Muffins with choc eggs inside.

korbo, Feb 27, 2:52am
Somewhere I read about making muffins, and puttingone of those very small easter eggs in the middle.
I tried this with some last year, and the choc didnt melt.Was still hard.
Can anyone remember or know what ones would melt inside the muffin.
thanks. thought they would be different.

a lady i talk to uses the caramello ones that are on the long blister packs.

The chocolate will be soft it you eat it warm.Goes back to hard once cooled.And I agree with southerngurl - use those caramel ones in blister packs - not cheap brands for best results.

It's an Edmond's recipe I modified

125 gr butter
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
1/2 cup sugar (recipe says castor, but I use ordinary)
2 eggs
1 cup flour
2 tspns baking powder
1/4 cup milk

Cream butter, sugar and vanillia, add eggs 1 at a time and beat after each.Fold in flour and b.p.Stir in milk.

I added a couple of spoonfuls of instant coffee to the milk,

This makes 12 "normal size" cakes.I put a rolo in each case when part full then filled them up,Bake at 190C for 15 minutes.I use a plain glace icing.On the off chance people don't know it here's how.

Place some icing sugar in a bowl with a knob of butter.I guess I use about a cup of icing sugar but I have icing left over.I used about a teaspoon of vanilla and a couple of tablespoons of cocoa (you can use other flavourings and colours depending on what you are making).Add boiling water a few drops at a time until it reaches a spreading consistency.Then spread on cake with a knife and add any sprinkles before it sets.It doesn't set really hard.

Modifying above cupcake recipe.

Lemon or orange
Omit vanilla essence and add 2 teaspoons lemon rind or orange ring.

Queen cakes
Add 1/2 cup sultanas before milk

Chocolate
Substitute some cocoa for some flour.Edmonds says 2 tbspns, but I use a bit more
