6th Day Of Cakemas - Mini Chocolate Christmas Puddings


Hello everyone and welcome back to cakemas day 6! I'm so excited for todays post because we are making mini chocolate Christmas puddings. I'm not a fan of Christmas puddings and it isn't for everyone and I think that a chocolate spounge with added chocolate chips is the perfect swap.


You Will Need:

For The Cupcakes:
  • 130g Unsalted Butter 
  • 130g Caster Sugar
  • 2 Medium Eggs
  • 20g Coco Powder
  • 15ml Warm Water
  • 140g Self Raising Flour
  • 75g Chocolate Chips (or more it's all down to your taste)
 For The Decoration:
  • 20ml Water
  • 40g Icing Sugar
  • Red And Green Food Colouring
Method:
  • Preheat your oven to 180 (fan) (gas mark 6/ 200C)

  • Cream together your butter and sugar.
  • Crack in your eggs and mix until just combined, try not to over mix.
  • Whisk your warm water into your coco powder until you have a smooth running chocolate heaven.
  • Add in a small amount your chocolate mixture and then a small amount of flour until both are used up but make sure you finish with flour.
  • Mix in your chocolate chips, these are ment to be the fruit so you could swap them out for fruit if you wanted to.
  • Bake your cupcakes for 15 - 20 minutes and leave them to cool for a further 10 - 15 minutes.
  • Make some runny icing by mixing together your water and icing sugar making sure there are no lumps (you might want to shift your icing sugar).
  • Once your cakes are completely cooled removethe cupcake cases and if you wanted to you could carve them a little rounder on top so they look more like Christmas puddings.
  • Drizzle your icing over your mini puddings.
  • ice on your holly leaves and berries (you could use left over white icing and colour it).


Your Done this was my favourite recipe so far and I hope you enjoyed this. Hopefully you are all enjoying Cakemas so far and see you soon.
