Ingredients
Cake
- 1 1/2 cups caster sugar (also called superfine or baker’s sugar—you’ve got options!)
- 1 3/4 cups cake flour (because we’re going for fluffy, not dense)
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1 1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 large eggs, separated
- 1/2 cup neutral oil (think canola or sunflower)
- 1 Tbsp vanilla essence
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 cup milk
Ganache topping
- 1 1/2 large slabs of Cadbury milk chocolate
- 1/2 can of Nestlé cream (adjust for desired thickness)
Instructions
- Mix cocoa powder with boiling water and set it aside.
- Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form and set aside.
- Sift the dry ingredients (except salt) into a bowl.
- Whisk egg yolks, sugar, and salt until creamy. Add vanilla, milk, buttermilk, oil, and the cocoa mixture. Mix well.
- Gradually fold in the sifted dry ingredients.
- Gently fold in the egg whites until just combined. The batter will be runny.
- Pour the batter into greased mini Bundt pans, filling each ⅔.
- Bake at 170°C (338°F) for 15–20 minutes, or until a skewer comes out clean.
Ganache
- Melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl over simmering water, or in the microwave
- Stir in the cream until the mixture is smooth and thick.
- Let the ganache cool slightly, then drizzle or pour over the cupcakes.
