FOR THE CUPCAKES

Y

ou will need two cupcake mixes

to create this effect. You can use

any colours and flavours you like,

it will work the same way. I just

really like this chocolate orange combination

as the colours work well for Halloween and

the flavour reminds me of Autumn! Orange

and purple or orange and green would both

work really well too.

YOU WILL NEED

For the orange cupcakes

• 200g (7oz) self-raising flour


• 200g (7oz) caster sugar


• 200g (7oz) baking spread/unsalted
  butter


• 50g (1¾oz) plain flour


• 4 free-range eggs


• 1½ tsp orange flavouring


• grated orange zest (optional)

With a hidden duo-bake surprise, a colourful edge to the

buttercream and a delightful topper, these cupcakes by Britt Box

from She Who Bakes (shewhobakes.co.uk) are an absolute treat!

How to...

MAKE HALLOWEEN

CUPCAKES

• orange colouring (Sugarflair Tangerine)
  For the chocolate cupcakes


• 200g (7oz) self-raising flour


• 200g (7oz) caster sugar


• 200g (7oz) baking spread/unsalted
  butter


• 50g (1¾oz) cocoa powder


• 4 free-range eggs


• 100g (3½oz) melted dark chocolate

1 Star t by making your cupcake mixes. If

you’ve only got one mixer I find the best way

to do this is to weigh out both mixes that you

need, make one mix, transfer this to another

bowl and quickly wash up ready to make the

next one. I don’t advise keeping cake mix out

for too long as it can be detrimental to your

bakes, but 5-10 minutes while you’re making

the second mix is absolutely fine.

2 Once this is done, line a cupcake tin with

cases. This duo recipe makes 24 cupcakes

so please adjust if you want more/ less.

Spoon alternating mix into the cases using

teaspoons until the case is about three-

quarters full. I found 2 tsp of each flavour

worked well. Bake these at 140°C/Gas Mark

1 for 40-45 minutes or until a cocktail stick

comes out clean. Leave to cool.
