Cup cakes with Raspberry Icing

Description

Cupcakes with raspberry icing . This is my first try on cupcakes. I felt ok but have to better myself for sure. My daughter ANISHA is into cup cakes now a days .So for her sake atleast i have to update myself in cupcakes. My last stay in coimbatore , she craved so much for cup cakes . Finally found one small shop where they sell cup cakes.She got a few but have to say they were way too expensive and didn’t taste good or appear good. My gal was all praises about my friend gazeena sulu kunahmed and her cup cakes. Sulus cup cakes look so beautiful that we will not want to eat them. (meaning just admiring them will be worth) Uum ok happy republic day to all. I am a real patriotic person. But i feel our patriotism stops with schools and colleges. Have to mention about my experience in my last visit to a movie theatre in fun republic mall in Coimbatore. Before the movie could start they played a musical and visual of our national anthem asking everyone to stand up. I was so surprised but had goose bumps.

Chocolate Brownie Fudge

A yummy dessert so rich in chocolate . It has a very thin cracked hard crust and a fudgey base .it needs no sauce or anything to accompany it , can be had just like as it is . If you want to make it look even more appealing serve it with venilla ice Cream or any berries made this a few days back just like that no guests or kids at home . My hubby had just 2 slices , the rest ………. Ok I myself gobbled the rest .( not all at once ) I had the nigella lawson moment where you are drawn to sneak towards your refrigerator to have a sinfull indulgence .

Method ;
Preheat oven to 160 degree Celsius . Grease a 9 inch square baking pan . I usually when ever baking a cake prefer to cover the base and sides ( a bit higher than the sides of the baking tray as it will be easier to life the cake once done ) with foil paper or butter sheet . Then grease . Mix sugar , melted butter and vanilla essence together and mix well . Add the beaten eggs . Mix well till the sugar dissolves . Sift together baking powder , flour , salt and cocoa powder three times . Gradually add it to the egg mixture . Mix till it is nicely incorporated and well blended . Fold in the chocolate chips and nuts . Spread the batter in the greased baking pan . Bake for 30 to 40 minutes . Remove and cool completely . Cut into squares and serve .
