• 240 ml milk, slightly warmed

• 140 ml vegetable oil

• 380 grams of self-raising flour

Instructions:

1. Pre-heat the oven to 180°C and line 2 cupcake trays with silicone cases.

2. Whisk the milk + sugar + eggs together, cracking the eggs in 1 at a time and whisking between each one. Then whisk in the oil and mix until combined.

3. Switch to spatula and incorporate the baking powder + baking soda + salt + flour and mix until nearly all the lumps have gone.

4. Divide the batter into 2 bowls. In the first, mix in the vanilla. For the second, take a little bowl and mix the cocoa powder + coffee granules with a little boiling water and mix to obtain a thick paste and add the paste to the bowl of batter and mix until combined. Add the marshmallows into both bowls and mix to coat them.

5. Divide the batter into the waiting muffin cups and top with the dark chocolate. Bake in the oven for 20 minutes.

6. Once a skewer comes out clean after it has been inserted in one, the muffins are baked and can be left to cool on a wire rack and then be served.
