When it comes to buying baking equipment and supplies there’s one brand which always fills me with confidence, Tala Cooking. I have so much Tala branded bakeware in my cupboards that I could probably stock a small store, but there’s a reason behind why I put so much trust in the brand. It’s quality produce that doesn’t break the bank. Plus, how can’t you trust a company that have been supplying kitchens with bakeware since 1899? Say What!? In fact, I have some super cool vintage Tala cake decorating equipment on display in my bakery. That packaging is so retro, I just love it!
When Tala Cooking contacted me asking if I could create a Valentine’s Day bake for them using some of their products I was thrilled. It’s always so wonderful to partner with a brand you think so highly of. Straight away I set to thinking of something fun to bake that everyone would love. That’s when I thought up these Raspberry Brownie Cupcakes, the perfect compromise between a brownies and a cute little cupcake. It’s a brownie wearing its Sunday best, if you will.
Baking these raspberry brownie cupcakes is so super simple, I’m gonna walk you through it right here and now! First, you start off melting butter and chocolate together until silky, next add it to beaten eggs and sugar before sifting in the flour. Stir together until nice and smooth before stirring through some fresh or frozen raspberries. Next you want to line two 6 hole Tala performance bun trays with some super cute Tala cupcake liners and fill each case almost to the top (brownies don’t rise as much as cupcakes so you can fill the cases much more than you usually would). Pop them in the oven and let your house fill with rich, chocolatey smells. Devine!
Once baked let your chocolate bombs of yumminess sit in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire cooling rack until completely cool. Now’s the fun bit, decorating! Mix butter with some sifted icing sugar from the Tala sugar shaker and some freeze dried raspberries, whip it until it’s fluffy like a cloud and fill a Tala piping bag fitted with a round nozzle. Pipe cute little swirls atop each brownie cupcake and top with a raspberry, a shard of dark chocolate and a drizzle of melted chocolate. There you have it, sweets for your sweet and sugar for your honey.
For the full recipe please see below, I wouldn’t leave you hanging like that.
I’m always so impressed with the Tala brand and I know the products I have will last a long time. The quality is second to none and to top it all off, everything is just so darned cute! The design is based on the kitchenware of the 1960’s which looks super kitsch on your kitchen shelves.
