Chocolatey Cup Cakes

Hello friends!

Christmas is around the corner and cakes are the must during this season.

So, I have a chocolatey recipe for you. Try it at your homes :) Merry Christmas in advance!

Ingredients for Cup Cakes -

• Eggs - 3
• Powdered Sugar - 1.5 cups
• Butter - 50 gm
• Flour (maida) - 1 cup
• Baking powder - 1 tsp  
• Oil - 1/2 tsp
• Vanilla Essence - 1-2 tsp
• Hershey's Cocoa powder - 3 to 4 table spoon
• Almonds (crushed/sliced)

Let's follow the steps:

• Boil water in a sauce pan.
• Take a bowl and put butter in it. Keep the bowl on top of the sauce pan.
• Butter will start melting. Add cocoa powder. Keep mixing it, it will turn out just like chocolate sauce.
• Keep the butter mixture aside.
• In another bowl, beat the eggs till its fluffy and airy. (I used grinder to beat eggs as I didn't have much time).
• Add the beaten eggs to the butter+cocoa powder mixture. 
• Simultaneously, add powdered sugar. Keep folding/mixing the ingredients.
• On the other hand, sift flour and baking powder.
• Now, keep adding the flour in portions to the batter.
• Keep folding the batter. You can put some choco-chips or almonds.
• Once the batter is ready, add vanilla essence, 1 tsp oil and fold the batter once again.
• You will get to know the batter is proper when it will be neither very runny nor thick. Ribbons will form when you pour the batter. This is when your batter is perfect. As it's winters, batter gets thick sooner.
• Now take silicon cup cake moulds, grease it with oil and pour the batter into the moulds. Don't pour it till the top, as the cup cakes will rise once baked.
• Preheat the microwave at convection mode for 10 minutes at 180°Celsius.
• Bake the cup cakes at 180°Celsius for 30 to 35 minutes.
• Check the cup cakes by pricking a toothpick in the middle of the cup cake, if it comes out clean then it is done.
• Optional: After 15 minutes of baking, put some sliced almonds on the top of the cup cakes.

So, enjoy chocolatey cup cakes on Christmas Eve and spread joy & happiness!
