WHOLEWHEAT CUPCAKES

July 20, 2016 By ashavenugopal 1 Comment

Generally wholewheat cupcakes or cakes are dense. Although healthier than the cakes using all purpose flour, the density of the cakes puts many off. My family loves this version of wholewheat cupcakes since it tastes yummy and also because it is fluffy and less dense . It is a variant of the lemon cupcakes i had posted earlier.

I won’t say this cupcake is totally guilt free since I’ve topped it with chocolate ganache. I added the ganache for my son since he loves cupcakes with it. I usually send wholewheat cupcakes in his snack box without any icing. But every once in way i like to treat him.

While am a novice in the matters of cake decoration, the taste of cupcakes have not been compromised.The recipe for chocolate ganache has been adapted from Natasha’s kitchen. Pour the ganache on top of the cupcakes (which are at room temperature) when its still warm. The more the ganache cools the thicker it gets and will become difficult to spread.
