WW Marble Cup Cakes

 Ingredients:

Dry Ingredients:

• Whole Wheat flour - 1 1/4 cup
• Milk powder - 3 tbsp
• Baking Powder - 2 tsp
• Baking soda - 1/2 tsp

Wet Ingredients:

• Cold Butter - 1/2 cup
• Powdered sugar - 3/4 cup, packed
• Milk* - 1 cup (Should be warm)
• Vanilla extract - 1 tsp

Other Ingredients:

• Cocoa Powder - 2 tbsp dissolved in 2 tbsp of hot water

*Here I used White Whole Wheat flour, if using Atta we might need additional 1-2 tbsp of milk

Method:

1. Pre heat oven to 350°F
2. Grease the muffin pans / line with muffin liners
   
3. In a sieve add the dry ingredients (Wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder and milk powder) and sieve them into a bowl and keep it ready
   
4. In a mixing bowl, add the chopped cold butter and powdered sugar and beat it well till the sugar gets dissolved and become creamy texture
   
   
   
   
5. To this add the remaining 1 cup of warm milk and beat well
   
6. To this add the vanilla extract and mix well
   
7. Now add the sifted flour into the wet ingredients and gently mix it up to form a batter
   
8. In a small bowl dissolve 2 tbsp of cocoa powder in equal amount of hot water
   
9. Divide the batter into two equal parts; one for vanilla flavour and the other for chocolate flavour
10. For vanilla layer, we will just keep the prepared batter as such
    
11. For chocolate layer, add the dissolved cocoa powder mix into the other half of the batter and mix well to combine
    
12. In the muffin cups, add 1 spoon of vanilla batter
    
13. Then add 1 spoon of chocolate batter
    
14. Again add 1 spoon of vanilla and followed by chocolate batter
    
    
    
    
15. We can bake as such to get the marbled effect
16. If we want, we can also make swirling pattern; using a tooth pick, just swirl the batter gently so that we can view a beautiful swirl pattern
    
    
    
    
17. Bake for around 20-30 minutes (depend on the size of the muffins), or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean 
    
    
    
    
18. Cool for about 10 minutes in the pan and then remove from pan to cooling rack

    

    So soft!!!
