Blueberry Muffins... Again :)

I haven't posted any recipes and pictures here in my blog for such a long time because I have been busy with lots of things here at home.  Anyway, I was able to made some Blueberry Muffins this afternoon for our merienda and really loved it! :) 

Chocolate Butter Cupcake

This is just a simple recipe that we can serve on special occasions or even just for snacks. We made it on October 31, 2011 for All Saint's Day and brought it in the cemetery to celebrate it with my other relatives. You can use any chocolate frosting that you like to make it more chocolicious! :)


3 cups flour
3/4 cup shortening
1 1/8 cups cocoa
1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
3 cups sugar
3 eggs, whole
1 1/8 cups boiling water
1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/8 cups buttermilk ( milk + 1 tbsp. vinegar )

Sift dry ingredients together. Cream the shortening, adding the sugar gradually until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add melted chocolate. Add flour alternately with buttermilk and water. Add vanilla. Pour into prepared pan. Bake at 350F for 40 - 50 minutes.

Blueberry Muffins

My sister sent this Blueberry Muffins Mix from Australia and we decided to make muffins for our snack! I love it because it's not that sweet! Yummy....
