Okay, that title is a bit of a lie. These are actually chocolate chip cookie dough cupcakes. Each of them has a ball of cookie dough in the centre (it's something I've noticed on a few blogs whilst I was browsing around and wanted to try out yesterday after a bit on a downer of a day). Unfortunately, the cookie dough is far too floury and not that nice to eat. But the rest of it is soooo good I can't bring myself to call it a failed experiment. Hence I'm not. I'm just missing out the cookie dough middles. I will attempt the cookie dough centre again at some point but for now I am going to post the recipe for the cakes and the icing.
Recipe:
The cakes were made in a mini muffin tray because it was a trial recipe and I thought tiny cakes would make a nice addition to my lunch. They use a halved batch of my standard fairy cake recipe, with the addition of 75g of chocolate chips.
Cookie Dough Buttercream - adapted from What's Cooking on Planet Byn
This is a halved recipe.
- 85g/3oz butter
- 45g/1.5oz brown sugar
- 110g/4oz icing sugar
- 32g/1.1oz plain flour
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 3/4 tbsp milk
- 3/4 tsp vanilla extract
- 25g chocolate chips/chunks
- Mix together the butter and the brown sugar until creamy.
- Beat in the icing sugar until it is smooth.
- Add flour and salt and beat in.
- Finally add milk and vanilla and keep mixing until everything is combined and you have a reasonable smooth mixture.
- Put in a piping bag with a small star nozzle (mine was a 30) and pipe swirls ontop of cakes.
- Finish with some chocolate chips/chunks on top.
