Fudgy brownie cupcakes!!




How can anyone ever resist a brownie. I for one can never.Neither can my daughter.We are both sweet fanatics and brownies are her ultimate favorite.Since its the summer vacays and there is so much time in hand(for her!), what better way to make use of that time than whipping something up that she loves best. So here I am with brownies not in pieces but in cupcakes and I couldn't have made it without the proper guidance and supervising provided by my lil helper.

Makes :12 cups
Here's what you need:
All purpose flour: 2/3cup
Unsweetened cocoa powder: 2/3 cup
Sugar - 1 cup
Baking powder-1/2 tsp
Butter- 1 stick
Eggs- 2
Vanilla extract-1 tsp
Milk- 1/3 cup
Salt - a pinch
Preparation:

Place the rack in the middle of the oven and pre heat to 325 degrees.
In a bowl melt the butter and add the cocoa powder. Blend well. In a mixing bowl, add the eggs and beat it well followed by the sugar. Blend till you get a smooth mixture.
Fold the flour and baking powder into the egg/sugar mixture and mix so as to avoid any lumps.
Finally add the butter/cocoa powder mixture to this and give it a whisk.
Line muffin cups with cupcake liners or just grease the cups. I didn't have any paper liners to I just opted for the latter.
Pour the batter slowly into each cup using a ladle.
Bake for about 20-25 mins ( oven timing may vary slightly). To see if the brownies are done just insert a toothpick in the centre . It should come out slightly moist.
Now remove the cupcakes from the oven and cool completely on a wire rack.

Note:If you like your brownies super moist like I do then seal them in an air tight container immediately after cooling.

Here's some for you  :)
