Coming back to the recipe, you may wonder why this cupcake recipe works?

1. Butter milk is the key ingredient, which makes these cupcakes moist.

2. Brown sugar has molasses and makes the cupcakes more moist than regular white sugar.

3. The unsweetened coco powder adds a deep chocolate flavor in the recipe.

Let’s get started with few more details  and scroll down to get the step by step pictures-

Leveling the all purpose flour is extremely important in baking, if there is too much flour the cupcakes will become dense.

For sweetness, we use a combination of white sugar and light brown sugar. Brown sugar provides enough moisture for the cupcakes

And the addition of oil and butter milk, makes for moist chocolate cupcakes.

Mix the wet and dry ingredients until just combined. Do not over mix.

Spoon the batter in a cup cake liner slightly over half way. Not more than that, that will help the cupcakes raise properly and give the right texture.

How to make butter milk at home?

Combine ½ cup of milk with ½ table spoon of lemon juice or vinegar. Set a side for 5 to 10 minutes. You will observe that the milk curdles and becomes slightly thick.  The mixture is ready to be used.

Second option is using  plain yogurt. You can thin the yogurt by adding some milk or water. Whisk the ingredients thoroughly and use it in the recipe. Make sure it’s not a flavored yogurt or sweet yogurt.

Few baking tips to get the perfect cupcakes- 

Always measure and level the flour.

Add the eggs at room temperature.

If the recipe requires butter, milk or buttermilk, leave these ingredients in the counter top for some time. Doing so will bring the ingredients to normal temperature and helps with mixing the batter smooth and no lumps.

Cook at the right temperature and for the right amount of time to get the perfect texture and taste.

Last but not least, good quality products.
