- 0.333 cup sugar
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 4 ½ ozs Milk chocolate
- ½ cup milk
- ⅔ cup Dried Plum (pitted)

Preparation steps
1.
Chop the plums, then mix with the apple juice and let soak. Separate the egg. Beat the egg yolk, butter, 1 1/2 oz (40 g) sugar, salt and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Break the chocolate into pieces and melt in a bowl over a pan of hot water. Stir into the egg mix, then slowly add the milk and the plums. Add the flour and the baking powder. Whisk the egg white with the remaining sugar until stiff and fold into the cake batter.
2.
Place the baking cups into the cupcake tin and pour in the cake batter, just about filling each cup. Bake in a pre-heated oven at 350°F (180°C) for about 25 minutes. Let cool in the cupcake tin for 5 minutes, then remove and place on a wire rack to cool completely.
3.
Melt the cooking chocolate. Drizzle a little chocolate over the cupcakes and decorate with a chocolate lentil.
