Recipe Share – Butter Marble Cupcake with Cacao Nibs

My grandchildren’s favourite!

Ingredients

• 275gm butter
• 220gm organic brown sugar (grind to fine)
• 4 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
• 250gm organic plain flour
• ½ teaspoon aluminium free baking powder
• ½ teaspoon organic sodium bicarbonate
• 1 tablespoon organic cacao powder
• 1 tablespoon organic cacao nibs

Method

1. Sift together:
   • 250gm organic plain flour
   • ½ teaspoon aluminium free baking powder
   • ½ teaspoon organic sodium bicarbonate
2. Beat butter and brown sugar until light and creamy. Beat in whole egg one at a time until well combined.
3. Fold in the sifted dry ingredients and add in milk and vanilla essence.
4. Take a small bowl of the mixture and stir in the cacao powder till it is all well mixed.
5. On the cupcake baking tray, place the paper cupcake cup and then put in 2 tablespoons of the butter cake mixture and on top put in a tablespoon of the cacao creamy mixture. Use a thin metal cake tester or a thin bamboo skewer stick and stir the mixture lightly. You will get the marble effect with the baking.
