Chocolate Cuppie Cakes [Egg-less]

After much hunting for an easy-to-make but yummy eggless cake recipe, I bumped into one and immediately decided to give it a try. I tweaked it a bit to suit my taste and made small portions of it to start with. The result was so good, I plan to make a bigger yummier version soon! :)

Thanks to Divya from Easycooking for sharing this simple recipe :)

Ingredients

All purpose flour-1 cup

Baking powder - 1 tsp

Baking soda - 1 tsp

Cocoa powder - 6 tbsp

Salt - a pinch

Chocolate Chips - 1/4 cup 

Chocolate Sprinklers - 1/4 cup

 Butter - ½ cup (naturally melted at room temperature)

Curd - ¾ cup

Powdered Sugar - ¾ cup

Milk - 1 cup

Instant coffee powder - 1 tsp

Method

• Preheat the microwave to 170C. 
• In a small bowl, mix well together the all purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, cocoa powder and salt. 
• To the the milk, add in the coffee powder and stir well and set aside.
• In another bigger bowl, beat together melted butter, powdered sugar and curd till you get a creamy mass. 
• To this, add in the sifted dry ingredients and the milk-coffee  alternately, continuously stirring well till you get a smooth batter. 
• Pour some batter in the cup cake liner till it is half full. 
• Add in some chocolate chips and then add another layer of batter till the cup cake liners are 3/4th filled. 
• Decorate the top with chocolate sprinklers and bake for 8-10 minutes.
• With the extra batter, I made a mini star shaped cake, for which you would need to line the cake tray with butter first and then once baked turn the cake onto a plate upside down.
• By adding more chocolate chips, you get a nice gooey chocolate center in your cup cakes/cakes. Yummy in the tummy! :)
