These chocolate cupcakes are a dedication to all chocolate lovers. The cupcakes are soo moist and light. The texture, the appearance and the taste of the cupcake is absolutely divine. They are really easy to make and quite addictive too. Trust me, you can't eat just one. The original recipe is of a Chocolate Cake. Once, I had leftover batter and tried making these cupcakes with them. And since then, I haven't tried it any other way. I prefer not to change anything even with it's simple appearance.
Ingredients:-
- 1 cup levelled all purpose flour (maida)
- 1 cup sugar (powdered)
- ½ cup milk
- ½ cup boiling water
- ¼ cup refined oil
- ⅓ cup cocoa powder
- 1 tsp vanilla essence
- ¾ tsp baking powder
- ¾ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 egg
Method:-
- Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius.
- Line cupcake moulds with paper liners.
- Sieve together maida, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl.
- Add powdered sugar to this and mix well.
- Add egg, milk, oil and vanilla essence.
- Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes.
- Now add boiling water and stir well.
- The batter will be thin.
- Pour the batter in the cupcake moulds till ¾ full.
- Bake at 180 degrees Celcius for 30-35 minutes or until done.
- Cool completely on a wire rack.
Notes:-
- If you like your cupcake to be more sweet, you can add 1½ cup sugar instead of 1 cup.
- For simple icing:- double boil 100 grams milk chocolate with ¼ cup butter. Cool and use.
- If you are icing the cupcake, do not increase sugar.
- For the eggless version, just add ½ cup buttermilk instead of egg
Happy Cooking!!
