Cocoa Cream Cheese Cupcakes

All my cupcake cups are hibernating for quite some time. It is time to utilize them now.

I made this moist cocoa cream cheese cupcake from 兔紙。I changed the assemble method by mixing everything into one mixture. So, there are no 2 layers (white and dark chocolate color). One more benefit is need not to use the cake mixer also can bake a moist cupcake.

Chocolate Muffins

I just upgraded my oven from 18L to 42L. Now, I have difficulty to handle this new oven. She is totally different from my previous oven. All the timing and temperature are not the same. I baked the first cake by using this new oven, and it is only cooked after 2 hours. :`|

I was trying to bake some nice muffins for tomorrow's charity sales but ended up all burnt. First all 20s were totally not edible and thrown into dustbin.
