New Day......New Treats

Now, I gotta tell you...I can eat a sweet treat any time of the day.  Breakfast, lunch and dinner if given a choice.  How many of you are the same way?   Horrible, isn't it !?  Oh well, at least I recognize what my vices are.

So, today's recipe is for CUPCAKES........but can you guess what kind ?  CHOCOLATE !

5 ounces of softened butter
1 cup caster sugar (superfine)
3/4 cup cocoa
2 eggs
1 cup self-rising flour

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.  Beat the butter and sugar in an electric mixer until light and fluffy.  Add the cocoa, the eggs and the flour.  Mix until combined.  Spoon the cupcake mixture into a nine count non-stick muffin pan.  Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until just soft in the middle.  Turn them out onto serving plates and serve with ice cream.

These are really more like little lava cakes because you do not use paper cupcake cups when you bake these.  Great as a dessert after dinner or just whenever you want something sweet.  Enjoy.
