Baking my first cupcake
I am a big fan of cupcakes, chocolate cupcake specifically. I'm not much into carrot cakes or other flavors but I can sure give it a try. Ordering online can be a little bit expensive especially if there is an event and i wanted to have some. Last weekend,I had extra money and ample time to visit chocolate lover at QC and grab a couple of baking tools and ingredients. Much to my eagerness to baked, we will be having it for my brothers birthday. (walang testing testing! party agad!)
My friends who loves to baked and cook for her family gave me the recipe from her mom's old notes. She tried and tested the moist cake recipe and it was a success. And as expected, her family love it. Since her feedback was enough, I also use the recipe from her handy dandy recipe notebook for my first-time baking the cupcakes. Good thing I'm into moist cakes and cupcakes too!.
The steps in the recipe where clear. She made sure that first time baker can follow it easily. I just fret before putting goods in the stove because I expected the mixture to be harder. The outcome of mixing the ingredients together can be compared to the consistency of a thick hot cocoa. I though I did something wrong.
Thankfully after baking it for 15 minutes (170C), it became ready-to-eat cupcakes! My only mistake in this project is that I do not put flame on the lower part of the oven, but thanks to my instinct to put in on just in time before my cupcakes erupts like a volcanoes. Nonetheless, I can give myself a pat in the back for doing a great job considering that i don't have any background in baking. I just need a couple of minor adjustments like baking time, temperature, and the perfect ingredients then maybe I can get a hang on this.
The recipe made 21 cupcakes but it would be 20 cupcakes if I added more in the pans. I'm not sure how much I spent for this but it's definitely worth the money and the time. I baked this for my brother's birthday and it is super hit!
Desserts like cupcakes are definitely sweeter if you're the one to make it!
