Made these cupcakes for my bestie on Friendship's day. The recipe was pretty experimental, but my bestie absolutely loved these cupcakes. She's is a damn fine chef herself , so I'd say that they turned out fine ! Give this recipe a shot if you are in a mood to bake from scratch or else you could just use a chocolate cake mix. This is an egg-less-recipe, so I know a lot of my blog-followers will be happy, especially my mom ;) .
Ingredients
For the cupcakes :
1-1/4 cups all purpose flour
1/3 cup melted butter / vegetable oil
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 cup milk at room temp
1/4 cup hot water ( or hot coffee -1 tsp of coffee in ¼cup hot water)
1/4 cup greek yoghurt at room temp
For cream cheese frosting (optional) :
16 oz cream cheese
1/4 cup butter
1-1/4 cup sugar
2 tsp vanilla extract
5-6 oreo cookies for decoration. You could use mini oreos as well.
Directions :
1) Preheat the oven at 350 degrees. Line the cup cake tin with a liner. Place a oreo cookie in the bottom of each liner. (I used silicon cupcake molds, they are fantastic. You don't need to grease them or line them and still the cupcakes pop-out very easily.)
2) In a large mixing bowl sift together all the dry ingredients.
3) Make a well in between and add the wet ingredients one by one. Mix until well combined and smooth. Do no over stir the mixture.
4) Pour the batter in the cupcake mold/tin.
5) Bake for 15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted at the center comes out clean.
The frosting is completely optional, the cupcakes taste great by themselves. However , I never mind extra frosting so I went ahead with it anyway.
For the frosting just beat all the ingredients till smooth. Let the cupcakes cool before you apply the frosting. Decorate with Oreos. Dig, crush, sprinkle, whatever you like .. just be creative :)
