Christmas Tree Cupcakes
Recipe by mum_im_hungry_
Here are some delicious, Vegan, indulgent Chocolate Cupcakes with a gorgeous Christmas Tree swirl just in time for the festivities this December. Give the simple step by step recipe a go?
Method:
Cakes
Mix all the dry ingredients together then add the wet ingredients leaving the water and coffee mixture until the end. It will seem very runny, but don’t worry – it works!
Next, fill the cupcake cases to ¾ filled and bake at 180c for 20-23 minutes. Check with a toothpick once cooked. Allow an hour to cool on a wire rack.
Frosting
Cream the butter, then slowly add the icing sugar bit by bit, keeping your mixer on a low setting.
Add your vanilla and cream and finally your colour.
