Video & Resipi Banana Chocolate Cupcakes

Salam,

Ramadhan bakal menjelang tak lama lagi.  Dah bersedia ke? -_-
Selalunya bulan puasa ni, persoalan yg sering ada ialah "buka nak makan apa?".  Betul tak?

How about cuba resipi ni - Banana Chocolate cupcakes.  Yang bestnya ada campur pisang, jadi lebih berkhasiat daripada cupcake yg biasa-biasa je.  Anak-anak pasti suka :).

Adunan dia agak cair, tapi jangan risau, ia akan naik dgn cantik.  Tak perlu butter atau margerin.  Guna minyak sayuran sahaja.  Pilih minyak yg tak berbau.  Saya guna Canola Oil (Naturel brand).  A bit mahal tapi memang guna minyak tu utk masak sbb bagus untuk mengurangkan kolesterol, jadi boleh guna utk buat cupcakes sekali.  Jangan guna minyak kelapa sawit yg ada bau seperti Cap Buruh, Knife dan seumpamanya.  Nanti tak sedap sbb bau dia kuat...

Anyway, jom tonton video kat sini:



Resipi: (dari http://joyofbaking.com/cupcakes/BananaChocolateCupcakes.html)

Banana Chocolate Cupcakes:

1 cup (200 grams) granulated white sugar
1 cup (130 grams) all-purpose flour
1/3 cup (35 grams) unsweetened cocoa powder (regular or Dutch-processed)
3/4 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt

1 large egg

1/2 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 1 medium sized banana)
1/2 cup (120 ml) warm water
1/4 cup (60 ml) milk
1/4 cup (60 ml) canola, corn, or vegetable oil
3/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Chocolate Fudge Frosting:
3 ounces (90 grams) unsweetened chocolate, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup (113 grams) unsalted butter, room temperature
1 cup (120 grams) confectioners (powdered or icing) sugar, sifted
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract


Cara-cara:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C) and place rack in the center of the oven. 
Line 12 regular-sized muffin cups with paper liners or spray each cup with a non stick vegetable spray.
In a large bowl whisk together the sugar, flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In another large bowl, whisk together the egg, mashed banana, water, milk, oil, and vanilla extract. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir, or whisk, until combined. (The batter is quite thin.) 

Pour or scoop the batter into the muffin cups, about 3/4 full, and bake for about 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a cupcake comes out clean.   

Remove from oven and let cool on a wire rack. Frost with the Chocolate Frosting.

Chocolate Frosting: Melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl placed over a saucepan of simmering water. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature. 

In the bowl of your electric mixer, or with a hand mixer, beat the butter until smooth and creamy (about 1 minute). Add the sugar and beat until it is light and fluffy (about 2 minutes). Beat in the vanilla extract. Add the chocolate and beat on low speed until incorporated. Increase the speed to medium-high and beat until frosting is smooth and glossy (about 2 -3 minutes).

Makes 12 regular-sized cupcakes.

 Selamat Mencuba dan Ramadhan Mubarak kepada semua.  Semoga kita mendapat keampunan dari Allah sempena bulan yg penuh barakah ini.
