I love capturing photos of plants, food and non-living things because I always believe, although they are not human, but they do have their own expression and emotion yet to be read and appreciated.

Chocolate Cupcake

In my previous post I was saying I need to stop baking for a while, but not now, because my dearest friend, Kitman, has just came back from US for holiday, and I have promised her I will do something (usually she only can get to see what I baked in my blog but can't taste them)...
My mom has just bought a recipe book by Alex Goh, hahaha... (why laugh, because my friend has the exactly the same name). This Alex Goh according to my mom, his is very good in baking... cake, bread, biscuit... everything related to baking la. So, when I flipped through, the easiest recipe is this chocolate cupcake...
First of all, it's Merdeka day, I can't get the ingredient from shop, so, I can only utilize whatever I have in my house... and this recipe is perfect, I have all the ingredient I need.

Ingredient A:
200g Margarine (I do not have enough margarine, I mixed with butter as alternative)
250g Sugar

Ingredinet B:
270g Plain flour
30g Cocoa powder (I do not have enough also, I mixed with coffee powder as alternative)
1.5 tsp Baking powder
0.5 tsp Baking soda

Ingredient C:
0.5 tsp coffee paste
4 eggs
180g milk (I use 30g colostrum milk powder mix with 150g water)

Methods:
1. Cream ingredients A until well-blended. Add in Ingredient B, cream until well-combined.
2. Add in Ingredient C slowly, cream until light and smooth.
3. Grease the cupcake mould and sprinkle it with some almond flakes (I use sunflower seed instead). Pour the mixture into the prepared cupcake mould.
4. Bake at 180C for 30 minutes. (I baked for only about 20 minutes because I used smaller mould).


Colour is very nice, smell nice and taste good
(The smaller one taste a little bit dry due to over bake, the big one was just nice)

hey, I really think this recipe is good... strongly recommend to all...
