Chocolate Cupcake Recipe
Ingredients
- >>Cupcake:
- 1 1/3 cups all purpose flour sifted
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1 cup hot water
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar sifted
- 2 pieces raw eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla essence
- >>Frosting:
- 2/3 cup unsalted butter
- 1 1/3 cups confectioners sugar sifted
- 4 ounces unsweetened chocolate
- 1 1/2 tsp vanilla essence
Instructions
- Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a mixing bowl and whisk thoroughly until the ingredients are evenly distributed. Set aside.
- Put the cocoa powder in the bowl where the hot water is and stir until the cocoa powder is diluted. Set aside.
- Combine the butter and sugar in a separate mixing bowl then cream (electric mixer is needed) until texture become fluffy
- Add the eggs while mixing continuously then put-in the vanilla essence.
- Put in half of the flour-baking powder-salt mixture then mix well.
- Add the other half of the flour-baking powder-salt mixture then continue mixing until all the ingredients are well distributed.
- Pour the cocoa mixture and continue mixing until texture becomes smooth.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit
- Fill the cupcake pan with cupcake paper cups.
- Put the batter in each paper cup then bake for 18 minutes (insert toothpick in the cupcakes, if it comes out clean then the cupcakes are done).
- Remove the cupcake from the oven and allow to cool down over a wire rack.
- Melt the chocolate by placing it in a bowl over boiling water.
- Once melted, set aside and allow to cool down to room temperature
- Put the butter in a mixing bowl then cream (use electric mixer)
- Add the sugar and continue mixing until the texture becomes fluffy.
- Put-in the vanilla essence and chocolate then mix thoroughly until texture becomes smooth.
- Place the frosting over the cupcakes. (I use a pipe so that the frosting can easily be swirled. If you don't have any tools, you may use a spoon or spatula to spread the frosting.
- Serve with a smile. Share and enjoy!
