Heeeyyy! Back again for some more recipes specially for you :) So anyway, a best friend of mine WhatsApp me, saying that she had baked those chocolate chocolate chip muffins I've posted and complimented that they were delicious! I was definitely on cloud nine! -laughs- Then, I thought of sharing more recipes and she was like agreed on my suggestion 100 percent! Yeah, without her very helpful support, I wouldn't be able to post this entry. So, thank you Tera! ❤

Now, up next is Marble Chocolate Muffins! I think these muffins are my latest favorite of all. My whole family LOVE them sooo much so that's why I thought of sharing them with you. A word of caution: It was a little tricky but if you just follow these steps one by one, In Shaa Allah you will be having them for your breakfast or tea party for sure! ;)

So here are the ingredients!

Marble Chocolate Muffins

Ingredient A

1 and 2/3 cups (210g) all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt

Ingredient B

1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted

Ingredient C

1 cup (200g) granulated sugar

Ingredient D

1 large egg, room temperature
1 cup buttermilk*
2 teaspoon vanilla extract (essence)

Ingredient E

1/4 cup (32g) unsweetened cocoa powder

Method

1) Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius and grease up 12 muffin cups.

2) Sift Ingredient A twice.

3) Whisk Ingredient B and C in a bowl until creamy. Put the bowl in the fridge for about 1 minute.

4) After about 1 minute, take out No. 3 and whisk it in Ingredient D.

5) Whisk until the batter is extremely thick.

6) Transfer 3/4 cup of the batter into another bowl.

7) Add Ingredient E into No.6 and add in 1 tablespoon of milk.

8) You will have two bowls: vanilla batter and chocolate batter.

9) Spoon 1 tablespoon of vanilla batter into muffin cups, then pour 1 tablespoon of chocolate batter on top, then more vanilla batter on top.

10) Swirl the batter using a toothpick to make a pattern.

11) Bake the cupcakes for approximately 20 minutes.

* Buttermilk is pretty expensive. You can make your own by pouring 1 cup of milk and 1 and 1/2 tablespoon of lemon juice. Let it sipped for half an hour.

There you go! Pretty tricky huh? Well, like they always say, when there's a will there's a way! Remember to follow these steps ONE BY ONE! So, goodluck baking!
