Rocky Road Cupcake Mania

So, we love Rocky Road & we love cupcakes - how about combined? We are big-time fans of turkish delight but find we definitely don't have enough opportunities to use. It is time.

Let's do this!


Pick up:
2 eggs
1 cup (220 g) sugar
1 cup (110 g) all-purpose flour
6 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
2/3 cup (160 ml) milk
2/3 cup (150 g) butter
The exciting bits:

1 cup Chocolate covered turkish delight cut into 1cm cubes 

1/2 cup pink and white mini marshmallows

1/2 Slivered almonds

You simply MUST: 

Set your oven to 180 and get your muffin trays ready. ALWAYS use patty pans - who the heck wants to do more cleaning than necessary right? Tip: we have just started using the silicone muffin trays & have found them pretty awesome so far. 

Toast up your almonds until golden. This will give the bit'o crunch we all love. 

Beat the eggs with sugar, mix in your flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, vanilla and milk. SIMPLE! (& you have to say "SIMPLE" just like Neg from Balls of Steel )

Then all you have to do is fold in the melted butter before you get to the good part. 


Time to stir in the goodness. Gently mix in your turkish delight, almonds and marshmallows. 

Spoon into your prepared muffin trays and get those bad boys into the oven.

Bake for about 30 minutes. We had to do 2 lots - 1 lot of 12 was pretty huge and the second lot of 8 was smaller. Inserting a skewer into the centre of this is pointless as turkish delight & marshmallow will stick all over it. We found 30 mins was perfect for us.  Be sure to cool before removing the wrappers - you'll thank me for this as the goodies will stay inside, not on the paper. 


They will will look like this & you will eat them. I envision these with a scoop of icecream later tonight... yes, yes I do. 

Cook it Mofos.
