Mary Berry All in One Chocolate Cupcakes

Mary Berry Double Chocolate Chip Muffins

Mary Berry All-in-One Cupcakes are light, chocolate-flavoured cupcakes made using the all-in-one method—where dry and wet ingredients are mixed together in one go. This creates a smooth batter with minimal effort and produces evenly risen, perfectly soft cupcakes every time.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 100g soft butter

  • 100g caster sugar

  • 100g self-raising flour

  • 2 tbsp cocoa powder

  • 1 tsp baking powder

  • 2 large eggs

  • 2 tbsp milk

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)

For the chocolate icing (optional):

  • 75g butter (softened)

  • 150g icing sugar

  • 1 tbsp cocoa powder

  • 12 tbsp milk

Instructions

  • Line the tin: Place paper cases into the cupcake tray for easy removal.

  • Add all ingredients: Put butter, sugar, eggs, flour, cocoa, baking powder, milk, and vanilla into one bowl.

  • Mix until smooth: Beat everything together for 1 minute until the batter is creamy and lump-free.

  • Fill cases evenly: Spoon the mixture into cases, filling them about two-thirds full.

  • Bake the cupcakes: Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 15–18 minutes until risen.

  • Check doneness: Insert a skewer; it should come out clean.

  • Cool completely: Let cupcakes cool on a wire rack before icing.

  • Make the icing: Beat butter, icing sugar, and cocoa until fluffy, adding milk for softness.

  • Decorate gently: Pipe or spread icing onto cooled cupcakes and finish with sprinkles if desired.
