Devil’s Food Cupcakes

My newest entry are chocolate cupcakes with chocolate frosting.Perfect for chocolate lovers. This delicious treat is made of homemade batter and frosting.

The final product

The Explanation

First I make the batter with all purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking soda, salt, granulated sugar, brown sugar, unsalted butter, an egg, vanilla extract, and finally buttermilk. Nothing healthy about that mix.☺️☺️Then I baked at 350 F for about 25 minutes.While it was baking I stated the frosting,which contains powdered sugar, cocoa powder, unsalted butter, vanilla extract, and heavy cream.

How I did It…

The two sugar mix,and butter.

I added them together and mixed in the vanilla extract,once that was all combined I added the buttermilk.Then my batter was completed so I put them into my cupcake tin and then baked them.

The frosting started with powdered sugar and cocoa into a bowl sifted together, and then I added butter,and the vanilla extract,when that was all combined I added the heavy cream, mixed it until it was smooth and spreadable.

Afterwards I started my favorite part: the decorating. I added multi-color sprinkles to the frosting to make them extra delicious.

Pros

Nice looking cupcakes,perfect for birthdays

Same recipe can be used for a cake

Recipe includes frosting

Cons

This recipe calls for the frosting to be sweeter than the cupcake itself

The cupcake is hard to tell when done baking,because it is a moist cupcake

Recipe produced extra frosting that didn’t fit on the amount of cupcakes it produced.

Overall,I think this cupcake could be more improved,but even with the flaws it was still a fun, tasty, and good recipe, that was worth trying.

Thanks for Reading!!!😊😊☺️☺️😋😉

Chocolate Chip Banana Bread🍫🍫🍫

Nov8

My aunt recently gave me an American Girl -Williams -Sonoma baking book. Today I tried my first recipe from it, Chocolate Chip Banana Bread. This recipe consists of the obvious banana and chocolate chips. It also has flour, nutmeg, baking powder and soda, nutmeg, cinnamon, eggs, salt, sugar, sour cream, and vanilla extract. First I stirred the dry ingredients, then in a separate bowl, I stirred the wet ingredients and then mixed them together. The grand finale and the best part, the addition of chocolate chips!! I then baked it for about an hour.Here are some pictures of the process.
