Malibu White Chocolate Cupcakes

I love Malibu and I love white chocolate together mmmmmm yummy!

My official cupcakes tester (one of many) Leigh, likes these cupcakes the most!
I love them too, however I'm not so enthusiastic about the frosting don't get me wrong it matches the cake perfectly and it tastes great however it doesn't have the wow look, i think food should look just as amazing as it tastes so I'm still working on a butter cream that would compliment the cake perfectly ill let you know when I've found a frosting that will work

White chocolate mud cake:

125g butter chopped coarsely

80g eating chocolate - i use cadbury dream as its usually on special

1 cup of caster sugar

1/2 cup of milk

1/2 cup standard flour

1/2 cup self raising flour

1 tablespoon of Malibu

1 egg ( use free range happy chickens lay happy eggs)

Preheat oven to 180 degrees line a 12 hole texas muffin tin

combine butter, chocolate,sugar and milk into a saucepan stir over a low heat until smooth then transfer the mixture over to another bowl and let cool for about 15Min's

beat in the sifted flours, Malibu and egg

divide into patty cases - i usually get 12 cupcakes out of this mixture, its kinda good not to let them rise up too high as you need a bit of space for the ganache to settle in

pop your wee baby's in the oven and cook them for about 15Min's - keep watch they do brown very easily while they are cooking you can get started on you white choc ganache

White chocolate Malibu ganache:

1/4 cup of cream

185g white eating chocolate chopped coarsely

1 tablespoon of Malibu

Happy baking :)
