double chocolate easter cupcakes

• 4 Apr 2012

I don't own a stand mixer because my kitchen is too small to house one. I'd have to store it in my sunroom which is already filled with enough junk as it is, thank-you very much. That doesn't mean I can't dream though. Whilst looking through the website of a well known and very expensive brand of mixer, I came across this recipe. How could I not bake these cupcakes for Easter?



I bought the cupcake holders in London a few years ago but I've only used them once before. They're silicone and they work really well.




I always seem to have leftover chocolate ganache lurking in my freezer so I defrosted what I had - a mix of both milk chocolate and dark chocolate ganache. The easter eggs, I had to buy.



I've always had a soft spot for mini Easter eggs.



Here they are, all packed up and ready to go.



The recipe made 11 small cupcakes and I did try one of the cupcakes. I have to say, the cupcakes are good, they're very, very good.

I'm really looking forward to my Easter break. As Passover starts this coming Friday I'm planning to bake up a storm and will try to post a passover sweet treat every day next week. Passover baking throws up many challenges which I'm aiming to overcome. Wish me luck.

Wishing every-one a safe and Happy Easter,
