Recipe: Choco-Buttercream Cupcakes


Last Saturday, I had another baking session. This time, with my mum's friend, Tita Grace and her son, Kuya Joseph. It was really fun finding out all those tips and tricks I've never known before. Getting artsy with the design and all, puts me on high. And the sweet scents that float in the air when you mix the batter, and pop a batch into the over are just divine! I'm not a pro, but I just love baking!

CUPCAKE

Ingredients

  • 1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 3 tablespoons butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups white sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup milk


What to Do



  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a muffin pan with paper or foil liners. Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cocoa and salt. Set aside.

  • In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well with each addition, then stir in the vanilla. Add the flour mixture alternately with the milk; beat well. Fill the muffin cups 3/4 full.

  • Bake for 15 to 17 minutes in the preheated oven, or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean. Frost with your favorite frosting when cool.

    BUTTERCREAM FROSTING

  • Ingredients

    Condensed Milk
    Butter
    Shortening

    What to Do

    -We did not go for the complicated frosting, which means...this is an easy one! All you have to do is mix parts of each ingredient with an electric mixer until you get your desired taste and that frothy consistency. 

    -If you wish to add food colouring, do so after the frosting thickens.

    -Refrigerate once in a while when piping.
