Rum and chocolate is an almost perfect flavour combination, and where better to provide this blend of flavours than in a cupcake.
Ingredients:
125g butter, softened
100g soft light brown sugar
1 tbsp dark rum
2 large eggs
250ml crème fraîche
275g self-raising flour
175g milk chocolate, chopped
For the Topping:
175g milk chocolate, chopped
12 pecan nuts, to garnish
Method:
Cream together the butter, brown sugar and rum until pale and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating thoroughly to combine after each addition. No add the crème fraîche and beat in to mix. Sift over the flour and stir to combine along with the chopped chocolate.
Line the wells of a 12-hole muffing tin with silicone or paper cases then transfer to an oven pre-heated to 180°C and bake for between 20 and 25 minutes, or until the cupcakes are well risen and springy to the touch. Remove from the oven when done, turn out onto a wire rack and set aside to cool completely.
For the topping, melt the chocolate in a heat-proof bowl set over a pan of gently-simmering water. Cool slightly then spread onto the cupcakes. Sit a pecan nut in the centre of the topping as a decoration.
