Choc Honeycomb Cupcakes

For The Cupcakes…

• 5 ½ ounces cake flour
• 5 ½ ounces super fine sugar
• 6 ounces unsalted butter softened
• 3 large lightly beaten eggs
• ½ teaspoon vanilla essence
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 2 tablespoons dutched cocoa powder

For The Honeycomb Filling…

• 5 ounces semi sweet chocolate
• ¼ cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon honeycomb flavoring

For The Honeycomb Topping…

• 2 ounces melting chocolate
• 1 packet of honeycomb

Method:

Preheat your oven to 350° F (180° C) and prepare 12 paper cupcake cases in muffin tins.

Place softened butter and sugar into a bowl and cream with an electric mixer until the butter changes
colour. (generally 2 minutes)

Add in lightly beaten eggs to the mix a little at a time, beating on slow for 15 seconds between each
addition. Add Vanilla then sift in flour and baking powder and cocoa and mix for a further minute.

Spoon batter into cases until they are approx 2/3rds full and then place in the middle rack in your preheated
oven.

Bake for approx 18 to 20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean, then remove and let sit for a few
minutes before removing the cupcakes from the tins and placing them on a wire rack to cool.

Melt the semi sweet chocolate over a double boiler until almost melted, heat cream in a saucepan until it just
starts to boil, then pour over chocolate and mix until smooth then stir in honeycomb flavoring.

Allow filling to cool to a piping consistency, then cut a small hole in the center of each cupcake and dig out
with a spoon. Discard the center and pipe a cone of the chocolate honeycomb filling then place the chopped
honeycomb pieces around the outside.

Melt remaining chocolate over a double boiler, and then drizzle chocolate across the honeycomb to hold in
place.

This is a good cupcake to make if you enjoy honeycomb, if you do not then i dont recommend this cupcake. Also if you dont enjoy things that are really sweet I wouldnt reccomend it because it is really sweet and you probably wont enjoy it as much as someone who loves sweets.
