One-bowl chocolate cupcakes with rainbow buttercream
Cuspcake rating: 3.5
These looked much better in my head than they did in real life. Tried the one-bowl choc cupcakes recipe from Martha Stewart as I've read favourable reviews of them several times, and am still in search of a go-to chocolate cupcake recipe.
This one was easy, chocolatey and moist (it uses oil instead of butter) and was light and tasty – definitely a go-to in-a-hurry recipe. The batter was liquid too, which made filling the cups especially easy.
The rainbow buttercream was too soft, as my buttercream is wont to be, partly I think the new brand of butter I bought. The painting-the-inside-of-the-piping-bag method was fun though (although my hands were stained with food colouring for several days after!). Used animal biscuits to cover up the ugly piped cream (and uneven colours) but it was too soggy so they wouldn't stay up straight. Also wasn't able to get the chocolate teddy grahams I'd wanted, which I think would've been alot cuter than these plain zoo ones.
These were nice, and will use them in future for sure, especially in a pinch. They're crowdpleasers, but lack a certain something-something, will continue to look for the perfect choc cuppies...
