10 Minute Chocolate Cake.

The best thing ever if you feel like having a quick fix. I cannot stress more on how easy this recipe is. The texture is in between spongy and fudgy with melted chocolate in the middle. 

Ingredients

4 tbsp flour
4 tbsp cocoa powder or Milo
4 tbsp sugar
1 egg
3 tbsp milk
3 tbsp melted butter
1/3 cup chocolate buttons (optional)

Method

Brush the inside on a ramekins (or microwave-able mug). Mix everything except for chocolate buttons in a bowl using a fork, mix well. Pour the batter half way up the ramekins, fill it with generous amount of chocolate buttons and top it off with the batter until it reaches just below the top of the ramekins. Microwave it on high for 3 minutes. Let cool, transfer it onto a plate. If you want, dust it with icing sugar, serve it with jam of your choice or with vanilla ice cream.

Note: You can keep the cake in the fridge up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave on high for 1.5 minutes.

Brownie Cupcake With Peanut Butter Frosting.

I was in the mood to bake and I want to eat chocolate and peanut butter. So I made this. No story behind it, not sure what triggered the craving too. Maybe Resse’s Peanut Butter Cups. Very dense and chocolaty with a hint of saltiness from the peanut butterjust the way I like it.

Ingredients

Brownie

1/3 cup butter
1 1/4 cup semisweet chocolate buttons
85 g unsweetened chocolate, chopped
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup caster sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla essence
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp salt

Frosting

1 1/2 cup icing sugar
250 g cream cheese, room temperature
1/2 cup butter, room temperature
1 cup smooth peanut butter, room temperature
1/2 chopped salted peanuts, optional

Method

Preheat oven to 175 degree Celsius. Line 10 medium size cupcake tin with cupcake liners. Sieve flour, set aside. Combine butter, 1/2 cup chocolate buttons and unsweetened chocolate in a heat-proof bowl set over a pot of simmering water (or double boiler if you have one). Stir until mixture melts smoothly. 

Remove from heat, transfer it onto a large mixing bowl. Whisk in brown and caster sugar into the mixture, then whisk in 1 egg at a time while whisking. Mix vanilla essence, flour, salt and remaining chocolate buttons.

Divide batter among prepared cupcake cups. Fill about 3/4 of the cup. Bake cupcakes about 30 minutes or until the toothpick inserted come out with moist crumbs attached. Transfer cupcakes onto rack and let cool completely.

To make the frosting, whisk all the ingredients except chopped peanuts using an electric mixer. You can either use a frosting bag to create effects or just slather it on with a spoon or knife and smooth the edges. Drizzle chopped peanuts onto cupcakes.

I go crazy over cupcake cups collection.
