.: Chocolate Chip Cupcake Recipe :.

Never knew it could be so difficult to get a recipe for chocolate cupcakes. I mean there are aplenty available on the internet, but after glimpsing thru each of them; they just didn’t seem right – either the proportioned looked wrong or the ingredients doesn’t gel.

So I googled “Kuali” and this Chocolate Chip Cupcake recipe by Amy Beh popped out. Reading the ingredients, it sounded pretty much about right, I proceed to match two batch of these (with slight modification of course!). This recipe is definitely a keeper, John’s colleague thought it was (and I quote) “NICEEEEE!!!!!!” and also said I was an “excellent baker”! *blush*
