This is a bit of a weird old recipe from my family, but it really works. Great for kids' parties, and tasty for adults too!

Recipe

Ingredients

• 115g butter
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 Tbsp cocoa
• 1/2 tsp baking soda dissolved in small 1/2 cup milk
• 1.5 cups flour, whisked together with 3tsp baking powder
• 1/4 cup warm water
• Fresh whipped cream
• Icing sugar for dusting
• Cupcake liners

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees celcius.
2. Cream the butter and sugar.
3. Beat in the egg and cocoa.
4. Mix in the milk (with the soda in it) and flour.
5. Lastly, add warm water.
6. Bake 20 minutes.
7. Cut out the center of each cupcake, angling the knife at a 45 degrees to make a little hole. Then cut it in half to make wings.
8. Fill the hole with whipped cream.
9. Place the wings on top.
10. Repeat with the other cupcakes, then dust them all with icing sugar.
