Another baking session

in Steem Sri Lanka3 days ago (edited)
I like try baking a lot but I've missed doing it in past months. After a long time I tried making cupcakes and chocolate lava cake. As cake ingredients prices are high I don't usually bake often. But no doubt homemade cake is way better than store bought cakes. Following is the cupcake recipe I followed. This time I used all the techniques I learned through my baking attempts.

vanilla cupcakes For 12 mini cupcakes
100g butter/Astra
100g sugar (white and brown mixed)
100g all purpose flour
1 tsp corn starch
2 eggs
Vanilla
Fresh milk
Baking powder 1 tsp

I didn't measure in here because my scale is broken. I eye balled ingredients.

Method of preparation
First add butter to a ball and risk it will until turns into cream. Beater is quick if you have
I blended sugar. Then I added sugar little by little to the mixture and beat well.
Wisk two eggs.
Add little by little and beat well
Add vanilla and milk. mix well
Using a shifter , I added flour, corn flour and baking powder . So that it all mix evenly

Preheat the oven for 10 minutes under 170 degrees.
Put the batter into 2/3 of cupcake liners.
Put into the oven and bake for 20 minutes

Chocolate lava cake
This is the first time of making lava cake. Store bought lava cakes cost over 500 LKR per one. But I only spent around 500 LKR for 4 lava cakes .

My recipe
One egg beaten
Dark chocolate compound 100-120g
One tsp butter/ margarine
Vanilla
Milk
Cornflour and flour 3/4 tea spoon
Sugar blended 2 teaspoons
Pinch of baking powder and salt

Aluminum foil cupcake liners - 4

Method
Double boil the chocolate with margarine. (More chocolate you use . More lava you get)
Let it cool.
Add egg well beaten.
Mix well
Add vanilla and milk
Add flour and mix well.
Add pinch of salt and baking powder.

This batter is watery than cupcake batter. Preheat the oven to 170°c for 10 mins. Pour the batter into cupcake liners. Bake for 20 mins under same temperature.

Lava cake was soft and tasty but I couldn't get the overflowing chocolate because I added bit much flour. Next time I'm gonna add more chocolate and less flour.
Next time I'm going to try baking a marble cake with icing. I'll bring that soon.
