something new...
with chocolate!
very easy :D
let me share a recipe...chocolate lava cupcakes. rich chocolate cupcakes with a creamy chocolate centre. I've cut down sugar and chocolate cos mummy doesn't like it too sweet. use good quality dark chocolate ( i would recommend carefour dark chocolate, which is quite cheap and of good quality too)
Chocolate lava cupcakes
Chocolate ganache
100ml whipping cream
100g cooking chocolate
1. Boil the whipping cream. Remove from heat
2. Break the chocolate into pieces and stir in it the whipping cream until melted. Leave to cool and refrigerate it until semi-solid
*can actually make as much ganache as desired. This is just about enough for the filling for 12+2 muffins. Just use 1:1 portion of chocolate to whipping cream*
Cupcakes
(A)
250 all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
30 g cocoa powder
½ teaspoon sodium bicarbonate
(B)
10g chocolate emulco
40g brown sugar (I halved the original value=80g)
1 egg
150g cooking/dark chocolate (original value= 250g, I thought it was too much, so I cut 100g off)
180ml fresh milk
(C)
90g melted butter
(D)
Chocolate ganache (as above)
1. Prepare muffin tray ( I used a 12-hole muffin tray and 2 ramekins)
2. sieve (A) into mixing bowl
3. Stir (B) and combine with (A) lightly using a hand whisk. Do not overbeat!
4. add (C) to the batter and mix well
5. Spoon some batter into the tray (half full) add a spoonful of choch ganache and top up with more cupcake batter. Fill it to about ¾ full
6. bake at 180°C for 20 minutes.
7. decorate as desired.
the chocolate ganache
sifted dry ingredients
this is how the batter looks like
had extra batter so i used two ramekins (used for making souffle!) it looks rather nice in it :D
decided to give decorations a pass this time, cos its sweet enough and it was snapped up within minutes after i took it out the oven :Phappy baking!
and Happy Mother's Day :D
