whole
1/2 cup butter

How to prepare

Instructions

1

Preheat your oven to 350 F and fill a muffin tin with paper liners. Combine butter and sugar in a bowl and beat until fluffy. Sift flour, baking powder and salt into the bowl. Beat eggs and vanilla and add. Mix until incorporated.

2

Pour a small amount of batter into the bottom of each muffin liner. Add a TURTLE to each tin and cover with batter mixture. Bake for 18 – 20 minutes until risen, golden and delicious. Let cool on a wire rack and pipe a generous amount of chocolate icing onto each cupcake. Enjoy!

Tips

No peeking!

Resist the urge to open the oven while your cupcakes are baking. If you’re looking, they’re not cooking.

Don’t overmix it.

The longer you mix your batter, the denser your cupcakes will become. For a light, fluffy texture, mix until your ingredients have just combined.
