Time 1h5m

Yield Makes 24

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 tablespoons espresso powder
5 ounces semisweet chocolate, finely chopped (1 cup), plus more for grating
1 recipe Classic Yellow Cake Batter
1 1/3 cups sugar
5 large egg whites
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line 24 standard muffin cups with paper liners. In a small bowl, combine espresso powder and 2 teaspoons hot water. Stir espresso and chocolate into batter; divide among muffin cups. Bake until a toothpick inserted in center of a cupcake comes out with a few moist crumbs attached, about 20 minutes, rotating halfway through. Let cool in pans on wire racks 5 minutes, then transfer cupcakes to racks and let cool completely. (Unfrosted cupcakes may be stored, in airtight containers, at room temperature, up to 2 days.)
  • Set a large bowl over (not in) a pot of barely simmering water. Add sugar, egg whites, and cream of tartar and whisk constantly until mixture is warm and frothy and sugar is dissolved, about 4 minutes. Remove bowl from heat and, using an electric mixer, beat on medium until soft peaks form, about 4 minutes. Increase speed to high and beat until whites form medium-stiff, glossy peaks, about 3 minutes.
  • Transfer frosting to a large zip-top bag and snip a 1/4-inch hole in one corner. Frost cupcakes, then finely grate some chocolate on top.

2 cups cake flour (see Cook's Note)
3/4 cup Dutch-process cocoa powder (see Cook's Note)
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
3/4 cup buttermilk, at room temperature
3/4 cup warm coffee
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
6 ounces semisweet chocolate chips or semisweet chocolate (64-percent cacao), chopped
2 sticks (16 tablespoons) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup confectioners' sugar
2 teaspoons Dutch-process cocoa powder
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla paste or extract

Steps:

  • For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line two 12-cup muffin tins with paper liners.
  • Whisk together the cake flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer. Whisk together the buttermilk, coffee, oil, eggs and vanilla in a separate bowl.

CAPPUCCINO CUPCAKES



Cappuccino Cupcakes image

Love coffee and chocolate? Then you'll love these Cappuccino Cupcakes, one of ten cupcake recipes in the April 2006 issue of the Australian magazine 'super food ideas'.

Provided by bluemoon downunder

Categories     Dessert

Time 30m

Yield 12 cupcakes

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 teaspoon instant coffee powder
1 tablespoon butter, melted
1 egg
2 tablespoons caster sugar
2 tablespoons self-raising flour
1/4 cup plain flour
40 g good quality dark chocolate, grated
1 cup thickened cream
1 teaspoon drinking chocolate
1 teaspoon cocoa powder
cocoa powder, to serve
chocolate-covered coffee beans, to serve

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 180°C and line a 12-hole (2 tablespoon capacity) flat-based cupcake or patty pan with paper cases.
  • Dissolve the coffee in 1 tablespoon of hot water in a small jug and stir in the butter.
  • Using an electric hand mixer, beat the egg and sugar in a medium-sized bowl until pale and thick; sift the flours together over the egg mixture and using a large metal spoon, gently fold in until just combined; gently stir in the coffee mixture and the grated chocolate.
  • Half fill each paper case with the mixture and bake for 15-18 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the centre of one of the cupcakes comes out clean.
  • Leave the cupcakes standing in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool.
  • Using an electric mixer, beat the cream until it is thick; sift the drinking chocolate and cocoa over the cream and fold it through the cream to create a marbled effect; spoon the cream mixture over the cupcakes, dust with extra cocoa and top each cupcake with a chocolate-coated coffee bean.

Tips:

  • For a richer cappuccino flavor, use a combination of brewed espresso and strong coffee. Instant coffee or coffee extract can also be used.
  • If you don't have cappuccino mix, you can make your own by combining equal parts instant coffee powder, cocoa powder, and sugar.
  • Be sure to sift the dry ingredients together before adding them to the wet ingredients. This will help prevent lumps and ensure a smooth batter.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can lead to tough, dense cupcakes.
  • Fill the cupcake liners only about 2/3 full. This will help prevent the cupcakes from overflowing in the oven.
  • Bake the cupcakes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking can lead to dry, crumbly cupcakes.
  • Allow the cupcakes to cool completely before frosting.
  • For the chocolate ganache, be sure to use high-quality chocolate. The better the chocolate, the better the ganache will taste.
  • Allow the ganache to cool slightly before pouring it over the cupcakes. If the ganache is too hot, it will melt the frosting.

Conclusion:

These cappuccino chocolate cupcakes are a delicious and indulgent treat that are perfect for any occasion. The moist, fluffy cupcakes are packed with cappuccino flavor, and the rich chocolate ganache is the perfect finishing touch. With their elegant appearance and delicious taste, these cupcakes are sure to impress your friends and family.
