About the bake
Calling all Marmite lovers, we've got an explosive treat for you. These cupcakes are filled with an oozing dynamite chilli centre perfectly complemented by a rich & creamy chocolate buttercream, topped with an actual chilli for added heat. So whether you love it or hate it, you're going to want to bake it.
Method
Step 1:
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C (160 degrees fan) and line a muffin tray with large cupcake or muffin cases.
Step 2:
Place the butter and golden caster sugar into a large bowl and cream together at a high speed until light and fluffy.
Step 3:
Add the eggs, vanilla extract and a tablespoon of the flour into the bowl and whisk again.
Step 4:
Add the remaining flour, cocoa powder, and milk to the bowl and gently whisk until fully combined.
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.
Step 6:
Once baked remove from the oven and allow to cool fully on a wire rack.
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.
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).
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)
Step 10:
Fill each cupcake with a teaspoon of Dynamite Marmite and replace the plug.
Step 11:
Frost each cupcake with the buttercream (either by piping or using an offset spatula) and liberally drizzle over more Dynamite Marmite.
Step 12:
Add a small chilli to each of the cupcakes to finish.
