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 and make a pulp out of it.
