A Must Try Chocolate Cupcakes

I first saw this beautiful chocolate cupcakes at Quinn's Baking Diary (Thank you Quinn). Tried this easy recipe two days ago and it was all gone on the next day! I called this "A Must Try Chocolate Cupcakes" is because the cupcakes texture were perfect, really light and not too sweet.

Ingredients: Makes 18 cupcakes
100g Butter, softened
200g Sugar
2 Eggs

1/2 cup milk (125ml)
1 tsp Baking soda
1/2 cup Boiling water (with 1 tsp Nescafe Classic Instant Coffee powder)

1/4 tsp Salt
3 tsp Baking powder
40g Cocoa powder

Method:
  • Sift flour, salt, baking powder and cocoa powder in bowl. Dissolve baking soda in milk.
  • Cream butter and sugar until light. Add essence and eggs, continue beating.
  • Add in the rest of the ingredients (milk, coffee liquid and flour ingredients), beat till smooth.
  • Spoon batter into greased paper cases to 3/4 full.
  • Bake in a preheated oven at 160C for about 20 mins or until skewer inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
  • Leave to cool on rack before icing.
  • Ice with whatever type of icing you prefer or dust lightly with icing sugar.
  • I think the best time to consume the cupcakes are to chill first.
