Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 2 cups | Flour |
| 1 pinch | Salt |
| 1 cup | Sugar |
| 1 1/4 cup | Shortening |
| 3/4 cup | Cocoa |
| 2 | Eggs |
| 1 tsp | Vanilla |
| 1 tsp | Baking soda |
| 1 cup | Water |
| 1 cup | Chocolate chips |
| 1 cup | Chopped nuts |
Instructions:
-
Sift Dry Ingredients: Begin by sifting together the flour, cocoa, and salt in a large mixing bowl. This step ensures a smooth texture in your cupcakes.
-
Prepare Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, add the sugar gradually to the shortening, and cream them together until smooth and creamy.
-
Incorporate Eggs and Vanilla: Blend in the 2 unbeaten eggs and vanilla extract into the creamed mixture until well combined.
-
Prepare Baking Soda Mixture: In a separate small bowl, combine the baking soda and water, stirring until the soda dissolves completely.
-
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Add the baking soda mixture alternately with the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture. Start and end with the dry ingredients, ensuring to blend thoroughly after each addition. Use a mixer on low speed for best results.
-
Prepare Cupcake Pans: Line 20 to 24 muffin pans with cupcake paper liners. Fill each liner halfway with the cupcake batter.
-
Add Toppings: Sprinkle a generous amount of chocolate chips and chopped nuts over the cupcake batter in each liner. This adds extra flavor and texture to your cupcakes.
-
Bake: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the prepared cupcake pans in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove the cupcakes from the oven and allow them to cool in the pans for a few minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
Enjoy your delicious Cocoa Pink Cupcakes! 🧁🍫
