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..

I made Pavithra’s chocolate cupcakes too and like your husband I thought they were too moist. But like you said, each of us have different tastes and it is quite difficult to make anything that everyone likes.

Yes, you can.

Akka will it change the cake texture if I ignore apple cedar vinegar?

Hi mam what is ur measuring cup size. I have 240ml cup how many cup cakes will i get if used 240ml cup size
Mine is a 200 ml cup. You need to calculate accordingly.
And if i cut the size by half will the ratio of other ingredients also change by half?
Yes, you need to halve all the ingredients.
