Chocolate cup cake, with chocolate butter cream frosting(eggless).

Wishing all my readers a very happy new year. Starting off the new year with a sweet recipe.
Cup cakes are kids and adults favorite alike. I have tried this recipe with different types of frostings, since my kids love chocolate, I have made chocolate cup cake with chocolate frosting.
Here is the recipe.






Ingredients: For cake.
Dry Ingredients:
All purpose flour- 1-1/2 cup.
Granulated sugar- 1 cup.
Unsweetened coco powder-1/3 cup.
Baking soda- 1/2 teaspoon.
Salt-1/2 teaspoon.

Wet ingredients:
Canola oil- 1/2 cup.
Water- 1 cup.
Apple cider vinegar-1 table spoon.
Vanilla extract- 1 teaspoon.

Method:
First, pre-heat the oven to 350°F.
Mix the dry ingredients with wet ingredients to form a smooth batter.
Coat the paper cups with non stick spray or oil for smooth removal of the cup cakes.  Add the batter into the cup cake molds, do not fill the mold till brim, leave room for the cakes to rise, fill up to 3/4 of the mold.
Place the molds into the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes.
Check for done, by sticking a tooth pick in the centre of the cake, if it comes out clean, cup cakes are ready to come out.
Allow them to cool completely and frost.

Ingredients for frosting:
Butter( softened): 2 sticks (1 Cup).
Confectionary Sugar: 1cup.
Chocolate chips-3/4 cup.
Vanilla extract-1 teaspoon.

Method:
In a large bowl, take softened butter, and whisk using a hand beater or spatula. Melt the chocolate chips in the microwave, takes about 2 minutes (keep checking for every 30 seconds and mix), let it cool.
Once the butter is in a creamy consistency add sugar, vanilla extract, melted/cooled chocolate and mix to form a smooth cream. If the frosting is too soft leave it in the fridge for sometime.
Using a spatula or any decorative frosting pipes, frost the cup cakes.
Yummy cup cakes are ready!!!

Note: Use any cooking oil of your choice, avoid strong flavored ones.
