Kaitaia Fire Cupcakes and Giveaway
Well hello there cupcake...you look delicious and chocolatey....I'll just have a little nibble. Oh okay why not the whole thing, can't let a cupcake go to waste.
Oooh why is there a party in my mouth...and someone brought matches?
These beauties come with an extra little kick. If you are from New Zealand you probably know what Kaitaia Fire is...if you are not then Tabasco Sauce is probably its closest cousin. In fact you can use Tabasco Sauce instead. But Kaitaia Fire is closer to my heart. It's made in the town of Mangonui where me and Owen honeymooned 13 years ago.
These are also gluten and dairy free! Whoopee!!
Kaitaia Fire and Chocolate Cupcakes (also known as Chilli Chocolate)
1 cup gluten free baking mix (I use Healtheries brand, its never failed on me)
1/2 cup caster sugar
1/2 cup dessicated coconut
1/4 cup cocoa powder
3 eggs
3 tablespoons melted dairy free spread
2 tablespoons soy milk
A good dose of ground chilli flakes - I used roughly a teaspoon.
2 teaspoons baking powder.
Mix all the ingredients on high in your mixer for about 3 minutes. Stop and add the baking powder. Test the mixture to see if it suits your level of spicy. Add more to taste if you wish!
Spoon into cupcake papers and bake for 15 mins on 180deg C.
I added the Kaitaia fire to the buttercream mix - and used dairy free spread and soy milk instead of regular milk and butter. It turns out so delicious and creamy.
2 tablespoons dairy free spread
a good few dashes of Kaitaia fire to taste
2 tablespoons soy milk
1/3 cup cocoa powder
1 1/2 cups icing sugar.
Beat the spread, Kaitaia fire and milk together with the cocoa, then add the icing sugar. If the mixture is too stiff add small increments of liquid to bring it to the consistency you want. Add more spice if you like!! Its up to you!
Eat and enjoy!!
But WAIT!! There's more!!
Update: Congrats to Miriam from MakeItGiveIt for winning the prize. Your bottle will be on its way shortly!

P.s. There is a new chilli sauce on the market called Hot Samoan Boys. Apparently it's really good, so I'm told.
I`m not a big fun of spicy food, but my husband is)))
Is nice on its own though!
