Recipe: Moist Chocolate Cup Cakes By Shireen Anwer

So here I am trying out this perfect recipe of moist chocolate cup cakes by Shireen Anwer, for my kids. Chocolate cupcakes or muffins are my family’s favourite and I find it a perfect item to be given in their lunch boxes each morning.

This recipe of moist chocolate cupcakes for kids by Shireen Anwer was passed on to me by my friend and I am really grateful to her, as it makes the most moist and the yummmmieeest cupcakes. I prefer keeping them plain as you can see for I usually store a few for giving my kids as snacks in school but you can decorate them with butter cream icing or chocolate ganache if you like – that’s totally up to you! I am sharing with you the recipe but first…

A FEW TIPS BEFORE YOU BEGIN!

  • This recipe for chocolate cupcakes for kids can be tried out in the microwave or the oven, whatever pleases you 🙂 The picture above is the result from an oven, though!
  • Serve them instantly or keep them in an air tight box for eating later, but make sure to cool them off before storing.
  • You can sprinkle colorful smarties or apply frosting upon these chocolate muffins, whatever pleases you. I keep them plain many a times because the weather is hot here and the cream and frosting may go bad or runny with the heat.
  • I usually let cupcakes bake half way through, then I open my oven and sprinkle chocolate chips (either brown or white) or assorted cake sprinklers on top of the cup cakes and then let them bake until they are ready. This allows the sprinklers to get settled on the top surface. Make sure your kids are well out of reach and away from the kitchen before you attempt to do this!
  • If you prefer chocolate cream or butter frosting, you can either make it on your own or buy it ready made and ice and decorate your cupcakes after they are out of the oven and cooled down totally. These make ideal desserts to be served at kids’ parties.

Now here’s the recipe…
