Chocolate Vanilla Cupcakes for Valentine’s Day

Hi guys!

Happy Valentine’s Day! Any plans? Are you going to celebrate it with your love, friends or just by yourself? It doesn’t really matter, it’s always a good day to have a Cupcake 😉

I wanted to keep it simple this year. Most of us have to work and don’t have time – or feel like making time – to make something complicated. My solution? Chocolate Vanilla Cupcakes!

So easy to make and super cute. Perfect for Valentine’s Day. I’ve sprinkled some coconut on top to make this sweetheart extra fluffy and cute. What do you think?

What we need:

Cupcakes

• 250 g soft, unsalted butter
• 250 g caster sugar
• 4 eggs
• 250 g self-raising flour
• cupcake wrappers
• cupcake mold
• ice cream scoop

Frosting

• 500 g soft, unsalted butter
• 1000 g icing sugar
• 3 – 4 tbsp milk
• coconut shavings
• piping bag + 1M piping tip
• red fondant hearts

How to:

Cupcakes

1. Preheat the oven at 180°C
2. Mix together butter and sugar
3. Add the eggs
4. Add the flour and mix until combined
5. Scoop the batter into the wrappers. 1 scoop should be enough
6. Bake for about 25 minutes

Frosting

1. Mix the butter together with half of the icing sugar
2. Add the other half and the milk
3. Mix until smooth
4. Fill the piping bag
5. Pipe beautiful swirls on top of the cupcakes
6. Sprinkle some coconut on top
7. Finish with some fondant hearts

Cute enough for Valentine’s Day?

Have a delicious day ❤
