What a good idea! I had just made made some cupcakes, so i thought i may as well share the love!
No photos i'm afraid (you'll just have to use your imagination!)
The recipe:
Chocolate Orange Marmalade Cupcakes. - Makes about 6 or 7 because i'm greedy and if i made more i'd eat them all and they are quite rich.
60g Butter60g Sugar1 large Egg60g Plain FlourHealthy sprinkling of baking powderLarge tablespoon of good quality chocolate powderLarge tablespoon of good quality marmalade - or if you are as lucky as me - Grannie Annie homemade marmalade!
Oven at about 180
1. Cream butter, add sugar.2. Add egg - sieve a tablespoon of flour if its curdling.3. Sieve in dry (flour, baking powder, chocolate) ingredients and mix. If a bit dry add a splash of milk.4. Add marmalade & pop into cupcake tin.
They are a moist cake because of the marmalade, so if you use press technique, they won't bounce back as quickly as non fruit cake would
About 15-20 minutes - try not to burn your tongue :)
