This is such an easy and yet, an amazing recipe. I decided to bake a chocolate cupcake and when I came across this recipe I was little skeptical about the texture and moistness as this did not contain egg. Eggs play a very important role in defining the texture of baked goods. The reason I went ahead with this recipe was because it had lovely reviews. So calling all those who want to bake but are scared of the outcome. ‘You cannot go wrong with this’. I gave this recipe to a friend of mine, who was a first time baker and told her this is a foolproof recipe. Her cake turned out awesome. I remember my baking disasters. After my initial baking a couple of times and unsuccessful attempts I did not bake for another 2-3 years. But I loved baking, so did my homework, did some research and tried some good and trustworthy recipes and my baked goods started coming out good. Now it has come to a point where everybody has really started appreciating.
