Hello people we are on your 21st
day… yay.. I survived! And hopefully I’ll survive for the next five days as
well. So what do I have for my U post? It’s rather difficult to figure out
something cool and indulgent with a letter called U… so I thought of this uber
cool indulgent cup cake [ I am like crazy about cup cakes]. It’s like an
overdoze chocolate cup cake for all chocolate lovers. Now since I find this
super cool I named it Uber Cup Cakes! That’s all I can think of right now!
There is dark chocolate, cocoa,
chocolate chip and a super chocolate frosting! So it’s all ‘chocolaty’ to the
core.
Now I can’t write a lot now
because I am doing the panna cotta for tomorrow post!
Let’s get into it
All that you need
This recipe makes 6 cup cakes
- All purpose flour – 1 1/3 cup
- Butter – ½ cup softened
- Baking powder – 1 teaspoon
- Eggs – 2 whole
- Sugar – 1 ½ cup
- Cocoa powder – 2 tablespoon
- Salt- a pinch
- Dark chocolate – ½ cup melted
- Chocolate chips – 2-3 tablespoon
For the frosting
- Dark chocolate - ½ cup softened [you could also use white chocolate, will look good in photos, but taste wise it has to be dark chocolate for me]
- Butter – ½ cup
- Confectioners’ sugar – 1/3 cup
Let’s Get started
In a double boiler melt the dark
chocolate.
Visit the Tiny Tip Section for
more information on melting chocolate
In a bowl sift flour, baking
powder, cocoa powder and salt.
Take a tablespoon of flour from
here in a small bowl and mix the chocolate chips in that.
[This will prevent them from
going down within the cake]
In a separate mixing bowl cream
butter and sugar and add the molten chocolate
Combine the flour mix at a time
and mix into the wet ingredients.
Add the chocolate chips and mix
in the batter.
Line a muffin tray with paper
liners.
Scoop out the batter in the
muffin liners and bake them in a pre-heated oven at 180 degrees C for 15-17 minutes.
For the frosting
In a mixing bowl incorporate
butter and sugar till they cream nicely
Add the softened chocolate and
mix till it turns smooth.
Pour it in a piping bag and rest it
for 10 minutes
Please start frosting on the cup
cakes once they have cooled down and not when they are just out from the oven.
SO there you go the Uber Cup Cake
is here to dig in.
