Classic Chocolate Cupcakes

Assalammualaikum bersiaran dipetang Jumaat, kalau yang bekerja tu dah on the way balik ..kita baru  ni dapat relax sekejap..maklumlah cuti sekolah, budak2 kat rumah riuh, kecoh yang mana bergaduh, melalak yang mana buat selerak..baru kemas dah kotor balik, baru sapu dah bersepah balik, cushion jangan cakaplah beribu2 kali kena susun balik dalam sehari..yang mana lanyak buat bantal, yang mana uli macam dough the cushion..basically rumah tak boleh kemaslah.. During this school holidays kita tak kemana2 pun...the boys pulak kejap2 pekik.."Ma LAPAR!!'..aduhai baru tadi makan roti prata lapar lagi?..asik duk kat dapur ajelah ya....ermmm Besides all those things, kita harus juga check & sit with the two(Iqram & Marsya) with their homework..itu yang tak ada masa nak update & blogwalking...Monday dah school reopen, pergilah sekolah balik ya anak2....hehe..

Dalam kesibukkan with the daily routine during this time, sempat juga I made this Classic Chocolate Cupcakes yang pernah kita buat dulu....this time tak decorate apa2 pun sebab nak terus ngap and for the kids to munch2 bila they got the sweet chocolate cravings...Budak2 suka betul dengan this chocolate cupcakes, well mak budak punnn..hehehe..Thanks again Maya, for this wonderful recipe..(psst... tengah plan bila nak buat the other recipe tu..hehehe)..If you all nak cuba, please adjust the amount of gula used ya..sebab for me, I letak frosting so the chocolate cake tu memang I kurangkan sugarnya, as the frosting tu dah manis..tapi kalau tak buat frostingnya sukatan gula in the cake boleh lebihkan(kalau naklah) ....

ps: Ok good news, my email account is back to normal again..
