Baked these cupcakes last night and did some ganache topping on them this afternoon. Guess they're a little messy though. I, for once am not really into cupcakes frosting/icing. Probably becoz I think they're too sweet and that nobody at home will eat the end-product or probably I'm not good enough. However, I've done some cake icings before- way back in the 80s, the easy ones of course. Nowadays, everthing is so elaborate, beautiful and cute. So, just to share some pics and the recipe which I've obtained from Internet.
CHOC CHIP & ALMOND CUPCAKE
Ingredients
110gm--1/2cup castor sugar
110gm--1/2cup unsalted butter
110gm--1 cup plain flour
60gm chocolate chips
60gm ground almonds
2 drops of almond essence ( I used 1 tsp vanilla instead)
1 teaspoon of baking powder
2 eggs
1½ tablespoons of milk
Method
Put the sugar and butter into a bowl and beat by hand with a wooden spoon or use a mixer until creamy. Add 1 egg and beat in. Add the second egg and beat in. Sieve in the flour and the baking powder and mix gently. Add the ground almonds, chocolate chips, almond essence and mix gently
Divide the mixture into cupcake cases which have been placed into a baking tray. I use a large spoon. This makes about 12 cupcakes in large cases. I fill each case about

Bro, how's the taste like menurut citarasa bro le? Ok? Sedap? Tak sedap? Whatever it is, your cuppies look so yummy especially to all the chocolate lovers! I'm not that chocoholic though...

> Actually, I'm still getting used to using unsalted butter. To me, mcm kurang masin but my daughters ckp sedap. Wallahu'alam ya. But I still love the add-ons- Glico Pocky, Hershey's cookies & cream bar, M7M chocs & the choc ganache. mmmm...
u can try doing chocolate frosting; Resepinya mudah saja: 150gm dark cooking chocolate n 1/2 cup sour cream. Cairkan chocolate then put aside for abt 3 mins.Once cool,mix in sour cream. Beat till fine n glossy. Spread onto the cakes.
