I have bookmarked this recipe of chocolate muffins from Here a long time back. It is a very easy and simple recipe and I was waiting for an occasion to make this yesterday I finally made these chocolate muffins for my daughter Varsha’s birthday and the muffins turned out very soft and moist and the addition of Orange juice adds up an exotic flavor to the muffins.Also check out my

Sift the flour, cocoa powder, and baking soda for even mixing. Keep it in a wide bowl after sifting.
In another bowl, add the oil, cold water, orange juice, vanilla essence, and lemon juice, and add the sugar and mix gently till the sugar dissolves.
When done, slowly transfer the wet mixture to the sifted flour and mix gently without any lumps.
If adding chocolate chips add at this stage. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C and arrange the muffin tray with muffin liners. Spoon the batter and bake for 12- 15 minutes.
Mine got done in 12 minutes. Check with a clean toothpick by inserting it in the middle of the muffin whether it is done or not. If it comes out clean then take it out and cool it on a wire rack and if not just bake it for a minute or two.
Note: The original recipe is for a cake recipe so you can try a cake also. Do not replace baking soda with baking powder, both are not the same and the result will not be the same. I used Hershey’s un-sweetened cocoa powder for making this eggless chocolate muffin.
