Mississippi Elliot Cupcakes

I was having a right old playa palava about what to bake this week, I hadn't had any divine inspiration for a good couple of days and then mid conversation with CJ (fellow hustlin housemate) it came to me. We were chatting about our favourite female rappers to which he replied his was ''Missy Elliot'', well the conversation ended right there for me as my candy floss head ticked over... Missy Elliot..Mississippi mud pie cakes..Pow! So here they are, inspired by the classic dessert Mississippi Mud Pie and baked to some Pass That dutch (what a banger) I present the Mississippi Elliot Cupcakes.  I can't say that I have had any reviews on them yet as they are currently in a tin waiting for jolly to the pub to catch up with some pals, but go playa haters and get your freak on with this recipe. 

Mississippi Elliot Cupcakes

You will need:

6oz Butter

6oz Sugar

5oz Self raising flour

80g dark chocolate

1/2 Packet chocolate Oreos

3 eggs

For the topping:

150 ml Double cream

Fudge pieces

A bag of mini marshmallows

20g Dark chocolate

1/2 pack of Oreos

Method:

Preheat the oven to 180C. Beat the butter and sugar together in a bowl, now make sure you use a large one as there are quite a lot of ingredients involved in this not so simple sponge. Crack the three eggs into the bowl, and beat the mixture until light and fluffy. Now Oreos seem to come into my baking a lot, its probably cos I live with Sam who is totally obsessed by them and fully takes advantage of Tesco's offer of 49p per pack...EVERY NIGHT! Anyway use half a pack of chocolate Oreos and crush them up, maybe imagine they're someone who's been hating on yo playa game and then trust me you really go in on the smashing flex, once smashed add to the mixture and stir well. Sift the flour in and fold the mixture carefully. You then need to melt the chocolate and add to the mixture before pouring into cupcake cases. 

Cook for 25 minutes and then remove the cakes from the tray and leave to cool ready for the ultimate Mississippi topping. 

Whip the double cream, now if you have read any previous posts you'll know my wrist has had some pretty big workouts of late but luckily I have got the electric one now and its strictly gym for arm action from here on. This wont take long and once whisked to a thick state you can add in the fudge pieces, marshmallows and some more crushed Oreos. Spread the cream over the cakes and drizzle melted dark chocolate over the top to achieve that biscuity chocolate dream cream icing. 

Again its hard to choose the ultimate Missy track but this one definitely reminds me of being a teenager with my Adidas track top on and thinking I could two step my way to hip-hop hoe status.
