Jam making season is here and this image by @irish_mammy_cooks has inspired us to get Jamming in the Kitchen this weekend! 🤗

Our Jam Sugar is perfect for making yummy, sweet, sticky jam - just like your granny’s!

It's best used with fruits low in pectin like strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, pears and rhubarb… So get your apron on and get stirring! 🤗

We love a Cupcake especially when it combines Chocolate and Orange together 🤤

Hit SAVE so you can come back to this Recipe by @thenakedblondie for these delicious Chocolate Orange Cupcakes using @gembakes.ie Sugar!

Makes 12 Cupcakes

Ingredients

180g self-raising flour @dunnesstores
30g of cocoa powder
95ml of sunflower oil or any flavourless oil
55g of melted of butter
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
150g of caster sugar
2 tbsp of golden syrup warmed in microwave 20s blast
2 large eggs
40ml of milk
60g of sour cream
50ml of orange juice
Zest of large orange
1 tsp of Orange extract

For the icing
150g of room temperature softened butter (I like salted for this)
300g of powdered sugar @gembakes.ie
40g of cocoa powder
2 tbsp of double cream (a little more if needed) @avonmore
1.5 tsp of orange extract

Method
Preheat your oven to 180C/160C fan/gas mark 4. line a cupcake tray with greaseproof cupcake liners.

Weigh out and sieve the flour, cocoa powder and bicarbonate of soda into a bowl. Weigh out the caster sugar and add the zest of orange and stir together. Beat the golden syrup, eggs, oil, butter, orange juice, sour cream and milk together and making a well in the centre of the dry ingredients pour in the wet. Beat well with a whisk until smooth.

Divide the mixture into the twelve case and bake for 24-26 mins until you bave a bouncy sponge and a clean skewer. They should be singing when you remove from the oven, leave to cool for a few minutes before turning out onto a cooling rack.

For the buttercream, beat the softened butter on high speed for a minimum of ten minutes until the butter is pale & fluffy. Add half the powdered sugar and beat together for 5 minutes before adding the remaining amount of powdered sugar, the cocoa powder, cream and orange extract. Mix well with electric whisks until the fudgey buttercream is light and fluffy. Use a spatula to remove the air bubbles after you have chilled.

You can spread the buttercream simply with a knife or choose to pipe the buttercream with a nozzle tip of choice.
