At last I am back for Blogging Marathon!! This month is the silver jubilee for Blogging marathon. It has successfully crossed 24 months and has enters its 25th month. I am proud to say that even though I have missed a few months, I have been participating in BM from the start. To celebrate the 25th edition, i made eggless Devil’s Food Cupcakes with chocolate frosting. This weeks theme I have chosen is baking with whole grains. When I searched for whole grains I came up with a long list of it in wikki. Rice, wheat, oats, Broken wheat, quinao all come under whole grains. So for the first day, I used whole wheat flour for the cup cakes.The result was mind blowing. So moist, so soft and spongy, the cup cakes won my daughter’s heart. While I was frosting the cakes, my daughter couldn’t wait. Even I had a tough time staying away from these beautiful cakes. The frosting was thin while mixing but once cooled it came to the correct consistency and when left to set it became firm.
Makes 16 cup cakes
Ingredients:
Butter-1/4+1/8 cup
Brown Sugar-1/2 cup
Granulated Sugar-1/4 + 1/8 cup
Flour-1/2 cup
Whole Wheat Flour-1 cup

Baking Soda-3/4 tsp
Vanilla Essence-1 tsp
Instant Coffee Powder-1 tsp
Milk-1 cup
Yogurt-1 cup
For The Frosting:
Icing Sugar-1 cup
Milk-2-3 tbs

1. Preheat oven to 175C. Line muffin tray with cup cake liners.
2. In a bowl mix flour, wheat flour, cocoa, coffee powder and baking soda.
3. In another bowl cream butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar until light.
4. Add milk, vanilla and yogurt and beat until incorporated.
5. Add the flour mixture and fold with a wooden spoon.
6. Fill the cup cake liners to 3/4 th with the batter.
7. Bake until a tooth pick comes out clean. It may take 20-30 minutes depending on the oven.
8. Remove from oven and allow the cup cakes to cool.
9. Mix icing sugar and 2 tbs of milk and heat it until melted.
10. Remove from flame and add the chocolate.
11. Keep on stirring until the chocolate melts into a smooth mixture.
12. If the frosting is very thick then add little milk to loosen the frosting.
13. With a spatula apply the frosting on the cup cakes and allow them to set.
14. If you feel that the frosting is very thin, then place it in the fridge for 5-10 minutes until it reaches the correct consistency.

Hi Gayathri!
Your recipes always always work for me! Thanks a tonne 🙂
Can I bake the above recipe as a cake instead of cupcakes?
Yes Sargam, you can bake it into a cake. And thank you so much for trying my recipes.
Hi Gayathri,
I wanted to try this receipe but would you please clarify : In the Ingredients list,you have mentioned “Baking Soda” but in the procedure ,you have added baking powder.So what we have to take soda or powder?
Have changed the recipe. It is baking soda..
Thanks Gayathri for prompt reply 🙂
I tried this receipe today. While cupcakes were in the oven ,they were so fluffy and beautiful but after coming out of the oven ,gradually sunk 🙁 totally ..
I have followed exact receipe.Would you guide me about the problem?
Also,though I am a beginner,I have tried so many recipes from your blog like Bread,Pav ,vanilla cake ,idli Upma, white chocochips brownie etc. and results of all were wonderful.
Please let me guide about cupcakes because my chocolate chips cup cakes were also not fluffy. I wanted to know where I am wrong?
Thanks In Advance 🙂
Hi, there are so many reasons for the sinking. Either you must have beaten the batter too much or the temp in the oven was high. Or baking soda you used can be past the expiry date. These are the common reasons for the sinking. Hope you get it good next time..
Thanks a ton Gayathri,
Will try it again!!!
