Confetti Cake Pop Stuffed Chocolate Cupcakes

Makes: 6 cupcakes

Ingredients:
Cupcake Batter

• ¼ cup cacao powder
• ¼ cup plain flour (can use gluten free)
• 2 tbsp self-rising flour (can use gluten free)
• 1 tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp salt
• 1 egg
• ¼ cup caster sugar
• ¼ cup brown sugar
• 50 grams butter
• 1 tsp vanilla essence
• ¼ cup milk of choice

Filling

• 6 tsp American Dream Nut Butter Confetti Cake Pop Almond Butter

Icing

• 60 grams butter
• 60 grams American Dream Nut Butter Confetti Cake Pop Almond Butter
• 2 cups icing sugar
• ¼ cup milk of choice

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius fan-forced, and line a standard muffin tray with 6 muffin liners.
2. In a large mixing bowl, melt the butter in the microwave.
3. Allow it to cool slightly before adding the caster sugar, brown sugar, egg, vanilla essence and milk and whisking to combine.
4. Add the baking powder and salt and stir.
5. Gradually sift in the cacao powder and flours, whisking between each to ensure all lumps are gone.
6. Distribute the cake mix evenly between the 6 muffin liners.
7. Bake the cupcakes in the oven for approximately 25 minutes or until an inserted skewer comes out clean, and the cupcakes spring back when you touch them lightly.
8. Set the cupcakes aside on a wire rack to cool completely. Remove the butter for the icing from the fridge to soften.
9. Once they are cool, use a small circular piping bag attachment (or a small spoon) to remove about 1 tsp of cake from the centre of each cupcake.
10. Fill each hole with 1 tsp of Confetti Cake Pop Almond Butter.
11. To make the icing, whip together the softened butter, Confetti Cake Pop Almond Butter, icing sugar and milk in a large bowl using an electric whisk.
12. Spread or pipe the icing on the cupcakes, and enjoy.
