- 145 g Light Brown Sugar
- 145 g Self-Raising Flour
- 50 g Malt Powder
- 1 tsp Baking Powder
- 3 Large Eggs
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 100 g White Chocolate Chips
For the Buttercream
- 450 g Icing Sugar
- 50 g Malt Powder
- 250 g Unsalted Butter
For the Decoration (all completely optional)

Instructions
To Make the Cupcakes
- Preheat the oven to 180C/160 Fan. Line a muffin tray with cupcake liners and leave to one side.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar and butter until light and fluffy.
- Add in the flour, malt powder, baking powder, eggs, and vanilla and whisk until all combined.
- Add in the white chocolate chips and fold through until they are evenly distributed.
- Spoon the mixture into the cupcake liners. I use a small ice cream scoop to do this so I know that they are all even.
- Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes. You will know the cupcakes are ready when they are golden brown and springy to touch.
To Make the Buttercream
- In a bowl add the icing sugar, malt powder and butter and mix until it is combined. If you find the buttercream is too thick add 1tbsp of milk and mix again. Repeat until the buttercream is the perfect consistency.
- Add the buttercream to your piping bag and pipe onto the top of the cupcakes.
To Decorate (again all completely optional)
- Add the white chocolate to a heatproof bowl and melt in the microwave on 20-secondbursts until completely melted and smooth.
- Add to a piping bag and drizzle over the top of your cupcakes.
- Add some sprinkles and finish with your Malteser bunnies.
