Quest of the Cupcake

Prepare Cupcakes 

 

Simple to make and quick to disappear, these moist and flavourful chocolate cupcakes with vanilla frosting will be your new favorite. 

For best results, use natural cocoa powder and buttermilk in the cupcake batter. Love the sugar sprinkles on top? You can definitely add them onto the icing for more flavour. 

 

Chocolate Cupcakes preparation 

 

Dry ingredients:

125g all-purpose flour

200g granulated sugar

35g unsweetened cocoa powder

60ml vegetable oil

1 large egg

120ml hot water

​

Step by step instructions 

​

Prepare the oven 

Preheat your oven to 175°C

Line a 12-cup muffin tray with cupcake liners.

​

Mix the dry ingredients 

In a large bowl, whisk together:

​

Slowly pour in the hot water and stir carefully.

The batter will look thin — that’s normal.

​

Fill the cupcakes Liners 

Fill each liner about 2/3 full.

Try not to overfill or they may overflow while baking.

 

Bake 

Bake for:

18–22 minutes

Check doneness by inserting a toothpick or spaghetti into the center:

if it comes out clean or with a few crumbs, they’re ready.

​

Cool 

Let cupcakes cool in the pan for 5 minutes.

Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before frosting.

​

Vanilla Buttercream

​

I simply love sweet & creamy vanilla buttercream, don’t you do too?! and rainbow sprinkles just add an extra magical touch on these chocolate cupcakes. I use a large open star tip for mine. 

​

150g softened butter

220g powdered sugar

2–3 tbsp milk

1 tsp vanilla extract 

​

Steps 

Beat butter until creamy.

Add powdered sugar gradually.

Eat The Cup Cake/s

​

Well done for making your cupcakes I bet they look and smell absolutely delicious! 

Well, now it’s time to flavour them. 

​

Now that you made it so far you need to prepare yourself and your space for this next part of the quest. 

​

You can decide to undertake this task naked or with very little clothes on. Whatever makes you feel comfortable. 

I would recommend to do this in an intimate space where you cannot be disturbed. 

​

Gather:

​

Medium/large Mirror 

Speakers to play your favourite music 

Matt (the dildo)

Something comfortable (large cushion or a blanket) to sit on  

A large plate with all the decorated cupcakes you think you can manage to eat.

​

Place the blanket or cushion on the floor and the mirror in front of you so you can see your full self sitting down in front of it. 

Place Matt between you and the mirror so that with your gaze you can switch between him and the image of your self reflected in the mirror. 

Place the cupcake’s plate on your side for easy access. 

​

Start the music and reach out for one of the cupcakes. Do it thoughtfully, you’re about to flavour the fruits of your labour. 

Look deeply at yourself in the mirror while you remind yourself out loud or mentally how much you really love the taste of chocolate cupcakes, how much you’ve been waiting for this moment and how much that desire is coming from deep within yourself and nobody else can decide how and when you should eat cupcakes, only you can give that permission to yourself.

And to be with your self and allow yourself this pleasure is a treat, a privilege you are allowing yourself to experience.

While you take mental note or voice your desire for chocolate cupcakes look at your own image in the mirror, see how sincerely excited you are to taste a bit of the vanilla icing, to bite on that crunchy glittering sugar sprinkles, to flavour the chocolate at the back of your throat as you’ll swallow. As you flavour in anticipation, stick your tongue out and give it a taste, have a little bite or lick it. And look at yourself in the mirror and Matt and at your self again. How beautiful you are when you eat your favourite cupcakes!

You carry on tasting and eating until your tummy is full and your heart is content. 

When you finish look at Matt and tell him out loud “this is how it’s done”
