October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and I thought I will set myself a challenge to bake something pink every week this month. So, this weekend, I decided to combine the Husband's favourite food, chocolate, with my choice of pink, strawberries.
This delicious cupcake is baked out of plain flour, bicarbonate of soda, baking powder, sugar, butter, chocolate chips, water, eggs, cocoa powder and a little bit of salt.
For the icing, I used Sainsbury's strawberry flavoured icing powder mixed with water and beaten with butter to make strawberry buttercream icing!
The original recipe was for 18 muffin sized cupcakes but by making them just a little bit smaller, I ended up with 37 cupcakes! All but 4 were eaten by the end of the day in the Office and I had a request for the recipe!
The Husband has declared them 'quite good' but he's not a fan of creamy stuff, so buttercream icing is always a taste challenge for him!
