Ingredients: - Maida

Sugar – 100gms
- Unsalted
Butter – 65gms (At Room Temperature)
- Egg
– 1 (45gms)

Powder – 5gms (1 1/3tsp)
- Cocoa
Powder – 25gms
- Vanilla
Essence – 2/3tsp
- Water
– 55gms (1/3 Cup)
Keep
all ingredients measured ready before making the cake.
Preparations:
Preheat
oven in convection mode at 190oC. Take cup cake moulds and
grease
them with ghee. Place a paper cup in each greased mould. Grease the
paper cups
with ghee and keep them aside. Place
a sieve in a mixing bowl and add maida, cocoa powder, baking powder and
powdered sugar. Sift all these dry ingredients twice to mix them
properly. Mix
once again with a spoon and keep it aside. Break egg into a bowl and
keep it
aside. Method: Fix
hand mixer bowl and hand mixer to the stand. To the hand mixer bowl add
butter,
vanilla essence and egg and run mixer on medium speed. Add water and mix
for
few seconds. Now add the sifted dry ingredients a spoon at a time so
that the
mixture will not form lumps. Run the mixer till the cake batter is
smooth. Now
spoon this cake mixture into the prepared cups. Arrange the cups on the
turn
table of convection oven. Now bake the cup cakes in preheated oven at
190oC
in convection mode for 15 minutes. Baking
time may differ from oven to oven. So keep an eye on the
cakes and test for doneness by inserting a tooth-pick into the cake. If
the
tooth-pick comes out clear that indicates the cake is baked perfectly.
If the
batter sticks to the tooth-pick that indicates the cake is not yet
done—so bake
for some more time. Here for me it took 12 minutes to bake these cup cakes. Let the cakes
remain in oven for 5 more
minutes in SWITCH OFF mode. Then take out cakes from oven and remove
them from
the moulds and place them on a wire rack. Cool them to room temperature
before
serving. Points to Notice: Use
Unsalted Butter which is at room temperature. Measure all the
ingredients and
sift the dry ingredients and keep them ready before mixing. The
butter and egg mixture will look curdled—do not worry. Add all the
ingredients
one by one and one after the other and mix till you get a smooth cake
mixture. Follow
the steps correctly—like preheating the oven before mixing the
ingredients etc.
When
you observe that the cakes are detaching from the moulds and the surface
is
smooth, check with a tooth-pick for doneness. If
you want to do icing for the cakes, let them cool completely otherwise
the
icing melts. Warm
and fresh cakes do not require icing—as they taste heavenly.
