Ingredients: 

  • 150g margarine
  • 150g caster sugar
  • 150g self-raising flour
  • 2 large eggs,
  • 2 tbsp milk
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • 2 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 100g beetroot, cooked and grated

 

Icing: 

  • 200g white vanilla buttercream
  • 2 tbsp cocoa powder

 

Decoration: 

  • 12 mini Jaffa Cakes

  • Brown and red M&Ms
  • Pretzels
  • 2 Kit Kats (4 fingers)
  • Chocolate fingers
  • 4 candy canes
  • 1 chocolate Santa

 ________________________________________________________________

Method:

1. Preheat the oven to 160°C Fan / 350°F / Gas.
2. Line a 12-hole muffin tin with cases.
3. Measure the cake ingredients into a large bowl. Beat until smooth. I’m using the Dualit Hand Mixer with flat beater attachment for ease.
4. Spoon into the cases and bake for 20-25 minutes until well risen and set in the centre.
5. To decorate the reindeer, mix the buttercream and cocoa powder together in a bowl. Again, I’ve used the Dualit Hand Mixer flat beater for a smooth consistency.
6. Spread the chocolate buttercream over each cupcake, and then add a Jaffa Cake to each one, with a brown or red M&M to make the nose (use a small amount of buttercream to stick the M&M’s on).
7. Add the eyes, and then two pretzels to each one to make the antlers.
8. To assemble, lay a track using chocolate fingers. Build a sleigh by laying 2 Kit Kats across 4 candy canes, using chocolate buttercream to stick as needed. Place the chocolate Santa on the sleigh, and then arrange the reindeer cupcakes and edible sleigh across the tracks.
