I bookmarked Pavithra’s Best ever Eggless Chocolate Cupcakes recipe long back but never got a chance to make it. I do have an eggless chocolate recipe which I prefer and make for all my orders. Even hubby dear who is a chocolate hater likes that cake. As I have been trying different recipes lately I thought of making Pavithra’s recipe today. This was actually for an order. The client was giving a surprise gift and I was to deliver these beautiful cupcakes. As she wanted only eggless cupcakes, I thought it was a perfect opportunity to make these cupcakes. Each and every person has personal preferences and I learnt it in my 2 years as a home baker. Some times a cake I didn’t like will become a great hit among clients and some times the one I liked so much would be disliked by the client. Lately I discovered that most of the clients preferred super moist cakes and nowadays I make sure that they get it.

This cake is among the moist cake category. The quantity given makes 16 cupcakes. As I had an order for 12, the other 4 cupcakes stayed at our home. I never ever give out cakes or cupcakes before test tasting it. So to make sure that it tasted good, I ate one. It was so moist and fudgy and was so soft. The cupcakes had uniform dome and I was so happy. But my husband who tasted it found it too moist. He likes it little drier. He says that they are like grated coconut and this sticks in the mouth. This is how he described the fudgy taste. But I never take his review into account when it comes to chocolate. Because I think I know it better than him.

This cake uses cake flour instead of maida. To make a cup of cake flour at home, add 2 tbs of cornflour in a cup and top it with maida. This will make a cup of cake flour. Sift the mixture three times and your cake flour is ready. I used my butter cream recipe for the roses and in this post I am only concentrating on the cupcake recipe. This is quite easy to put together. Mix all the dry ingredients, make a well in the centre, pour all the liquid ingredients and whisk. Your cake batter is ready. Just fill your cupcake liner and bake for 20 minutes. Voila! Your cupcakes are ready. Decorate or gobble as it is..
