Milk Chocolate Cupcakes

(Sweet quote: Cupcakes mustn't be cute only, having a delicious base is more important)

Ingredients:

100g Milk chocolate, chopped

225g Softened butter

225g Sugar

215g Self-raising flour

4 tbsp Cocoa powder (good quality)

4 medium Eggs, separate yolks and white

Dash of Vanilla essence

Steps:

- Pre heat oven at 175°C

- Line a muffin pan with the cupcakes paper cases.
- Melt chocolate and butter over a double saucepan. Stir until melted and smooth. Remove and set aside to cool.
- Whisk egg yolks and sugar until pale, thick and light. Stir in the chocolate mix.

- Fold in the flour and cocoa powder
- Whisk egg whites until firm. Fold one third at a time, into the mixture very gently.
- Spoon mixture evenly to fill prepared paper cases with a teaspoon.
- Bake in preheated oven at 175°C for 25 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the centre of the chocolate cupcakes comes out clean.
- Leave the chocolate cupcakes on the cooling tray for about 10-15 min.

- Ready to serve

Optional: Cupcake decorating

- Top with a rich level of chocolate frosting or basic buttercream

- Then sprinkle those colourful pastels of your favourite shape on it. 
- So appealing. 

My family hates too-sugary stuffs, so I skipped the fun icing process just for them :)
