Cocoa Rouge Cupcakes

40g Makana's Cocoa Rouge Unsweetened Cocoa Powder

130g all-purpose flour

¾ tsp baking powder

¾ tsp baking soda

¼ tsp salt

110g white sugar

100g brown sugar

1 egg

125 ml milk

¼ cup grapeseed oil

1 tsp vanilla

125 ml boiling water

Preheat oven to 180°C conventional or 160ºC fan-forced. Line a 12-hole muffin tray with paper cases.
Sift the dry ingredients into a large bowl, then add the sugars and stir in. Add the egg, milk, oil and vanilla then beat with a mixer until combined. Scrape the sides of the bowl then add the boiling water and mix until just combined (the batter will be runny).
Pour the batter into a measuring cup or jug and pour evenly into each paper case until ¾ filled (don’t over fill or the mixture will overflow).
Place in the oven and bake for 20-22 minutes or until a tester inserted in the centre comes out clean. Allow to cool before decorating
Chocolate Icing

225g icing sugar

2 tbsps Makana's Cocoa Rouge Unsweetened Cocoa Powder

50g butter, softened

2-3 tbsps hot water

Place icing and cocoa powder in a medium bowl and stir to combine. Add softened butter and pour some of the hot water over the top.

Mix together with a knife or spatula, adding more water as required to achieve a smooth, spreadable consistency. Pipe on cupcakes once cool.
