Eggless Chocolate Cupcake

Eggless Chocolate Cupcake by N Kumar on Apr 23, 2011

If I don’t say, you will not know that this is an eggless cupcake. I believe the chemistry between chocolate, buttermilk and baking soda worked out really well which yielded in feather lite, moist and lip-smacking chocolate cupcakes. Every bite just melted in my mouth.

To give an extra kick I served it with low fat whipped cream and it tasted damn good.

Cook time: 30 min to 1 hour
Prep time: Under 15 min
Serves: 6 people
Yields: 12 cupcakes

Ingredients

1 1/2 cup All purpose flour (Substitute: Whole Wheat Pastry flour)
3/4 – 1 cup Dark Brown Sugar packed (Substitute: Light Brown Sugar/Sugar/Honey of same quantity)
2 tbsp Cocoa Powder
1 tsp Baking Soda
1/2 tsp Salt
6 tbsp Canola Oil
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
1 tbsp White Vinegar
1 cup Low fat Butter Milk (Substitute: 1 cup milk + 1 tsp Vinegar or Lemon juice)
6 tbsp Coffee (without milk)
2 3/4 tbsp Bittersweet Chocolate chips (Used Ghirardelli)

Method

Prepare Coffee in your own way. I have used stove top espresso maker/traditional filter coffee maker. Using a knife cut the chocolate chip into tiny pieces or using a mixer pulse it twice or thrice until all the chips are crushed.

Preheat oven to 350 F. In a muffin pan, arrange the cupcake liners.

In a large mixing bowl, add flour, brown sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, salt.

Whisk it together so that it blends well.

Then add Canola oil, vanilla extract, vinegar, buttermilk. Whisk again until blended.

Add crushed chocolate chips and stir it using a whisk. Now you will be tempted to lick the batter. Carry on.

Add coffee and stir it again to combine.

The batter will be runny but that is ok.

Slowly pour the cupcake mix in each cupcake holder half way through using a laddle or your measuring cup.

11.

Bake for 25-35 mins until the toothpick inserted comes out clean. Remove it from oven. Place them on a cooling rack and allow it to cool.
