yue's cupcake |
I was browsing blogs for ideas on making homemade puree for my sweet lil princess, Hana..yes, she's yet to reach 6 months, but I already has given her solids..only pureed fruits added into breastmilk (I fully breastfed her btw), and make it very very fine and watery..this is because about 2-3 weeks ago she became increasingly hungry, until at 1 point, I can't ever latch her off from me..she sucked me dry nearly 20 hours/day..sigh..
Hence, my sis in law introduced me with a webbie on making homemade cerelac..and it turns out she also has many other recipes..i loved how simple they are..hence, she made this yummy looking raspberry cupcakes for her kid, so I myself salivated...I did not know where this cravings come from..sigh..
So, since no raspberries, no butter, it becomes no filling, no crumble haha
Hence, this is the recipe with a lil modification;
The original recipe is here
yield = 6 standard sized cupcakes (with a lil leftovers)
(can easily get more if add the raspberries I think..and go easy on the batter, since it will rise well)
Ingredients
1.5 c all purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
3/4 c fine sugar
1/2 tsp salt
*1/3 vegetable oil
*1/3 whole milk
*1 nos egg
few tablet discs cooking chocolate (this one I used beryls, its coin shaped)
1 tsp cocoa powder (I used vanhouten)
Methodology
1. Preheat oven at 200C
2. Sieve the flour and baking powder togather
3. Mix vege oil, milk and egg in a 1cup measurement, if did not reach the said level, add a bit more milk.
4. Add bit by bit of the liquid mixture into the flour+baking powder combo and mix well.
5. Add the fine sugar and salt and mix well. Lastly I add a bit of cocoa powder and mix it sparingly..love the mixture of colours huhu

6. Fill in a cupcake mold halfway, add the cooking chocolate discs, then add a lil more till 3/4 full
7. bake for 20 mins or so and its ready!
Time for a verdict! (I am typing this while waiting for the cupcakes in the oven)
done! |
...............
The surface is pleasantly crunchy, and the insides are soft..very well done..the choc discs melted and becomes the filling..I think next time I would've add more to make it more chocolatey..and its not that sweet to my tongue.. (well maybe because I was eating chocolate before haha)..however, the color swirls from the cocoa powder didn't show (shrug)..all in all, its a good balanced cupcake..easy! 5 mins preparation, 20 mins baking time!
Thumbs up!
