Chocolate Cupcake





This kind of cupcake is so moist and fluffy. The last thing you want your cupcake is to be dense and hard, and this recipe has just fulfilled my needs. The original recipe called for 1 cup of flour, however I found it too watery, so I added 1/4 cup more, which was a right addition. You can even enhance the flavor of chocolate by adding chocolate chips or any kind of chocolate available in your kitchen.

1 cup sugar
1 cup water
1 cup vegetable oil
1 1/4 cup all purpose flour

2 larg eggs
1teaspoon vanilla extract

Preheat the oven to 350 C. Line cupcake pan with paper liners. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder salt. In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine the sugar and oil and beat together on medium-high speed until incoorperative, about 2-3 minutes. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Blend in the vanilla and sour cream. With the mixer on low speed, add in the dry ingredients in three additions.
