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. 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. Amelia Simmons is credited with inventing the cupcake. 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 what is now considered the first American cookbook.

The original recipe has everything in tblspn measurements, but i somehow managed to change it into cup measurements. I decorated it with some chocolate ganache which was leftover from my dark chocolate cake and topped it with sprinkles..Will soon share the rich dark chocolate cake which i made..
Ingredients for Dark Fantasy Cupcakes Recipe :
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. Cocoa powder is also used in the beverage industry, for example, to make chocolate milk.
All Purpose Flour:
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.
Chocolate Ganache :
Ganache is a rich, creamy chocolate filling made of chocolate and cream that is used in confections such as truffle filling, whereas chocolate is a food made from ground roasted cocoa beans. Traditionally, ganache is made by heating equal parts cream and chopped chocolate, warming the cream first and then pouring it over
the chocolate. The mixture is then typically allowed to rest for a short period of time (between 3 and 10 minutes depending on volume) before being stirred or blended until smooth, with liqueurs or extracts added if desired.

Hi Arthi
Can I add egg to this recipe?? and How about butter instead of oil???
Aarthi
@Nalini Hadli1/3 cup if less than 1/2 cup. If you take 1 cup measure, you have to divide it into three parts and in that 1 part is that measure. Hope it clears now
Aarthi

Aarthi
@AnonymousHai i dont eat much cakes and sweets except chocolates. So i giveaway most of them to my friends, family and neighbours. I keep some in my house.
Aarthi
@Anonymousno oil is what gives the soft texture, so i strongly suggest you to use oil
Aarthi
@NeshiniYou dont have to use egg in this..this is such a moist fluffy cake without egg and oil gives you the proper texture

Hyy Aarthi, I am very fond of your blog.. have tried some of your recipes and the dishes turn out pretty good! Thank you for all the generous information..
I just tried these cupcakes, but unfortunately they din turn out well...
Firstly my batter was more runny unlike yours...
Then thy rose well, but at the end, the center sunk in and remained uncooked...
I place the tray in the center rack and bake with lower heat...
Where could i have gone wrong.. please help!

Hi,
I made this for my grand niece and she gobbled up 4 in a day. Taste also is very good and it's soft and moist. I find that the oil comes out after a few hours.. is that how it was? I didn't put the ganache as I wanted to avoid that .
