- 125 g dairy free spread or margarine
- 125 g soft light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 125 g plain flour
- 25 g cocoa powder
- 10 g (2 tsp) baking powder
- To decorate:
- 1 can Dr. Oetker Easy Swirl Cupcake Icing
- 1 bag mini mini eggs
Preheat the oven to 180°C (Gas mark 4/350°F). Line a 12 hole muffin tin with muffin cases.
Pop the margarine into a mixing bowl then add the caster sugar and eggs. Sift the flour, cocoa powder and baking powder on top and using an electric whisk on a low speed, gently blend the ingredients together. Increase the mixer speed and whisk for a few more seconds until well mixed.
Divide the cake mixture equally between the muffin cases and smooth over the tops. Bake for 20-25 minutes until risen and just firm to the touch. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
Make sure the cakes are completely cool before decorating. To decorate, push a mini circle cutter into the top of each cupcake, then using a knife, pop out the circle create a round hole into the top of each cupcake.
Fill each hole with a small swirl of the icing, then top with 3 or 4 of the eggs to finish.
