Too much work at the moment, so I've not done much baking. But we did manage to make these muffins on Sunday, as they take about five minutes.
You'll need:
150g self-raising flour
75g plain flour
50g cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon bicarb of soda
220g brown sugar
45g dessicated coconut
125g chopped glace cherries (the natural ones are lovely, but even the bright red ones go well in this)
95g dark chocolate chips (or smashed up pieces of Christmas tree decorations - whatever you've got really)
1 egg, lightly beaten
20g butter, melted
125ml milk
125ml boiling water
First of all, stick your oven on at 180 degrees C, and find your muffin or jam tart tins. Line them with paper (or silicon) cases (three-year-olds are very good at this bit).
Put your flour, cocoa and bicarb into a large mixing bowl, and swish everything about until it turns a nice shade of brown. Stir in the rest of the ingredients (obviously don't mix the egg and the boiling water together or it'll start to cook...do these two separately). Mix well - it'll be quite a sloppy, dark brown batter. Looks disgusting, will taste divine. Trust me.
Spoon the mixture into your cases (I think this amount made about 16 small fairy-cake sized muffins). Bake in the oven for 20 minutes.
Wait until they've cooled before you eat them. This may take some willpower.
