Chocolate & Caramel Golden Egg Cupcakes

Jump straight to the recipe!

Step by step…

To make the chocolate sponge I first creamed together the baking spread and caster sugar.

I added the eggs and mixed them in.

Then I mixed in self raising flour, cocoa powder and baking powder.

I divided the cupcakes into cases (I used some brown ones and some gold foil ones as I wasn’t sure which would look best!)

Then I baked them on 180C/160C Fan/350F/Gas Mark 4 for 25 minutes.

When they were cool I used a cupcake corer to remove a section from the middle.

I filled each hole with some Carnation caramel.

I made a buttercream by mixing together baking spread, icing sugar and vanilla extract. Then I added melted Galaxy chocolate and mixed until smooth.

I piped the buttercream onto each of the Chocolate & Caramel Golden Egg Cupcakes to resemble a nest, then placed 3 Golden Galaxy Eggs into the middle.

These Chocolate & Caramel Golden Egg Cupcakes are so decadent and indulgent! The sponge is light, the caramel is rich and the buttercream has that hint of chocolate flavour that is fully satisfied by the shimmering golden eggs. And if you don’t tell your friends and family about the caramel inside, they will get a yummy surprise when they dig in!
