Method

Preheat oven to 160°C fan bake.
Line your muffin tray with cupcake cases.
Cupcakes : Cream butter and Chelsea Soft Brown Sugar. Add vanilla and eggs. Sift the flour, baking powder and salt.
Mix milk with the dry ingredients, alternating between them until well combined.
Bake for 17 to 23 minutes. Let the cupcakes cool once baked.
Custard : Heat milk and vanilla in a pot. Mix the yolks, Chelsea Caster Sugar and flours in blow.
Pour a bit of the heated milk into the mixture and whisk. Add more milk until the mixture is quite thin.
Pour back into the pot, heat until thickened.
Spread onto a tray, place in the fridge to cool.
Rhubarb Pieces : Simmer the cubed rhubarb in a pot with water and Chelsea Raw Caster Sugar for 5 to 7 minutes (don't make it mushy!).
Drain juice and save it for rhubarb buttercream filling.
Rhubarb Buttercream Filling : Cream butter, sifted Chelsea Icing Sugar and custard powder. Whisk until light and fluffy.
Add half of this mixture to a new bowl. Add the rhubarb juice (from cooking the rhubarb pieces earlier) to this half of the mixture.
Put the other half in a disposable piping bag with a large star tip nozzle, painted on two sides.
How to assemble: : Core out cupcakes. Fill with rhubarb buttercream.
Pipe on buttercream to cupcakes with a large star tip nozzle & drizzle custard over top.
Place rhubarb pieces on top to finish.
