I had mayonnaise chocolate cake, on my blog recently,
now, I am adding sour cream chocolate cake to my list of other than using 'butter and sugar' in a cake.

My first time baking and featuring cupcakes on my space... and it will not be my last ;P.




 Why cupcakes, when there is no longer the craze for cupcakes?

Well... if you have been following my blog, you'd notice that I don't really follow trends.
I move like a sloth when it comes to trending food.

It was hub's birthday last month, the birthday boy has to bring a cake to share with his officemates for their Fridays coffee break.

When I was told to bake a cake for 30 pax! I had my panic moments!!! Who wouldn't!

If I were to bake a puny cake (my standard 8 inch cake), everyone will get a smallest slice ever, or just crumbs.

or I could just order a humongous cake! From past experience, bought cake was expensive and dry :(

or I could just bake cupcakes... everyone will definitely get a decent bite of the "birthday" cake :P plus some macarons, Salted Caramel macarons, my most requested macarons by far :D




My go to cake.... Nigella's Old fashioned Chocolate Cake featured in Feast magazine.

and I love the way she described the cake in her introduction paragraph.

I could almost hear her silky, sultry voice as I was reading the blurb :D.
And what got me going for this Sour cream chocolate cake was her few keywords :

• Simple
• Luscious
• Mood-enhancingly good
• Easy 
• Mix all in one in food processor! (the seal the deal statement!!)

Another reason why I chose to bake cupcakes...

If I were to frost the whole cake for hub's office mate, I would have many sleepless nights, my frosting is still wishy washy.

... but with cupcakes, armed with desired piping nozzle, watch a bit of video and a little bit of practice, I can hide my imperfections ;P

Bookmark this page for your next bake! Definitely no regrets :D
