Death By Chocolate Cupcakes
Ingredients:
Chocolate Cupcakes:
1 x Banting BLVD chocolate cake premix (available here)
4 x Large eggs
1C Milk
½ Cup hot coffee
2T Olive oil
2t vanilla
2T Xylitol
Chocolate Mousse:
1 C Fresh Cream
3T Raw Cacao Powder
1T Xylitol
1t Vanilla
Dark Chocolate Ganache:
4 -5T Raw Cacao powder
1 ½ T Xylitol
2T Butter
1 C Fresh Cream
*Side note: If you don’t enjoy 75% or more dark chocolate, add less cacao powder and more Xylitol.
Method:
Heat your oven to 180 degrees and grease your oven pan
Whisk the eggs, milk, coffee, olive oil and vanilla together
Add the Banting BLVD Chocolate cake premix and xylitol
Spoon the mixture into the muffin or cake pan and pop it into the oven for 20 minutes, do a poke test, and if necessary put it back into the oven for another 10-20 minutes.
While those are busy baking, mix all the ganache ingredients on a medium heat in a saucepan, stirring regularly until it is thick, glossy and smells like heaven on earth.
Set the ganache aside to cool slightly and remove the cupcakes from the oven.
Ice the cupcakes (or soak them) with the ganache and allow it to cool a little further. We give you permission to lick the saucepan.
Using an electric beater, whip together all the mousse ingredients until stiff and fluffy.
Spoon generous amounts of mousse onto each cupcake and enjoy, there wont be a single one left for tomorrow!
