Recipe Time!! 

Ok, so I am going to try to post a recipe every Friday (if I can). I am going to try to post a recipe I have made already, but most of them will just be a recipe I found in a book in my house (My mom and I have lots of cook books!).This sounds very interesting so lets get started:

Mocha Mini Cupcakes

You will need:

6 tbs butter, softened

1/2 cups sugar

1 tbs cocoa

1/3 cups milk

1 teaspoon coffee

1 cup of self-raising flour

Topping:

6 tbs butter, softened

1 teaspoon coffee

1 cup confectioner's sugar

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 360 F. Line a 24 mini cupcake pan papers (Or spray it). In a medium sized bowl, use a electric mixer on high speed to cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and mix well.
2. Add flour, cocoa, milk and coffee and beat with a mixer on medium until well combined.

 3. Divid the mixture evenly between the 24 mini cupcake papers. Bake for 10-15 minutes until well risen and firm to the touch. Allow them to cool before frosting. 

Topping:

1. Use a electric mixer on high speed to beat the butter and coffee until light and fluffy. Gradually beat in confectioner's sugar until all combined, continue beating for 1 min
