3/4 cup vegetable oil or shortening

2 tablespoons powdered sugar

Preparation:

All ingredients should be at room temperature. Preheat the oven to 175C. Place paper baking cup in each of 12 regular-size muffin cups.

In a medium bowl mix flour, baking soda, salt and baking powder. Set aside. In small bowl, mix hot water and cocoa until dissolved. Set aside.

In a mixer bowl, beat shortening and sugar. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition and scraping bowl occasionally. Beat about 2 minutes longer.

On low speed, alternately add flour mixture, about 1/3 of mixture, cocoa mixture, about 1/2 at a time, beating just until blended.

Fill the muffin tins with prepared cake, filling each about 2/3 full.

Bake for 20-25 min. Cool the cupcakes before putting the cream.

Pour into mixer bowl whipping cream, Blackcurrant or Spinach LYO Powder, powdered sugar and Mascarpone cheese. Shortly mix on low speed, then increase the speed and mix until you receive a thick cream. But not too long, be careful that the cream does not get blighted.

Apply the cream to a piping bag and decorate your cupcakes. Sprinkle LYO fruits on the cream.
