I tried your recipe... Is the best chocolate muffin so far. Sorry as i adjusted the sugar volume in muffin batter to 80gm as requested by my mom. It still turned out very good and accepted level of sweetness.

[@Dolcevita_bakes]

Hi MK I’ve noticed you’re sitting down.. I hope you’re feeling ok. I noticed you’ve mentioned health issues in the past so sending you healing vibes and a hug! I’m home from Florida 3 weeks now and brought back with me the covid. I’m miserable because it won’t go away. I’ve lost all energy and Praying it comes back soon

[@CakesbyMK]

Hi lovely! Thank you so much for your kind message - I am doing much better now thank you :) I still have good days and bad days but definitely moving in the right direction and having a chair to sit on definitely helps so much!! I'm so sorry to hear you have covid :( hope you are feeling okay and wishing you a speedy recovery ❤️

i followed this recipe about two weeks ago, it turned out very well well, the bottoms came off and we had to eat them upside down, but they tasted great

[@CakesbyMK]

So glad to hear you enjoyed the cupcakes :D sorry to hear the bottoms came off! This could be because the cupcakes were still a little too warm, or perhaps the tin needed a little extra greasing if you weren't using cupcake cases :D hopefully next time they'll stay together!

[@aartiemahase3953]

Hi MK so cupcakes are my favorite to do and I will try your recipe. Can this recipe be used for a regular cake or is to soft for that purpose?

Very nice recipe. I definitely will try it. What butter do you use and what brand of dark chocolate do you use for the frosting for those in Australia? Thank you so much 😊

Hi there! :D for butter I use Mainland, Pams, Anchor or Westgold, but any decent brand will work fine :) and for chocolate I use either Whittakers 50% dark chocolate or Cadbury old gold original! Hope that helps :D

Hey MK, thanks for the recipe just have a quick question which instant coffee mix would you recommend using? In the past I’ve used instant coffee before but didn’t like the taste due to the horrid weird taste of the instant coffee

[@pamela_ofuani]

This is awesome Can one try this using a hand mixer? For the swiss meringue?

[@CakesbyMK]

Thank you! :D And yes you totally can but it may take a little longer to reach stiff peaks so just be ready for an arm workout :D
