Plain cupcake with chocolate buttercream


This is the easiest yet finger licking cupcakes one can ever make!Again,it was created due to boredom staying at home.Shopping,watching dramas and movies,reading story books and chatting are nothing compared to baking cupcakes!The joy of seeing family and friends who ate these cupcakes has made me realised Y my mom prefer spending her time in kitchen rather than decorating our house.It also tells me Y my chemistry F5 tutor,Mr.Kannan always baked the same chocolate moist cupcakes evrytime we had intensive class.Its the JOY!the JOY of seeing others eating what you made.Sometimes,even if the taste is not up to the par,people still eats them(exclude the smile) because of all your hard work!and thats more than enough to light up your day!.So far,i baked cupcakes because i've got nothing else to do(study doesnt count).But now i have this weird feeling of guilt if i dont bake cupcakes every weekend.I guess,these happen because baking cupcakes has been part of my routine that missing them feels as though as you missed your lecture,your karate practice or brushing your teeth!Well,i think its my responsibility to share the recipe with you guys since i've been talking too much about it.So here how it goes:
For the cupcakes
.125g butter,softened
.125g custar sugar
.2 medium eggs
.125g self raising floor
.2 Tbsp milk
For the frosting
.175g butter,softened
.4 level Tbsp cocoa
.3 Tbsp boiling water
.350g icing sugar
.Few drops of vanilla extract
  1. Preheat the oven to 190 C
  2. Beat together the butter and sugar in abowl until light and fluffy.Add the eggs,flour and milk to the bowl and beat until the mixture is smooth.Divide the mixture between paper cases and bake in the centre of the oven until the cakes have risen and are just firm to the touch in the centre.The standard-size cupcakes will take about 12 to 15 minutes and the mini cakes will take 10 to 12 minutes.
  3. While waiting for the cupcakes to cook,do the frosting by beating the butter in a bowl to soften it.Tip the cocoa into separate bowl,add the boiling water to it and mix it to a paste,then add it to the butter and add the icing sugar and vanilla extract and beat until the icing is very smooth.
  4. Remove the cakes from the oven and transfer them to a wire rack to cool.
  5. Once the cupcakes have cooled,apply the frosting.
