Chocolate Cupcakes Recipe

As i promised i am delivering you the basic chocolate cupcakes using eggs recipe. This is one of the best, moist and soft chocolate cupcakes you ever taste. It has a real chocolate flavour and so moist. I made this for my sister to take it to her college mates. And i heard that they loved it.

About this Recipe

A cupcake is a small cake that serves one person and is baked in a small thin paper or aluminium cup. Frosting and other cake decorations, such as fruit and candy, may be used, as with larger cakes.

What is the history behind cupcakes?

While cake has been around in some form or another since ancient times, cupcakes first appeared in America. The first reference to a cake to be baked in small cups; rather than as a layer cake, is thought to have appeared in Amelia Simmons; American Cookery in 1796.

Who invented chocolate cupcakes?

The cupcake was invented by Amelia Simmons. And, as if that wasn't enough for the history books, when she first published her cookbook in 1796, she established herself as the author of the first American cookbook.

I wanted to make this cupcakes special so i made vanilla and chocolate buttercream and piped it as swirled pattern and it really looked pretty. Perfect for any special event.

Ingredients for Chocolate Cupcakes

All Purpose Flour / Maida :
Maida requires more oil or butter when baking or cooking because it is lighter and rises faster, which is why bakers prefer maida to atta. All-purpose flour can be used for a variety of tasks, including baking, cooking, coating meats and vegetables, and thickening sauces and gravies. To manufacture all-purpose flour, a blend of
hard wheat (which has more gluten) and soft wheat is crushed together.

Baking Powder
Baking powder is used to increase the volume of baked goods and lighten their texture. It works by releasing carbon dioxide gas into a batter or dough via an acid–base reaction, which causes bubbles in the wet mixture to expand and thus leaven the mixture.

Cocoa Powder :
Cocoa powder is primarily used as a flavouring agent in baked goods such as cookies, ice cream, dairy drinks, and cakes. Aside from flavouring, it is also used in the production of coatings for confectioners or frozen desserts.

All Purpose Flour / Maida - ¾ cup / 90 grams
Cocoa Powder - ½ cup / 50 grams
Baking Soda / Cooking Soda - ½ tsp
Baking Powder - ¾ tsp
Eggs - 2
Sugar - 1 cup / 200 grams
Oil - ⅓ cup / 80 ml
Vanilla Essence - 2 tsp
Buttermilk - ½ cup (see below
Vanilla Buttercream - ¼ batch (recipe here)
Chocolate Buttercream - ½ batch (recipe here)

You can decorate the cupcakes with any frosting as you like. Here are few ideas.

The cupcakes turned out to be super yummy and so light. I tried the chocolate buttercream frosting, but when I tried to pipe it into the cupcakes, it fell flat without the design. As though I had spread it with a spoon. Kindly advise where I could have gone wrong. The frosting was tasty .
