No messing about here, let's get baking...

Makes 12 Cupcakes

 

Ingredients

Cupcakes

- 115g Stork

- 115g Caster Sugar

- 2 Eggs

- 1tsp Vanilla Extract

- 1tbsp Milk

- 115g Self-Raising Flour


Buttercream and Decorations

- 100g Unsalted Butter

- 200g Icing Sugar

- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract

- 4 tbsp Mallow and Marsh Marshmallow Whip

- 1 pouch of Mallow and Marsh Raspberry and Dark Chocolate Marshmallows

- Sprinkles



Method

- Pre-heat the oven to 180C / 160C Fan and line a 12 hole cupcake tray with cupcake cases.

- In a large mixing bowl add the stork and sugar and beat until light and fluffy. Slowly add the eggs, milk and vanilla extract until fully combined.


- Fold the flour into the mix, once all the ingredients have come together spoon the mix equally amongst the cupcake cases.


- Bake in a pre-heated oven for 18-20 min or until a toothpick comes out clean and the cupcakes are golden.


- Once baked, leave to cool on a cooling rack and start to prepare your buttercream. To make the buttercream you will need room temperature butter. Place the butter in a bowl and mix using a stand mixer or electric whisk for around 5 minutes. The butter should start to look whiter instead of yellow. Then gradually add the icing sugar, Marshmallow whip and vanilla extract until fully combined.


- Once the buns have cooled cut out a small section of the middle of the cupcake and spoon in a teaspoon of strawberry jam. Cover the hole with the section of the cupcake you just removed and press down to seal the jam into the cupcake.


- Add the buttercream to a piping bag fitted with a small star nozzle. Then gently squeeze down, making sure to grip the top of the piping bag to ensure no buttercream escapes.


- Starting from the edge of the cupcake drop little stars of buttercream by squeezing down and moving up. Do this around the outer edge and work your way in.


- Cut your marshmallows diagonally to create 2 bunny ears and cut a tiny triangle from a separate marshmallow for the nose. Place on your cupcake and add another layer of buttercream around the marshmallows, following the step above.


- Sprinkle with 100's and 1000's and enjoy :)
