Sathumavu means health mix powder which is made with different kinds of grains, millets and nuts which makes it really healthy small children. But obviously kids don't like eating a porridge out of this health mix powder so I come up with different ways to include this in their daily diet.
These muffins are so tasty and soft and moist and wonderful to eat. My children never figure out that these are made with sathumaavu powder!! You can make this for kids after school snack and they will love it! I assure you, adults will also love it!

1. Take the hot water in a cup and add the coffee powder and mix well.
2. Take the warm milk and add the vinegar, mix well and set aside.
3. Pre heat the oven to 180 degrees C for 15 mins.
4. Take the egg in a bowl, add vanilla and beat till it's light and fluffy.
5. Add the sugar and beat along with the egg.
6. Add the buttermilk and beat again.
7. Add oil and beat again.
8. Place a sieve over the bowl and add the maida, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
9. Mix all the ingredients well and sieve it into the bowl.
10. Start combining the wet and dry ingredients as you mix, add the coffee too. The batter will be runny.
11. Line a muffin tray with paper liners. Pour the batter into the paper liners. Fill only to half of the liners. Tap the tray on the counter to remove air bubbles.
12. Bake in the pre heated oven for 22-25 mins or until a skewer comes out clean.
13. Once done, remove the cupcakes and let it cool completely.
14. Cut off the domes portion of the cupcakes.
15. With the help of a nozzle, remove the center portion of the cupcakes.
Cherries
1. You can use fresh cherries if you get them, I don't get fresh cherries easily so I have used canned cherries.
2. Drain the cherries from the liquid, don't discard the liquid, we can use that to soak the cake layers.
3. Pit the cherries. Remove the seeds from each cherry and chop the cherry into smaller pieces.
4. Keep few cherries as a whole to decorate the top of the cake.
Frosting
1. Take the whipping cream in a bowl and add vanilla and icing sugar to beat.
2. Beat for 2-3 mins until stiff peaks are formed.
Chocolate shavings
1. To decorate the cake, we need some chocolate shavings or chocolate curls.
2. Make sure the chocolate bar is at room temperature.
3. Using a vegetable peeler, slowly peel the layers of chocolate and you will get beautiful curls.
Assembling
1. Soak the cupcakes lightly with the cherry syrup.
2. Add the roughly chopped cherries in the cupcake cavity. Stuff the cavity with lot's of cherries, so that the cupcakes are tasty.
3. Pipe some designs of your choice over the cupcakes with the whipped cream.
4. Sprinkle some chocolate shavings over the whipped cream.
5. Place a whole cherry to decorate these cupcakes.
Notes 1. The whipping cream will double in volume. 2. If you prefer alcohol, add some wine to the cherry syrup. 3. You can use sugar syrup too to soak the cake. For this cake you can add 2 or 3 tbsp of sugar to 1 cup of water, boil it and cool completely and then use. 4. This cake tastes best the next day when all the flavors have seeped in. Let it rest atleast for 12 hours. 5. The left over cherry syrup can be stored in the freezer. The left over cherries can also be stored in the freezer. 6. If you have left over whipped cream use it in some other deserts. Do not store for a long time. I make thisvanilla ice cream or chocolate ice cream or this black forest trifle or this chocolate mousse if I have cream left over. 7. If you are using tinned cherries, most probably they would have added color to the cherries. When you place the cherries on the cake the day before and leave it in the fridge, the cherries will start leaching color making your whipped cream reddish. So I would suggest washing the cherries slightly and decorating just before serving. 8. Do not keep the whole bowl of whipped cream out, when frosting the cake. It might start melting. That is why I add some in the piping bag and leave it in the fridge so that it will remain set.
9. I used powdered sugar for the cake batter.

I came across this recipe somewhere in YouTube. It is such an easy and simple recipe but it does come out well. These little muffins, were soft and fluffy and all the kids loved them. And I made these into mini muffins and sprinkled some sprinkles on top which was loved all the more! The only thing I would suggest is, to add some vanilla to the batter as I could get the taste of the heavy cream used. None of the kids complained of it but I could get it and the next time I make these muffins, I will be adding some vanilla!

These single serve muffins works best for sudden cravings, especially with my kids. My kids (who are 5 and 3 years old) have not yet taken a liking to cakes, cupcakes or ice creams so somedays they suddenly ask for cupcakes and when I'm done baking a batch, they eat just one or half, frustrating me to no end! These kind of recipes work best for them! The best part about this recipe is that, you can choose to bake this in the oven or you can make it in the microwave. If you do want to bake a full batch of tasty chocolate chip muffins, then check out this recipe.

If you're regular to my space, you must know my weakness for strawberries. I love this fruit and since the strawberries we get here are almost always too tart, I make some dessert out of it and enjoy. This time when I had to visit my in laws, this is what I made for my nieces. This is an absolutely delicious muffin and the additional chocolate chips makes it too good! It's such a soft rich chocolate muffin with chunks of strawberries, you'll simply love it!
I baked these lovely cupcakes for my son's 3rd birthday party along with the main cake - the Garbage Truck Cake, and we loved these cuppies! Any chocolate cupcake is delicious but this one is especially good since it's so light, soft and moist. Since we use oil and not butter, it makes the cupcakes so light and moist. Even if you leave it in the refrigerator and then take it out and eat immediately, it still tastes great! These are like the perfect chocolate cupcakes! These cupcakes uses oil and if you don't bake it correctly, the top can get sticky after sometime. If you want a cupcake that uses butter check out this chocolate cupcake recipe.
