Spicy Crinkle Chocolate Cupcakes






Christmas is round the corner.  The mood was for baking something with spice.  So here is my version of Crinkle cookies in a cupcake

Ingredients
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1 cup castor sugar
1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 /2 tsp cinnamon powder
1/2 tsp nutmeg powder
pinch of salt
Confectioner Sugar

Mix the cocoa powder, castor sugar and oil till it all comes together in one lump.  This can be done with a spoon.

Beat in the eggs, one at a time, alongwith the vanilla extract

Sift in the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg powders and mix just to bring together.  Do not beat

Keep in a cool place for 4-6 hours.

Preheat oven to 180 C.  Take some of the chilled dough and roll it in your hands.

Roll in the confectioner Sugar till fully coated.

Bake in a muffin tray - I used a mini size - for 10-12 min.
