Ingredients

How to make it

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Combine cocoa and boiling water, whisking until blended. Set aside.
  • Combine flour, SPLENDA® Sugar Blend, baking soda, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Cut butter into flour mixture with a fork or a pastry blender until crumbly. (This procedure may be done with a mixer at the lowest speed. Cover mixing bowl with a clean tea towel to prevent spattering).
  • Combine eggs, milk, cocoa mixture and vanilla in a small mixing bowl; add 1/3 of the egg mixture to flour mixture. Beat at low speed of an electric mixer until blended. Beat at medium speed for 30 seconds or until batter is smooth, stopping to scrape down sides of the bowl. Repeat procedure 2 times.
  • Spoon batter into paper lined muffin tins.
  • Bake 22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Remove from pan; cool completely on a wire rack. Dust with powdered sugar or frost with Rich Chocolate Frosting.

    Nice recipe, Peeta! I love Splenda recipes, mainly because my mom cannot have to much sugar, but she loves sweets and I like to surprise her with things like this.
