyone thinking you're the next star baker in no time.. They won't be a Mary Berry approved creation but if you want to cut corners and save time then this is easy option is the way forward... shhhh!
Packed up and all ready to go tomorrow
Have a great day and happy baking!
Love Amy x
