Chocolate Cupcakes

Chocolate Cupcakes - This was one of my impromptu attempt to bake something that turned out quite great. It had been long time since I had the frosting in the fridge so thought about baking something to use that one and these cupcakes worked perfectly well with the frosting.

Ingredients

2 Cup Sugar

2 Spoon Vanilla Essence

1 Egg

1/2 Cup Oil

1 Cup Milk

1.75 Cup Maida

1 Cup Coco Powder

1 Spoon Baking Powder

1 Spoon Baking Soda

1/2 Spoon Salt

2 Spoon Instant Coffee

Method

Preheat oven at 325F/160C
Mix together egg, sugar and vanilla essence.
Add in oil and milk and whisk the mixture over medium speed.
Sieve maida, coco powder, baking powder and baking soda couple of times to form homogeneous mixture.
Add the sieved contents and salt in the egg-oil-milk mixture and whisk on low speed till well combined about 2 minutes
Warm 1 cup of water with coffee in microwave for about a minute.
Add the coffee to the cake mixture and whisk on low speed for another 2 minutes.
Line around the cupcake pan with around 14 cup cake liners and fill them with the cake mixture about 3/4th level in each.
Bake in the oven for 18 minutes.
Allow the cakes to cool off for at least an hour and then serve with frosting and optionally filling

Notes

I didn't use the filling but chocolate ganache would be great option.

I used chocolate butter cream that I have made previously to frost another cake as the frosting and it went well.
