Eggless cup cakes/chocolate cup cakes

I neither believe in love being glorified on a special day nor celebrating it commercially. Love has to be cherished all throughout our life, like food, right enough to make us glow and grow. That is exactly why I cannot say ‘no’ to love or cup cakes served any time of the year.

Love is in the air!

Chocolatey cup cakes

This is a perfect last minute recipe for a Valentine’s day chocolate cake. No eggs added and very easy to bake. Chocolatey, soft and with a creamy, sweet top this cake will surely kindle some tender romance. This recipe is adapted from ‘Best recipes ever’ as shown on CBC. I tried it and the result was sweet.

1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup cocoa powder
1 tsp  baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup water
1/2 cup vegetable oil
4 tsp vinegar
1 tsp vanilla

For Icing
1/2 cup butter, softened
2 cups icing sugar
1/4 cup whipping cream
1 tsp vanilla

1. Whisk flour, brown sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt.
2. Add water, vegetable oil and vanilla and whisk until combined.
3. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
4. Scoop cake mixture into mini cupcake cups placed in a cup cake pan.
5. Bake for 8-10 minutes until a tooth pick inserted comes out clean.
6. Remove from oven and cool.

Icing

1. Beat butter and icing sugar gently.
2. Add cream and vanilla and beat until everything is mixed and smooth.

Enjoy this cake and get your heart racing!
