It's been a while since I did a baking post, truth be told I'm on a bit of a health kick at the moment so it's meant my baking hobby has taken a bit of a back seat however...over the last 2 weeks I've lost five pounds so I wanted to reward myself with some cake so I rustled up these Biscoff Cupcakes and my goodness they taste so good! The sponge and the buttercream contains Biscoff spread and of course I had to decorate with those Biscoff biscuits which are so addictive!
What You Will Need For The Cupcakes
125g butter
2 large free-range eggs
125g self raising flour
65g caster sugar
60 light brown sugar
1/4 tsp bicarbonate of soda
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
3-4 tablespoons of Biscoff spread
2-3 tablespoons milk (optional)
What You Will Need For The Icing
150g butter
150g Biscoff Spread
300g icing sugar
2-3 tablespoons milk (optional)
Biscoff biscuits 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 both types of sugar and cream together, them pop in the rest of your cupcake ingredients and mix until smooth with a hand whizzer.
3. 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 and the Biscoff spread together until it becomes smooth and silky, then start adding the icing sugar 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 just popped on a whole Biscoff biscuit in the centre then crumbed up some more Biscoff biscuits to use as sprinkles! You could also melt some of the spread in the microwave and then drizzle it over the buttercream, I had planned on doing this but in the end I liked how mine looked as they where so I skipped this step, you could also core out the centre of the cupcakes and spoon in more Biscoff spread, it depends on how much of a Biscoff addict you are really ha ha!
And there you have it, super yummy Biscoff cupcakes that are so easy to make! I'll warn you now these are very addictive, I had to box some up for my family otherwise my health kick would of been totally out of the window he he!
