COCOA CUPCAKES/ CUPCAKES KOKO

I found this recipe in joyofbaking.com.and had tried several times with different topping. These cupcakes are one of my favorite cupcake recipes. The cakes are very moist and tender and they are pack with lot of chocolate flavor. The chocolate flavor comes from a large amount of cocoa powder in the cake. For the topping I used white chocolate and strawberry. These cupcakes are best the day they are made, but can be covered and stored for a few days. Perfect for party and HITEA.

Cocoa Cupcakes

Adapted from : - joyofbaking.com

Ingredients:

1/2 cup (50 grams) Dutch-processed cocoa powder

1 cup (240 ml) boiling hot water

1 1/3 cups (175 grams) all purpose flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup (113 grams) unsalted butter, room temperature

1 cup (200 grams) granulated white sugar

2 large eggs

2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly butter, or line 16 muffin cups with paper liners.

In a small bowl stir until smooth the boiling hot water and the cocoa powder. Let cool to room temperature.

In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

Then in the bowl of your electric mixer, or with a hand mixer, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating until smooth. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed. Beat in the vanilla extract. Add the flour mixture and beat only until incorporated. Then add the cooled cocoa mixture and stir until smooth.

Fill each muffin cup about two-thirds full with batter and bake for about 16 - 20 minutes or until risen, springy to the touch

Chocolate cupcakes ini adalah salah satu favourite cupcakes saya, biasanya kalau teringin sangat chocolate cake dan malas hendak buat yang besar kerana takut tak habis saya akan gantikanya dengan cupcake ini. Resipi saya ambil dari joy of baking malah telah beberapa kali membuatnya cuma toppingnya saya ubah-ubahkan. Kali ini saya guna white chocolate dan strawberry. Memang cantik dan sedap., Chocolate dan strawberry memang sinonim sekali. Menariknya cupcake ini ia hanya menggunakan serbuk koko sahaja tetapi rasanya memang cukup chocolaty.
