INSTRUCTIONS!!!
Ingredients
125 grams plain flour
1 tablespoon cocoa powder (sifted) ( half this for brighter colour)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
50 grams soft unsalted butter
100 grams caster sugar
1/2 heaped tablespoon green paste food colouring (THIS DIDN'T WORK FOR ME! Maybe just use red for BLOOD RED CAKES)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 large egg
90 ml buttermilk
1/2 teaspoon cider vinegar
A tub of vanilla icing

Equipment: bowl, large mixing bowl, sieve, cupcake cases, cupcake tray, wooden spoon (or mixer set to beat)

For the decoration: chocolatey treats, edible glitter, gummy laces, metallic balls, sugar crystals, writing icing, food colouring

Method:
1. Preheat the oven to 170°C/gas mark 3/325°F
2. Combine flour, cocoa, baking powder and bicarbonate of soda in a bowl.
3. In another bowl, cream the butter and sugar, beating well, and when it becomes a soft pale mixture beat in the food colouring and the vanilla.
4. Then add half the dry ingredients, beat some more then the egg, followed by the rest of the dry ingredients
5. Finally beat in the buttermilk and the vinegar and divide this extraordinary batter between the 12 cases.  Bake in the oven for about 20-25 minutes (ours we a bit underdone in 20 mins) and your cakes will be BORN
6. Leave them to cool on a wire rack and ice them when they have cooled down

    I've watched this video 7 times and I've just realised that they could've made vanilla cupcakes and added green food coloring to them.

    I came here to calm myself down. I was the hugest of Dan and Phil and I will always love them for the positive impact they had on my life. Right now life is ROUGH for everyone, and honestly taking a nostalgic trip to the place that used to never fail to calm me down Is my last resort to getting even a small piece of serotonin. Ty Dan and Phil x

    Why didn't they just add food coloring to the batter after they finished mixing everything together And a cupcake went missing at decoration station

    "Ahh memories from Tyler Oakley" omg I laughed way too hard 😂
  • @sezztooley
    I’ve noticed a lot of their content has the same “I came here because I needed comfort” or “I came here to calm down” recently. I’ve also been returning to their videos as they’re the only ones that will take me out of reality for a sweet moment. Hello everyone who needs a bit of comfort 😊
