5 Ingredient Chocolate Cupcakes


During these difficult times trying to keep the norm is something that I am trying to do, and one way of doing that in our house is baking. We have such an easy, fool proof recipe here which consists of just 5 ingredients.

 These chocolate cupcakes are so fluffy and go down a treat for a nice pudding. These are something that Lilly (aged 7 1/2) can pretty much bake on her own up until the point of putting them in the oven.

Ingredients:

3 x Eggs
Self raising flour - weight of eggs minus 2oz
Sugar - weight of eggs
Marge - weight of eggs
Cocoa - 2oz

Method

1. Preheat your oven to gas mark 5/190°c and line a tin with cupcake cases. 
2. Mix the sugar and marge together until creamy and smooth. 
3. Slowly add the eggs, one buly one, if starts to curdle add a small amount of flour.
4. Add the rest of your dry ingredients and mix together until smooth. 
5. Place your mixture into the cupcake cases and place in the over for 15 minutes.
6. After 15 minutes check that the sponge springs back up, if not bake in 3 minute stints until they spring up when touched.

And that's it, they are so nice when they are still warm and don't last very long in our house at all.

If you do make them I would love to know, please tag me on Instagram @victoriajane191

    What an easy-to-follow recipe! Nicely worded and simple. They won't last long in my house either!
    Now if I can just find some covid-19 period self-raising flour... ;)
    Good work Viki!

Autumn Tag

Hello, I thought that today I would take part in the Autumn tag so you can all get to know me a little better, I took part in this on my old blog many years back and a lot has changed since. Autumn has to be my favourite season with so much change and the excitement for Christmas not far ahead. 1. What signifies the start of Autumn for you? I know Autumn starts at the end of September but for me its the first of November when it starts to officially feel like Autumn, it all of the sudden feels different and colder after Halloween and especially when the clocks go back too. 2. What is your favourite Autumn scent? My favourite autumn scents are either Orange or berries, they always make the house smell so warm and toasty in wax melt form and I love them in a hand cream or even a bubble bath scent too around this time of year.. 3. What is your favourite Autumn colour? My favourite Autumn colour has to be the burnt orange for the leaves but burgundy colour for clothing, the are just very w...

Cottage pie recipe

I have recently started making my own Cottage pie with a recipe that I have tweeted to work four our fussy family. I find that a cottage pie is such an Autumn/Winter staple as it feeling like such a warm, hearty meal, one that is a proper comfort meal.  I recently started making the meal and found that I didn't have a packet mix in so decided to find a recipe to try out, the first one I found sounded good but I changed it slightly to fit our family, Lils isn't keen on fresh onion ad none of us like celery. I thought I would share our recipe with you which can easily be adapted if need be. Recipe 500g Beef Mince 1 carton of tomato passata  1 tbs tomato paste 1 beef stock cube 1 beef stock pot 1 tsp onion salt 1 tsp garlic granules 1 tsp mixed herbs 2 medium carrots sliced and part cooked Salt and pepper 3 large potatoes for mash 75g cheese Method 1. Preheat you oven to gas mark 4/180oC 2. Brown off the mince and drain off excess oil from the pan. 3. Pour in the pass...
