This recipe is the key recipe in every home! CHOCOLATE CUPCAKES!!!!!! These are my favorite to make and I decided to do it so everyone has the recipe for future reference. Firstly you need to grab the ingredients!!!

Ingredients

• 2 cups all purpose flour
• 2 cups sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 cup shortening
• 3/4 cup water
• 2 large eggs
• 3/4 cup milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 4 ounces melted unsweetened  baking chocolate


Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Or if you are using an AGA then don't worry. Line cupcake pans with paper liners. These can be any liners try and mix and match to add colour and it can be definitely be a statement for an event. You can get them at any supermarket or craft store.

Put all the ingredients into a large mixing bowl.  If you have a Kitchen Aid then put all the ingredients in there or if you have a whisk then whisk at a low speed for 30 seconds, and then scrape the bowl so ingredients go in the middle. Then mix at a high speed for 3 minutes.

Fill liners 1/2 to 2/3 full of batter.  Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until a stick is inserted in center and comes out nearly clean.

Cool 10 minutes in pans then remove, and place on wire racks to cool completely.

Frost when chocolate cupcakes are completely cool. 

I will have a detailed blog on how to frost soon so look out for that!! I hope you enjoy and I will speak to everyone soon!!! x
