Did i tell you, that i was contacted by my neighbour to bake cupcakes for their get together party. and i delivered about 30 of these cupcakes. the host of the party said, everyone liked & told me, many enquired, whether i would take orders from them too!! i also made kaju katli's for my other neighbour and Eggless dates cake for a birthday party! seems everyone liked my bakes and it makes me happy!! 

so this cupcake recipe is tried by me for more than 5 times in a row for this year alone!

makes - 18 muffins

baking time - 20 mins

Ingredients:

1 and 1/4 cup of All purpose flour / maida

1 tsp baking soda

2 tsp baking powder

a tiny pinch of salt

2 Egg's

2 tbsp of milk

1/2 cup of sugar (powdered)

1/2 cup of butter (Butter at room temperature)

1/4 cup of cocoa powder

1/3 cup chocolate chips

for whipped cream frosting:

Whipped cream powder - 50 gm / 1 pack (i used blue bird whipped cream)

Cold ice water - 90 ml

Method:

Pre-heat the oven/OTG to 200C. Line your muffin tray with cup cake liners.

Sieve the flour,baking soda, baking powder, salt and cocoa powder together for atleast two times so that the flour, mixes well with b.soda and b.powder.

In a large glass bowl, beat together the butter and powdered sugar until pale and fluffy. i used my electric mixer and it always takes about 2-3 minutes at medium speed to cream the butter pale and fluffy. Break in the egg's one by one and beating well after adding each egg.

Start adding flour to the bowl in three intervals and use your wooden spoon or spatula to fold in the flour. add milk and chocolate chips and mix everything together. Divide the batter to the lined muffin tray.

Bake for about 20 minutes, until a toothpick inserted to the centre of the muffin comes out clean. once the muffins are done, cool them for about 10 minutes.

To make the whipped cream frosting, In a seperate mixing bowl, beat together the whipped cream powder and the ice cold water(90ml.) for about 3 minutes in high speed with your electric mixer. once the cream is whipped, put the whipped cream in freezer for about 10 minutes before frosting the muffins.

Just spread a spoon of frosting over each muffins sprinkle few chocolate chips on top. it is better to to do frosting just before serving, as the frosting falls/melts down in few minutes for indian climate. or after frosting, refrigerate the muffins till you serve.
