Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Rubber spatula
  • Cupcake tray

Ingredients
  

Chocolate cupcake -

  • 2 tbsp yogurt
  • 2 tbsp milk
  • 2 tbsp oil
  • 1/4 tsp vinegar
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 2 tbsp flour
  • 1 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 2 tbsp chocolate chips
  • Pinch of salt

Frosting -

  • 30 gm double cream
  • 30 gm dark chocolate

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 180℃, line a 2 cups of a cupcake tray with cupcake wrappers and set aside.
  • In a small bowl add the oil, sugar and mix together. Add the vanilla, milk, yogurt, vinegar and mix until smooth.
  • Add the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt and chocolate chips. Mix together until combined.
  • Transfer the batter to the lined cupcake tray and bake for 15-17 minutes until the cupcakes are risen and springy to the touch. A tooth pick inserted into the center should come out clean.
  • To make the frosting, heat the double cream until simmering around 30-45 seconds in the microwave and pour over the chocolate chips. Allow the heat of the cream to melt the chocolate for a couple of minutes before stirring together. Season with a pinch of salt and 1 tsp butter, stir together and let it cool completely - as it cools it will get firm.
  • Frost the cupcakes are you like and serve with a glass of milk.

Notes

  • Don’t over mix the chocolate batter once it is smooth.
  • If you are baking 3 smaller cupcakes they would bake in 12-14 mins. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely before frosting.
  • Allow the cupcakes to cool before frosting
