We mixed sour cream into the batter to add moistness and a subtle tang. Silky smooth ganache makes a rich topping; other options include seven-minute frosting and cream-cheese frosting. The chocolate curls are easily made with a few strokes of a vegetable peeler.

Yield Makes 32

Number Of Ingredients 13

3/4 cup unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder
3/4 cup hot water
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 1/4 teaspoons coarse salt
1 1/2 cups (3 sticks) unsalted butter
2 1/4 cups sugar
4 large eggs, room temperature
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup sour cream, room temperature
Chocolate Ganache Frosting
Chocolate Curls for Devil's Food Cupcakes, for decorating (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line standard muffin tins with paper liners. Whisk together cocoa and hot water until smooth. In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  • Melt butter with sugar in a saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring to combine. Remove from heat, and pour into a mixing bowl. With an electric mixer on medium-low speed, beat until mixture is cooled, 4 to 5 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating until each is incorporated, scraping down sides of bowl as needed. Add vanilla, then cocoa mixture, and beat until combined. Reduce speed to low. Add flour mixture in two batches, alternating with the sour cream, and beating until just combined after each.
  • Divide batter evenly among lined cups, filling each three- quarters full. Bake, rotating tins halfway through, until a cake tester inserted in centers comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Transfer tins to wire racks to cool 15 minutes; turn out cupcakes onto racks and let cool completely. Cupcakes can be stored overnight at room temperature, or frozen up to 2 months, in airtight containers.
  • To finish, use a small offset spatula to spread cupcakes with frosting.

DEVIL'S FOOD CUPCAKES

Devilish dark cupcakes with a bittersweet chocolaty glaze, these little guys are the perfect sinister snack.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     dessert

Time 1h45m

Yield 12 cupcakes

Number Of Ingredients 17

Cooking spray
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
Fine salt
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (not Dutch-process)
1/2 cup milk
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
10 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup sugar
2 large eggs plus 2 large egg yolks, at room temperature
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
2 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
1 teaspoon honey
Pinch fine salt
24 red fruit-punch-flavored chews, such as Tootsie Frooties
2 red licorice laces

Steps:

  • For the cupcakes: Position an oven rack in the center of the oven, and preheat to 350 degrees F. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners, and lightly coat with cooking spray.
  • Whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl; set aside.
  • Bring the cocoa powder, milk and 1/2 cup water to a simmer in a small saucepan over medium heat, and whisk until the cocoa dissolves into a smooth, thicker mixture, about 3 minutes. Stir in the vanilla, and set aside until just slightly warm to the touch.
  • Beat the butter and sugar on medium-high speed in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment (or in a large bowl if using a handheld mixer) until combined and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs and egg yolks one at a time, beating to incorporate after each addition. Continue to beat while slowly pouring the cocoa mixture into the bowl (be sure to scrape out any cocoa that coats the saucepan) just until incorporated, scraping down the side of the bowl as needed. Reduce the speed to medium, add the flour mixture and beat until just incorporated. Remove the bowl from the stand, and finish stirring by hand to avoid overmixing.
  • Divide the batter evenly among the lined muffin cups, and bake until the cupcakes bounce back when gently pressed and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 18 to 20 minutes. Let cool in the pan for a few minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool completely.
  • For the glaze: Combine the butter, chocolate, honey and salt in a small microwave-safe bowl, cover with plastic wrap and poke a hole in it to vent. Microwave on high (at 100 percent power) for about 1 minute, until the butter and most of the chocolate is melted. Whisk until smooth, and let cool, 15 to 20 minutes. Dip the top of each cupcake in the glaze, and let it set up, about 30 minutes.
  • Decorate the cupcakes: Pinch each fruit chew into a curved horn shape with pointed ends. Cut the licorice laces into twelve 5-inch pieces, and snip 1 end of each to make a Y-shaped tail. Press two horns into the top of each cupcake, and press a tail into the back of each cupcake.

Nutrition Facts : ServingSize 1 Serving

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start baking, measure and prepare all of your ingredients. This will help you stay organized and ensure that you don't miss anything.
  • Use a kitchen scale: Weighing your ingredients is more accurate than measuring them by volume. This is especially important for baking, where precise measurements are essential.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make your cupcakes tough and dense. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Fill the cupcake liners only 2/3 full: This will prevent the cupcakes from overflowing in the oven.
  • Bake the cupcakes at the right temperature: The ideal temperature for baking cupcakes is 350 degrees Fahrenheit. If you bake them at a higher temperature, they will brown too quickly and may be undercooked in the center.
  • Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting them: This will help the frosting to set properly.

Conclusion:

These chipotle devil's food mini cupcakes are a delicious and festive treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a little planning and effort, you can create a truly unique and memorable dessert that your friends and family will love.
