Cupcake Ingredients

180g Stork Baking Margarine
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp salt
2 1/2 cups flour
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 tsp red gel food coloring plus 2 tbsp water
2 tbsp cocoa
1 cup buttermilk/natural yoghurt
3 tsp baking powder

Icing Ingredients

1 cup milk
1/3 cup flour
1 cup Stork Baking Margarine
1 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp vanilla
Milk/cream

Step by step method

  1. Preheat oven to 180ºC.

  3. Cream Stork Bake and sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add eggs and beat 1 minute longer.
  5. Beat in vanilla until blended.
  6. Combine cocoa, food coloring, and 2 tbsp water; beat into the egg creamed mixture.
  7. Combine flour and salt.
  8. Alternate adding flour and buttermilk/yoghurt mixtures to the batter, beating on low to medium speed.
  9. Add the baking powder to cake batter. Spoon batter evenly into the cupcake tray; bake for 20 - 25 minutes.

  12. Cool in the refrigerator. Beat Stork Bake, sugar and vanilla with mixer.
