    Total 717 grams instead of the original recipe which makes around 1300 grams of frosting

    Egg whites 138 grams
    Granulated sugar 166 grams
    Unsalted butter 250 grams
    Vanilla extract 3 grams
    Pinch of salt or 0.1 gram
    Dark chocolate 158 grams

      Here’s an easy recipe that requires hardly any ingredients:
      Mix 2tbsp cocoa powder with 1-2 tbsp boiling water,set aside
      Mix 100g melted butter,100g flour,2 eggs,the cocoa powder water mixture,100g sugar,1 tsp baking powder.
      Pop in oven at 170 degrees celcius until cooked.

    Hi John: Just wanted to let you know that your chocolate cupcake recipe is my go-to recipe for chocolate cupcakes. In fact, I have made it so many times, I have lost count and cupcakes are 100% perfection every time. I have memorized this recipe!! I have yet to make your chocolate frosting as I am a bit intimated with anything other than American Buttercream! 😅🧁. In fact... I love your chocolate cupcake recipe so much that I have converted it into vanilla cupcakes as well!! I was getting so tired of trying various recipes only to end up tossing the entire batch of cupcakes into the green bin! I have tried your vanilla cupcakes, but I have had great success with tweaking your chocolate cupcake recipe. I reduce the sugar to 1 cup, omit cocoa powder & coffee, add 1-1/2 tbsp pure vanilla extract and add 1/4 cup of 18% table cream. The vegetable oil makes the cupcakes so pillowy & fluffy! Everything else remains constant. I bake them for 17-18 minutes @ 350F. Thanks again for all your great videos. You are my cupcake hero! Keep inspiring everyone! Cupcake Adventures 🇨🇦🧁

    I made this recipe yesterday and it came out so good! A nice thing that would be nice to see for the next recipes is if the oven needs to be ventilated or static. I'm not sure if this option exists for ovens in US, but in Europe it's very common and it can really change the outcome of the baking.
