CUPCAKES

Ingredients:

2 cups/240g cake flour 

1 teaspoon baking powder

2 teaspoons baking soda

¾ cup/90g cocoa powder

1 tsp salt

2 cups sugar/400g ( reduced to 300g)

1 cup/240ml hot coffee (1 teaspoon coffee granules eg nescafe + 240ml of hot water)

1 cup/240ml canola oil

1 cup buttermilk/240ml (I use vinegar 1 tbsp + full cream milk)

2 eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla

Method:

Preheat oven to 165°

In a large bowl whisk together dry ingredients.

Add coffee, oil and buttermilk and mix until combined.

Add eggs and vanilla and mix for another 2 minutes.

Pour batter into two greased and floured 9-inch round baking pans.

Bake for 30 minutes.

Let cool in pans until warm and then remove from pans and allow to cool completely on a cooling rack.

WHIPPED CREAM CHEESE FROSTING

Ingredients:
240ml Rich Bettercreme (Non-dairy Whipped Topping)
70g Cream Cheese, softened
1/4 cup Icing Sugar
A few drops of Vanilla Extract

Method:
Combine cream cheese, vanilla and icing sugar together until smooth.
In a separate bowl, I whip the cream until thick, add the cream cheese mixture and continue to whip until stiff. Can be used immediately to pipe over cupcakes or layer and frost cakes.

Note: This frosting last for long hours at room temperature and doesn't melt.

EASY DARK CHOCOLATE GANACHE

Ingredients:

200g Dark Chocolate Compound (coins/droplets)
170g can of Nestlé Cream, room temperature.

Method:

Melt chocolate in the microwave for 1 minute. Remove from microwave and stir in the cream straight out of the can. Stir until well combined. No whipping needed. Then leave to set for 1 - 2 hours on the counter. Alternatively, if in a rush, pop it in the fridge and stir every 15 mins until achieve piping consistency. Ready to use to use as filling or to frost cakes or cupcakes.

Recipe from Munira:

GLAZED VANILLA CUPCAKES

Ingredients:

135g Self-raising Flour
80g Cake Flour
160g Caster Sugar
115g Cold Butter, cubed
2 Large Eggs
120g Fresh Milk
1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract

Method: (Exactly how I would do it)

1. Preheat your oven to 180°C. And line 16 muffin pan.

2. Place your mixing bowl on your weighing machine. Measure out your self-raising, cake flour and sugar.

3. Use your hand mixer (not turned on) to just get the ingredients mixed. Then chop some butter and place it in a bowl over the scale and measure out the right amount.

4. Then on your hand mixer and blend the ingredients until you get a crumbly sand-like texture.

5. Next, add your eggs and continue to mix until it becomes thick.

6. Finally, place your bowl back on the scale and measure out your milk and add your vanilla. Continue to beat until you reach a smooth texture. Stop immediately when it's smooth.

7. Scoop into your paper liners and bake for 20 minutes.
