For the second day of Chocolate dishes, I had done this sinful double chocolate cupcake, frosted with chocolate truffle. You can imagine the reception this got! It's a salvation for chocolate craving and trust me, it still leaves you longing for me. Coming from a chocoholic, this is expected of course, and with kids equally following steps, I have nothing more to say. I rest my case here!

Technology does that to you and yes you are at its mercy! Anyway, the news is, all of us are having steady progress towards excellent performance! I know we will give you a dhamakedar show!

Coming back to the recipe, this is something I was tempted to do when I had seen this recipe, it makes for a great input when you are trying to impress your kids.

How to bake the Double Chocolate Cupcakes

In a thick bottom pan with high sides, add butter, sugar, chopped chocolate, and water. Place on medium low flame and constantly keep stirring to avoid the sugar from burning. Heat till all the sugar and chocolate have melted.

Switch off the flame, Keep stirring for 1 minute till the mixture cools off a bit.

Once the pan gets completely cooled, add the oil, buttermilk and vanilla extract. Mix well. If the mixture is hot, the buttermilk might split slightly.

Sift the flour, cocoa powder, salt, baking soda and baking powder in to the chocolate mixture.

Mix well till the dry mixture has been incorporated into the wet mixture. Take care not to over mix.

Pour the batter into cupcake molds till they are about 1/2th full.

Bake at 160 C for 30 minutes or until they are fully cooked.

Let them cool completely. Once the cupcakes are cooled, frost with Chocolate Truffle frosting

Chocolate Truffle Frosting

Chop chocolate into chunks and add to the mixing bowl.
Heat cream till it comes to a boil
Add cream to the chocolate and make sure chocolate is covered with cream. Let it rest for 2-3 minutes

To serve

of the cupcakes. If you're using liquid chocolate sauce / Ganache, simply dip the top of the double chocolate cupcakes in the chocolate sauce.
