It looks like I just started blogging, but here I am posting my 200th recipe
. Yesss I cannot believe it myself . Thank u all for your wonderful support!!! To celebrate this occasion here u go with a soft and moist Banana Chocolate Cupcake with whipped cream frosting. I had posted a traditional Palkova recipe as my 100th post, so this time thought of making a cupcake as a treat!!Now to the recipe…
[Preparation Time-15 mins : Cooking Time- 18 to 20 mins ]
Recipe Source : Joy of Baking
Ingredients:
For the Cupcakes:
Dry Ingredients:
- Maida/All purpose flour – 1 cup
- Sugar – 1 cup
- Cocoa Powder – 1/3 cup
- Baking Powder – 3/4 tsp
- Baking Soda – 3/4 tsp
- Salt – 1/4 tsp
Wet Ingredients:
- Egg – 1
- Banana – 1
- Warm Water – 1/2 cup
- Milk – 1/4 cup
- Oil – 1/4 cup
- Vanilla extract – 1 tsp
For the Frosting:
- Whipping Cream – 1 cup
- Sugar – 1/2 cup (see tips)
Method:
- Take a bowl and mash the banana. Add the egg and rest of the wet ingredients – Warm water, milk, vanilla extract and oil.
- Mix well and keep it aside. Take all the dry ingredients – Flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a wide bowl. Mix well.
- Now add the wet ingredients. Mix just to incorporate well. Make sure there are no lumps. Meanwhile pre-heat your oven to 180 deg Celsius. Line a muffin tray with muffin liners and pour the cupcake batter upto 3/4th in each hole. Bake it for 18-20 mins or until an inserted tooth pick comes out clean.
- While the Banana Chocolate Cupcake is baking, lets make the whipped cream frosting. Take whipping cream and sugar in a wide bowl. Beat it with an electric mixer until soft peaks. Continue to beat further until stiff peaks – as shown in pics 2 & 3.
- Once the cupcakes are baked, let them cool on a wire rack. Once cooled completely, top the cupcakes with whipped cream by using a disposable piping bag.
Banana Chocolate Cupcake with whipped cream is ready.
Enjoy this soft and moist cupcakes.
Tips:
- The warm water and milk give a super-moist texture to the Banana Chocolate Cupcake. At 1st I was skeptical to use water but trust me, that is the highlight of this recipe.
- U can skip egg and replace it by 2 tbsp of yogurt for an eggless version.
- For the frosting, adjust sugar according to your taste buds. U can taste the cream in between and add accordingly. The above measurements resulted in moderate sweetness.
- U can skip the vanilla extract and add a pinch of cinnamon powder for a different flavour.
- An over-ripe banana is perfect for this recipe.
- The above measurements yields 12 Banana Chocolate Cupcakes.
