As I said in my last post, I made lemon curd muffins for a quiz, but as insurance, I thought i’d make some mocha muffins too, just in case someone didn’t like lemon curd… (I know, shocking huh?! But there are some crazy fools like this in the world!)
This is my mocha muffin recipe…
Makes approximately 10 large muffins…
Ingredients:
6 oz Butter,
6 oz Caster sugar,
3 Eggs,
5 oz SR flour,
2 oz Cocoa powder,
1 tsp Vanilla extract,
2-3 tsps Instant coffee granules,
A handful of chocolate chips (optional)
Preheat your oven to gas mark 4 (As I said in my previous post, you need a big blast of heat to make the muffins rise well, so you may want to crank up the oven to full power as it preheats and turn it down to 4 when you go to put the muffins in…)
Make up your coffee so it has time to cool. You want 2-3 big teaspoons of coffee granules depending on how coffee-e you like it! Add some boiling water, only about an espresso sized amount! So I guess it would work out to be about 2 tablespoons of water. Just enough for the granules to dissolve!
Shove the flour and cocoa powder together…. They don’t need to be seperate… Cream the butter and sugar together, then add the vanilla then the egg and flour/cocoa powder alternately… an egg, a tablespoon of flour/cocoa powder and so on…. Hold a couple of tablespoons of flour/cocoa powder back.
When the coffee is cold, add that to the mix and then finish it all off with the remaining flour/cocoa powder. Give it a good beating!! And then mix in a handful of chocolate chips! (That’s optional…)
Line muffin tins with muffin cases… then fill them up with the mix! Fill them up pretty much to the top for nice big buns. (That’s probably a bad choice of words, but i’m sticking with it!)
Pop them in the oven for about 20-25 minutes. Stick a skewer in and if it comes out clean, you’re done!
Leave them to cool, and bob’s your uncle, they’re done.
I left them plain, but you could top them with a coffee buttercream, or a chocolate icing… whatever you want!
Happy Muffin-ing!
Enjoy.
