Who doesn’t really like moist chocolate cupcakes? Yes, no one ever said no to them! Here’s one basic moist chocolate cupcake recipe that is super simple and super yum.
2020 has made me work so much in the kitchen that I feel tired all the time. I have not gotten the time to click good photos in last few months and that’s why my absence from this blog.
I have made tons of food since March but hardly updated here. But I hope I can do a few this December.
The son has turned out to be a food video lover and is always watching either “5 Minutes craft” or some food videos! Two days back, my son said “mamma, I saw a recipe of chocolate cupcake, I’ll tell you how to make, you have to follow my instructions!”
So here is the result. And he was super happy with his instructions and reading skills! I was not allowed anywhere near the iPad, so I couldn’t check which channel he was watching!
This moist chocolate cupcake recipe has a few unique features and I was a little skeptical about them – it uses water in the batter! This is the first time I have baked a cake with water in the batter!
I usually add 2-3 eggs in my cakes whereas here it was only 1 egg! So if you are an eggless cake person – just add buttermilk instead of egg and you are good to go.
I have made so many cupcakes and muffins earlier like the Strawberry Centre Filled Cupcake or the Chocolate Chip Muffins but never have I used water in baking! SO this was something new for me.
Anyway, let me tell you how to make it.
Super Moist Chocolate Cupcake Recipe
I loved doing this recipe because it is so easy and hassle free. You don’t need a ton of things, all ingredients are easily available in the kitchen. There’s no mixing wet ingredient and dry ingredient mixing separately. And there is no creaming butter and sugar!!! Yes that takes up time in any baking recipe!
So it is basically a less effort easy chocolate cupcake recipe! I have used only a wire whisk and a spatula, no need for stand or electric mixer too!
Pro Tip: I did use my blender jar to whisk all the wet ingredients together for 10 seconds to make the process even easier and quicker. You can do that too.
All you gotta do is get all the ingredients in a mixing bowl, pour in the wet ingredients, mix and let it rest for 10 minutes.
These 10 minutes of resting time will make the magic happen. The recipe uses vinegar and baking soda. These two together does wonderful magic – but you need to give them those 10 minutes to create that magic!!
Frosting
You can enjoy this with frosting or just as it is. We were too eager to see how they turned out and gobble them up and no one could wait for frosting! Sometimes I prefer these just like these!
You can make buttercream frosting or just add some whipped cream.
Pre-heat oven at 180C/ 365F In a Mixing bowl sift through the flour, cocoa powder and baking soda Mix them well. Add in salt and coffee powder and mix them together. Wet Ingredients: Pour it into the dry ingredients bowl and add vinegar. Mix with a spatula so that the batter is combined. Let it rest for 10 mins while you line a cupcake tray with liners. Pour in the batter using a measuring spoon. Bake it at 180C / 365F for 18-20 mins. Serve it when it comes down to room temperature If you are adding frosting on the cupcakes, allow them to cool down completely before you start frosting.
You can also enjoy the cupcakes with some warm vanilla custard!
