Toblerone Cupcake Recipe!

Hey beaut's!

I've been baking again.... This time I wanted to bake come cupcakes for my Dad for Fathers Day, and one of my Dad's favourite chocolates in a Toblerone so of course I just had to incorporate some Toblerone within the cupcakes. These beauties have a plain cupcake base with a hint of almond extract and chunks of chopped up Toblerone within the cupcake batter and are finished off with chocolate buttercream and more Toblerone to decorate, they are so delicious even if I do say so myself!

What You Will Need For The Cupcakes

125g butter

2 large free-range eggs 

125g self raising flour

125g caster sugar

100g crushed/chopped Toblerone

1/4 tsp bicarbonate of soda

1/2 tsp almond extract

2-3 tablespoons milk (optional)

What You Will Need For The Icing

150g butter

300g icing sugar

30g cocoa powder (I use Bournville)

2-3 tablespoons milk (optional)

Toblerone to decorate

How To - Cupcakes

1. Firstly pre-heat your oven to gas mark 4 /180 and line a muffin tin with your cupcake cases.

2. In a large mixing bowl, whack in your butter and sugar and cream together, them pop in the rest of your cupcake ingredients apart from the crushed Toblerone and mix until smooth with a hand whizzer.

3. Once the cupcake batter is smooth mix through the crushed/chopped Toblerone with a wooden spoon or spatula making sure you don't knock too much air out of your batter.

4. Pop a heaped tablespoon of the cupcake batter into each cupcake case and bake in the oven for around 18 minutes or until the top of the cupcakes are springy to the touch, then transfer onto a wire rack to cool.

How To - Icing

1. In a large bowl, beat the butter until it becomes smooth and whippy, then start adding the icing sugar and cocoa powder slowly to avoid the dreaded icing sugar cloud and again mix until combined. If your buttercream becomes thick just add in a tablespoon of milk at a time until you get the perfect consistency.

2. Pipe or spoon the icing on top of the cupcakes and decorate how you wish, I chopped up a Toblerone to create the individual triangles and popped them on top of the buttercream, I had a few Toblerone off-cuts too so I crushed them up and used them as sprinkles.

And there you have it, super yummy Toblerone cupcakes that are so easy to make! If your fond of a Toblerone then I really recommend you give these a try!
