Mix cup of milk and teaspoon of vinegar in main mixing bowl. Set aside and let curdle.
In seperate bowl sift together cup of flour, 1/3 cup cocoa powder, 3/4 tsp bk soda, 1/2 tsp bk powder, 1/4 tsp salt. If you should be using the thermomix kitchen machine like me, you can use whole grain flour which breaks up nicely when mixing at speed 10 with the other dry ingredients
Add into main mixing bowl: 3/4 c sugar, 1/3 c oil, 1 tsp vanilla extract, 1/2 tsp amaretto
Beat liquids until foamy, e.g. with kitchen aid for 3 min at speed 4
Add curdled milk and stir
In 2 steps add flour mixture to liquid base and beat after each addition each time at max speed 2. All together for about 1 minute. Lumpy dough is just right
Fill into mini cupcake form. I got 34 out of this batch
Place into 175C oven. Mini cupcakes 13min; medium sized 15min; large ones 18 min. Toothpick should come out clean and top should be 'spongy' under light pressure
Out of oven and place on rack to cool for 5 minutes. Then turn over and let them plop out on their own. Place on rack for an hour or until completely cooled down. Now you can frost them.
Check my recipes for frostings that you might fancy. Vanilla buttercream goes well with them. Vegan or non-vegan. You choose!
