Chocolate Cupcakes with Rainbow Sprinkles are eggless cupcakes. These are first topped with homemade ganache and then with homemade sprinkles. These moist cupcakes are great for a kid’s birthday party!
For Ved’s Birthday, I felt my 9-inch Sachertorte would not suffice, so I decided to bake some cupcakes which can be handed over to the kids and create less mess than giving them slices.
I reduced the quantity of sugar. Also, after the addition of the dry & wet mixture, I felt the batter was too thick, so I increased the quantity of juice.
I spread some cooled ganache on top of it & decorated it with homemade Rainbow Sprinkles. The sprinkles looked beautiful but slightly crushed when I picked them up. I have used them for the first time so can’t say if that’s how they always behave.
The cupcakes were very tasty & kids ate loads of them. It was worth all the effort put in. Ganache is going to be my favorite go-to frosting for a kid’s party. :)
