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.

Pansache Dhonas/ Jackfruit Cake

It's the season of jackfruit and you get to see lots of them in Kerala now. Last week, when I went home for a day, I brought back some jackfruits as my son loves them...... After everybody had their share, I had little left in the fridge and so decided to bake this Goan cake - Pansache Dhonas, which I had penned down from Raksha's Kitchen some months back. I would say this cake is definitely a healthy one as it uses no maida, sugar or butter.... The cake tasted quite different from the normal ones and it was indeed yummy! Ingredients: Recipe Source: Raksha's Kitchen Jackfruit pulp - 2 cups Grated coconut - 1 cup Salt - 1/2 tsp Rava - 1 cup Jaggery - 1 cup Cardamom powder - 2 tsps Cashewnuts, chopped - 10 Almonds, chopped - 5-10 Raisins - 10 Method: Roast rava till it is light brown or till the aroma wafts into the air. Keep aside. Let it cool for at least 20 mins. Remove the jackfruit seeds and put them into a mixer ...

Happy B'day to JJ....

Yes! It's that month when I have two most important people celebrating their birthdays on two consecutive days...I have my better-half celebrating his birthday today..... And this is the first time I am actually doing something on his birthday since I usually concentrated more on the next one..... So, I wanted to make him something special this year, (not the usual cake) and I landed upon one of the most creamylicious , yummylicious dessert-The Tiramisu-one of his favorite too!!!  Now, I have made a Tiramisu and a Tiramisu Cake some time back with sponge cakes but this is the first with Savoiardi...... Moreover, I needed a twist in the dessert, something different from the usual!! And so, I decided to make the Irish Cream Tiramisu by Nigella (one of my favorite baker) ..... Nigella has never failed me when it comes to baking...... I tried her Devil's Food Cake last year (same day) and it was simply superb! Irish Cream Tiramisu Ingredients: Recipe S...

Julekake- A Norwegian Cardamom Scented Christmas Bread

We Knead To Bake!  is a bread baking group on FB, hosted by  Aparna Balasubramanian  of My Diverse Kitchen . Though I had joined this group couple of months back, I haven't baked anything to date except for pizzas. Now, baking bread is not a child's play. So, I waited until I get to bake something easy. And this month's recipe proved to be the right one to bake for an amateur like me!! Julekake (or Julekaka/ Julekaga) is a rich holiday bread flavoured with cardamom which is traditionally served at Christmas in many Scandinavian countries. It is particularly popular in Norway and Denmark. Incidentally, Julekake means “Yule Bread” in Norwegian.  This bread is more cake-like in texture and sometimes it is dusted with powdered sugar or glazed with a white sugar icing. If it is not glazed or left plain, then it is usually served warm at breakfast with butter or a goat milk cheese called geitost/ brunost.  In Norway, Julekake traditionally only a...
