So this is dorkrockcakerod.  It’s the perfect nerdy cupcake.  It’s a little bit bitter, only buys oop coloured vinyl and really, REALLY wants to be your boyfriend, but is totally happy to settle for being your friend, you know, until you work out your issues with your ex.

Magic ingredients are coffee and cocoa nibs.  Since moving to Brighton I’ve yet to find somewhere that sells cocoa nibs, which upsets me a little.  They’re basically the husks of the cocoa bean (I think), so you get the most amazing bitter crunchyness, which I think is the perfect surprise for a cupcake that probably has a lot of strange secrets.  It’s a good excuse to look in every food shop I can.  I’ll keep looking, and when I find them I’ll let you know how Imade these little geezers.  Because they’re just awesome.
