Warm molten-centered Chocolate cupcakes

Hi buddies.....I am back! So, how are you enjoying your kids vacation???Me and my kids had a wonderful time back at home...We had actually planned for a 2weeks hols, but it extended to a month....The best part of the hols was the unexpected wedding of my cousin sister.....So it was shopping, shopping and more shopping.....*phew*.....I had to shop for 3 functions- for the fixing, the engagement and the marriage!!And choosing sarees and jewels for the bride was quite tough; she was totally confused and seemed to like everything the salesman showed her.....*smiles*.....

Tales apart....back to the present...My son was persuading me to bake a cake for him ever since we came down from our hols!!But I was in no mood to bake anything....Finally, yesterday I baked these cupcakes for my kids.....


Found this cupcake recipe from one of my books. I even found a similar recipe but with a different title in another book. However, both the recipes yielded the same cupcake though!

Ingredients:
Recipe Source: Chocolate by Parragon Books

Margarine/Butter (softened) - 4 tbsp
Superfine sugar - 1/4 cup
Large egg - 1
Self-rising flour - 1/2 cup
Unsweetened cocoa - 1 tbsp
Semisweet chocolate - 55 gms
Confectioner's sugar - for dusting

Method:
  • Preheat the oven to 190 C. Put paper baking cases in a muffin pan.
  • Put the butter, sugar, egg, flour and cocoa in a large bowl and using a handheld electric mixer, beat together until just smooth.
  • Spoon half of the batter into the paper cases. Using a teaspoon, make an indentation in the center of each cake. Break the chocolate evenly into squares and place a piece in each indentation, then spoon the remaining cake batter on top.
  • Bake the cupcakes in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until well risen and springy to touch. Leave the cupcakes in the oven for 2-3 minutes before serving warm, dusted with sifted confectioner's sugar.

Cream Cheese Pound Cake

This Oven Cold Cream Cheese Pound Cake was  Bake Along #11 . And this had a speciality too!! You needn't preheat your oven like you do when baking normally. Just cream and mix the ingredients and pop it into your oven....simple!  A pound cake is a type of cake traditionally baked with a pound of four main ingredients: flour, butter, eggs and sugar. You could add different flavours or dried fruits for a variation. In this pound cake, I added cream cheese too and guess what I got-- an utterly delicious and yummy yummy cake!!

Caramel Cake

This time, I am deeply smitten with the vacation bug, and I still haven't recovered from it yet. A trip to The Capital was the main highlight of this year's vacation and we especially my kids thoroughly enjoyed it. It was their many firsts--first looong trip in the train (48 hrs), first trip to the North, first long trip with their grandparents and so on.....So you could imagine their excitement!! Meanwhile, many special days like the Mother's day and Father's Day have come and gone, but I was never in a mood to at least make an effort to bake something for those special days.....Anyways, let me hope this Caramel Cake would compensate for all those lazy bygone days..... Once again, when I have to make a come back, I normally depend on the Fondbites, Bake Along Recipes and this time too, didn't alter that routine!! No more blabbing, off to the recipe for the Caramel Cake (Fondbites, Bake Along # 18). Ingredients: For the Cake Unsalted butt...
