This weekend's venture was Nanaimo Cupcakes.
I posted this on my facebook status and a lot (2) of my international followers asked me to send them some. Unfortunately due to lame import laws, I can't do that. So here is the recipe instead, along with some pretty helpful photos of the process.
Ingredients:
Cake
1 cup boiling water
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
1 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/8 tsp baking powder
1/8 tsp salt
1/4 cup graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup ground almonds
1/4 cup unsweetened dessicated coconut
frosting
1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
1/4 cup + 4 tsp cream
1/4 cup custard powder
4 cups icing sugar
Process:
Dissolve cocoa powder in boiling water, and allow to cool to room temperature.
Preheat oven to 350˚F and line a mini muffin tin with paper liners. Cream together butter and sugar.
After all that, your stove should look like this.

For the frosting, just beat until smooth!
Your shirt should look like this:
When your roommate drops the icing sugar, that should look like this:
In the end, they should come out looking better than this:
