Description:
My friend Arfi is hosting this yummy event, to join the fun click here HomeMadeS: Announcing: Cupcakes Spectacular 2008!

I must admit that I have difficulties choosing which recipe to use & how I'm gonna dress - up my cupcakes for this event (me being the perfectionist .. tehee). Then its down to me today that I should use the recipe that I know by heart, hence I'm sharing my ultimate Chocolate Cupcakes recipe here (honestly, I bake this once a week for the family) then I'm using Chocolate whipped cream that both Ariel & Miguel love as the frosting .. huuurrrraaaayyyyy .. now we are ready !!!!

Ingredients:
Chocolate Cup Cakes :

100 gr unsalted butter, soften
75 gr caster sugar
100 gr self raising flour
2 eggs
2 tbsp cocoa powder
1/2 tsp instant coffee

Directions:
Combine all the ingredients in a large bowl and beat with an electric whisk until smooth (about 2 - 3 minutes)
Spoon the batter into the cases.
Bake for 18 - 20 minutes
Remove tins from the ovens and cool for 5 minutes
Then remove the cupcakes and cool on a wire rack.

*Store without icing in air tight container for up to 2 days.

Chocolate Frosting:
1 tbsp cocoa powder
2 tbsp icing sugar
175 ml whipping cream
1 tsp vanilla essence
1/2 tsp orange essence

To make the frosting:
Sieve the cocoa and icing sugar together into a medium bowl.
Add the cream, vanilla and orange essence.
Beat until soft, but the cream should still hold it's shape.
Spoon over the cupcakes, add crystal sugar if you like.

PS. My daughter will lick-up all the sugar first, then the frosting and eat the cake last .. very predictable *winks*
