Maltesers are bloody delicious, as anyone will tell you. And as they are ‘the lighter way to enjoy chocolate’, that makes this recipe completely guilt-free! You can’t argue with logic like that! Feel free to use a different kind of chocolate if you wish, but the malt and chocolate combo goes so well together that it is very strongly recommended.
I love getting back to basics as far as cannabis cooking is concerned, and you can’t get much more basic than cupcakes! Having your cakes already divided into perfect portion sizes means it is easier to not over indulge. This will make about 12 cupcakes.
Ingredient
For the cakes
- 8oz caster sugar
- 8oz cannabutter at room temperature
- 8oz self raising flour
- 4 free range eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2.5 oz maltesers
For the icing
- 8oz cannabutter at room temperature
- 16oz icing sugar
- 2tsp vanilla extract
- 1oz maltesers
Method
- Start with the cake mix; begin by mixing the caster sugar and the cannabutter together in a large bowl. You can either do this with a wooden spoon or an electric hand whisk. You will need to cream them together until light and fluffy.
- One at a time add the eggs and mix in well. If you add them all at once the mix will look lumpy and curdled! So be patient and just do one at a time until thoroughly mixed together.
- Add the vanilla extract and whisk well.
- Add in the flour and stir in using a wooden spoon until the cake bater looks really smooth and creamy. Finally stir in the maltesers.
- Divide the mixture into 12 cupcake liners in a cupcake tin. Place in an oven pre-heated to 180C (160C if you’re using a fan oven.) Bake for about 16-18 minutes or until golden and firm. When you pierce the cakes with a skewer, the skewer should come out clean. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.
- Now to make the icing!
- Mix together the cannabutter, icing sugar and vanilla in a seperate bowl. Once they are vaguely mixed get an electric hand whisk, and whisk the icing until it becomes pale and fluffy.
- Once the cakes are a little cooler you can dollop the icing on top of them, then take the remaining maltesers, crush them up and sprinkle over the top.
- Enjoy!
