Chocolatey, chocolatey cupcakes♥

 Hello my dears!

Warm, flowing light chocolate cupcakes taste the best when you eat them straight from the oven. The rich flavor of chocolate blends gently with the soft texture of the freshly baked dough... I love chocolate and I assume you do too! ^.^
For those who think chocolate is staple food, here is the recipe:

To make 12 adorable chocolate cupcakes, you'll need this:
1.5 cups flour
1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
1/2teaspoon salt
1/2teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1 cup lukewarm water
100g butter
1 cup sugar (you can use a little more sugar, if you like it to taste less bitter and less like coffee)
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1-2 tablespoons instant coffee powder (it's the same as with the sugar ^.^)

Mix it all together, then bake the cupcakes for about 20 minutes on 170°C.


You can eat them straight from the oven when it's still warm, or you can set aside to cool for 30 minutes and then add a delicious frosting.
As the topping I use good old buttercream! ♥ For 12 cupcakes you'll need:
4 cups icing sugar
100g butter
1/4 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Using flash, so you can see that the buttercream is actually white! 



I love buttercream, because it's so creamy and sweet so you just want to fall into a huge bowl of pastel blue buttercream! *____________* Well done, you've just created a completely yummy dozen of cupcakes. Enjoy your meal!

With best regards,
Francine
