I almost lost hope in baking. But it’s always good to persevere. Despite wasting money for having to throw away ‘baked goods’ which are close to inedible, I decided to give it another try and, voila, I was able to create a (close to) masterpiece – Tsokolate Cupcake.
Over the weekend, I decided to spend more time in the kitchen (apart from preparing @IamMrPies’ dog food) and decided I make good use of my tablea before it expires and sentenced to death by binning. It turned out time well spent as the project turned out successful – one of my few ones in baking. Lesson learned: just follow the recipe to a T.
I have organized the recipe in such a way that you can follow it per batch / step featuring the ingredients for each step.
Makes 9 Cupcakes
Step 1: Pre-heat oven to 180 degrees Celsius
Step 2: Tsokolate Prep
Mix Tablea and Cocoaa Powder in hot water. Let the batter cool and put in fridge.
Step 3: Dairy
Mix these two ingredients and set aside.
Step 4: Dry Goods
Sift all dry ingredients and mix together. Set aside.
Step 5: Cream
Cream butter, sugar and vanilla until light and fluffy. Once done, add eggs one at a time without over mixing.
Step 6: Mix all ingredients
Step 7: Bake
Enjoy! And let me know what you think of the recipe – feedback, suggestions, recommendaitons are welcome!
I said it yesterday on Instagram and I’m saying it again today here: whoever invented Mug Cakes are pure geniuses!
I think my first try was the most successful one. My version of the Nutella Mug Cake.
I was raking my mind on what nice dessert make because a friend is coming over for a ‘slumber’ party. I already knew what to prepare for dinner (Roast Potatoes, Roasted Coca Cola Spare Ribs, Garden Salad) but what to serve for dessert or something sweet was a bit hard to decide on. You see, I’m really not good at baking which I recently found out, and accepted, when I baked G’s birthday cake, so I was leaning towards a no-bake cake, ref cakes or fruit salad! Anyway, my go-to site has always been Pinterest (well, ever since I became a member) so I searched for ‘desserts’ and found a recipe for Mug Cakes! 🙂
