Chocolate Apple Cupcakes

A friend gave me the recipe for Chocolate Apple Cupcakes years ago. It is still a family favorite.

This chocolate cupcake recipe is so easy to make as everything goes in the food processor together. The cupcakes are literally made in seconds.

I always used to think he hardest part of making these cakes was peeling and chopping the apples. But now I still peel the apples but chop into fairly large pieces and let the food processor do the rest.

Ingredients:

• 6oz (185g) butter, chopped
• 1 1/4 cups (275g) castor sugar
• 3 eggs
• 2 cups (300g) self-raising flour
• 1/3 cup (35g) cocoa
• 1/4 tsp bicarb soda
• 1/3 cup (80ml) water
• 2 medium apples, peeled, cored and finely chopped.

Preparation:

• Preheat oven to 160C (350F).

• Place cupcake liners in tray.

• Combine all ingredients in large bowl of a food processor and blend until well combined, scraping down the side of the container occasionally.

• Spoon into cupcake trays.

• Bake for 15 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the center of a chocolate apple cupcake comes out clean.

• Stand for 5 minutes before turning on to wire rack to cool. Cakes can either be frosted or covered in sifted confectioners (icing) sugar.
