PEPPA PIG CHOCOLATE & VANILLA CUPCAKES

December 5, 2012 By Manu 2 Comments

Peppa Pig Chocolate & Vanilla Cupcakes

These are the cupcakes I made for my daughter’s birthday party.  My kids have a very sweet tooth (they took this after their daddy! ;-P), so cupcakes are a must for their birthday parties.  I love making them as I have great fun, especially deciding on the decorations and colours.  I was not very adventurous with the flavours this time, as there were quite a few little ones at the party and I wanted to make sure they ate them… and you can’t go wrong with chocolate and vanilla!  To make the chocolate cupcakes I used a new recipe and I liked it just as much as the one I usually make, so I am going to share it with you.  These cupcakes include “real” chocolate and not only cocoa powder, so they are quite rich in taste.  I decorated them with some simple vanilla icing and I made a few blue ones and a few green ones to symbolise the “sky/pond” and the “grass”.  To complete them, I topped them with some fondant decorations: fluffy white clouds, ducks, suns, George Pig’s dinosaur and Peppa Pig’s face.  Enjoy!

Peppa Pig Chocolate and Vanilla Cupcakes

How to make delicious chocolate and vanilla cupcakes for a Peppa Pig party!

Course Dessert
Cuisine International
Prep Time 30 minutes
Cook Time 30 minutes
Total Time 1 hour
Author Recipe adapted from Taste.com.au

Ingredients

Chocolate Cupcakes

  • 100 gms – 3.5 oz. dark chocolate
  • 250 ml – 1 cup water
  • 125 gms – ½ cup butter softened
  • 255 gms – 1 ¼ cups brown sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 225 gms – 1 ½ cups self-raising flour
  • 75 gms – ½ cup plain flour
  • 30 gms – ¼ cup cocoa powder

“Sky/Pond” and “Grass” Vanilla Icing:

  • 125 gms butter
  • 225 gms icing sugar
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • Blue food coloring
  • Green food coloring
  • Fondant decorations

Instructions

Chocolate Cupcakes

  1. Put the water and chocolate in a small pot and heat it on low heat. Cook, stirring, for 5 minutes or until the chocolate melts. Keep aside to cool down.
  2. Beat the butter and sugar with an electric mixer until pale. Add the eggs, one at a time and keep beating. Add the flours and cocoa powder and stir until just combined. Now add the melted chocolate and stir well.
  3. Spoon among the lined muffin pans.
  4. Bake in a preheated oven at 160°C for 25 to 30 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean. Remove from the oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool down.

“Sky/Pond” and “Grass” Vanilla Icing:

  1. Beat the softened butter for a few minutes and then incorporate the icing sugar, vanilla extract and the blue food colour. Mix well. Do the same for the green icing.
  2. Pipe the icing on the cupcakes and decorate them with the fondant decorations (I usually make these with my own stencils the day before and I let them dry before using them on the cupcakes).
