Method

  1. Step 1:

    Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C (160 degrees fan) and line a muffin tray with large cupcake or muffin cases.

  2. Step 2:

    Place the butter and golden caster sugar into a large bowl and cream together at a high speed until light and fluffy.

  3. Step 3:

    Add the eggs, vanilla extract and a tablespoon of the flour into the bowl and whisk again.

  4. Step 4:

    Add the remaining flour, cocoa powder, and milk to the bowl and gently whisk until fully combined.

  5. Step 5:

    Evenly distribute the cupcake mix into each cupcake or muffin case, until two-thirds full, and bake in the preheated oven for around 20 minutes or until an inserted skewer comes out clean.

  6. Step 6:

    Once baked remove from the oven and allow to cool fully on a wire rack.

  7. Step 7:

    Begin making the frosting by whisking together the butter, cocoa powder, and icing sugar for 5 minutes at high speed until the colour lightens and the texture becomes silky.

  8. Step 8:

    Once the cupcakes have cooled, gently cut out a small hole in the middle of each (an apple corer can help with this).

  9. Step 9:

    Slice the bottom half off of the removed piece of cupcake and discard (you’ll need to use the top half to plug in the Marmite)

  10. Step 10:

    Fill each cupcake with a teaspoon of Dynamite Marmite and replace the plug.

  11. Step 11:

    Frost each cupcake with the buttercream (either by piping or using an offset spatula) and liberally drizzle over more Dynamite Marmite.

  12. Step 12:

    Add a small chilli to each of the cupcakes to finish.
