today i come to you dressed in my floral apron. why do you ask? i've been going about this idea in my head that i could show you some of my baking. those who know me in real life for sure noticed my sweet tooth and kitchen 'talents', i like to give treats as presents, that sort of thing. i've heard that they are quite good and there are even some people who are willing to pay me to do that... but let's not get ahead of ourselves,
today, for absolutely free, i'll show you my recipe for cocoa cupcakes.
what you'll need
- 40g of cocoa powder (i use m&s brand)
- 100ml of milk
- 2 eggs
- 80ml of sunflower seed oil
- 1 tsp of vanilla extract
- 200g of caster sugar
- 100g of all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp of baking powder
- 1/2 tsp of baking soda
- 12 piece cupcake tin
- cupcake liners
- 2 bowls
and some other stuff
let's get down to business
1. get all the ingredients to room temperature and heat up your oven to 180* C
2. heat up the milk and slowly start adding the cocoa powder, try to not get any lumps because later on it's a pain
3. measure out all of your 'wet' ingredients (eggs, oil, vanilla, sugar) and mix
4. once the cocoa mixture is ready, let it cool down and mix it in
5. measure out the 'dry' stuff (flour, soda, baking powder) and mix
6. add the dry to the wet, use a whisk, easy-peasy
7. liners to the tin! hop! fill'em up! (get a cup with a pourer, trust me)
8. burn babies, burn (or at least rise, 23-25 minutes are perfect, check with a stick)
let cool and enjoy!
or
...
if you want
- 100g of softened butter
- 200g of powdered sugar
- as many sprinkles etc. as you want! or fresh fruit!
beat the butter and sugar until smooth (use a stand mixer or prepare for a long process)
decorate as you want! here are some of mine:
