chocolate cupcakes – Julies Cafe Bakery

Its been a little while since i posted a new recipe so this Moist Easy Chocolate Cupcake Recipe From Scratch with Buttercream Icing is a milestone for me. I have been busy fixing up my websites after having someone hack into them. I was not particularly happy as its taken about a month to fix everything up. So i am now happy to post this new recipe for you. However it has not been without its mishaps. As you can see the buttercream icing was perfectly piped on and then i placed it into a paper bag to transport the cupcake and it fell on its side :( So the icing looks a little squashed. Well it happens to the best of us a guess. Then i went to take the photographs and quite a few were a little blurry. I had just shared the cupcake with a friend over a cup of tea so now have nothing to photograph so hope you don't mind the pictures as they are. Life can be full of ups and downs but coming through those obstacles makes us stronger and wiser. So I am really happy to be food blogging again. The frosting really is quite delicate and you would want to ensure you keep the finished iced cupcakes away from a paper bag :) I can say the taste is really good over a nice cup of coffee or tea. I have just finished off these cupcakes and although a little squashed tasted just fine. The recipe is super simple. its really just a chocolate cake recipe for the base followed by a delicate vanilla frosting with some blue food coloring. Super easy super moist, which is how i like all of my cakes and cupcakes and yummy. In this photograph above I tried to disguise the fact that i had flattened the icing by making a central cut. However there appeared a slight blur which i didn't notice until after i had eaten the cupcakes. yes i do eat all of the cupcakes i put up on this blog :) [amd-yrecipe-recipe:82]
