Chocolate muffins.....

My first post....

as i have finally decided to start blogging, i thought of wt my first post should be. And felt it would only be right to start blogging with the recipe that started my food photography craze. i had only photographed this with the intention of showing it off to my brothers and making them jealous, but the pic came out so good that after thins i ended up wanting to photograph all my desserts.

this is a very basic muffin recipe that i found on joyofbaking, and my motto is to always find the simplest of recipes. if a simple recipe gives you delicious muffins why even try a more complicated one.
The chocolate sauce that i drizzled on top..was absolutely delicious, rich, creamy and oh so chocolatey...my secret -  it was actually a devils food cake frosting recipe that i found on the net, but when i made it, it turned out really liquidy, and i didn't know how to thicken it enough to use as frosting....so instead i just used it as chocolate sauce and didn't tell anyone that it was meant to be frosting...haha ..

Chocolate sauce

Ingredients:-
125 ml water
30 g brown sugar
175 g butter, cubed
300 g dark chocolate, chopped

Put water, brown sugar, and butter in a pan over low heat to melt. when the mixture begins to bubble, take the pan off the heat and add the chopped chocolate, swirling the pan so that all the chocolate is hit with the heat. leave it for a minute to melt before whisking till smooth and glossy.
Note- to make frosting reduce the water to around 80 ml. leave the mixture for about an hour whisking now and again and refrigerate before using.
