Chocochip Cupcake

Somewhere over the rainbow

Blue birds fly

And the dreams that you dreamed of

Dreams really do come true ooh oh

Someday I'll wish upon a star

Wake up where the clouds are far behind me

Where trouble melts like lemon drops

High above the chimney tops

That's where you'll find me

Awww...hearing the songs over my smartphone on this cloudy day, makes me really blue. 

The rain has been pouring our city for around a month now, since last January. It causes flood, traffic, and disease all over the part of our beloved country. 

This actually what people called 'yearly flood'. Even in the central business district like sudirman area or thamrin, the flood do not stop. It even reaches to the Presidential Residence where Joko Widodo, our 7th President stay. 

So on this rainy season which really makes me wanna sleep and cuddle all day, I need a cake, just small, not too big, to lighten up my mood. 

I stumbled upon thelittleloaf blog which makes a chocolate custard muffin, and has a very comforting comments on her blog. So I decided to bake one recipe which makes 6 servings, and I also add a whipped cream on top of it, then hurray, I've got a Chocochip Cupcake for waiting our rainbow to come out after the rain

Chocolate Custard Muffins

(makes six)

For the muffins

Ingredients:

25g cornflour

1 1/2 tbsp cocoa

50g dark soft brown sugar

110ml cold water

30g unsalted butter, cubed

65g dark chocolate, broken small

32 ml sunflower oil

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 large egg

65g caster sugar

65g plain flour

1 1/4 tsp baking powder

>> I added 100gr chocolate chip for filling 

Method:

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C.

First make the custard: put the cornflour, cocoa, brown sugar and water into a saucepan and whisk together over a medium heat until boiling, very thick and smooth. Remove from the heat, beat in the butter and chocolate until melted and absorbed, then add the oil, vanilla and one of the eggs, and beat again until combined. Add the remaining egg and the caster sugar, and beat again until smooth and thick.

Measure the flour and baking powder into a bowl, stir together, then sift directly on to the custard and beat through until combined. 

Pour chocochip into the batter, and mix it well. 

Spoon into paper muffin cases sitting in the pockets of a muffin tray and bake for 25 minutes.

For Whipped Cream

1 cup of whipped cream powder

2 cups of cold water

Mocha pasta flavoring to taste 

Direction
