MINI CHOCOLATE CUPCAKES



Mini Chocolate Cupcakes image

I'm very excited about this mini chocolate cupcake recipe. It saves time, money, and most of all, butter! I love using butter for cupcakes but it's pricey and you may notice your cupcake is a little dense if it's sitting out for a while. This recipe contains extra-virgin olive oil and no coffee. Use good quality cocoa powder because I do notice a difference when using generic. I hope you all enjoy it as much as I do! Happy baking!

Time 20m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 13

½ cup all-purpose flour
¼ cup light brown sugar
¼ cup white sugar
3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
¼ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
⅓ cup whole milk
1 egg
4 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
⅓ cup prepared chocolate pudding (such as Jell-O®)
¼ cup semisweet chocolate chips (such as Nestle® Toll House®), or to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 16 mini muffin cups with paper liners.
  • Mix flour, brown sugar, white sugar, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl. Break up clumps lightly with a whisk.
  • Mix milk, egg, oil, and vanilla extract together in a separate bowl until well incorporated. Whisk into the flour mixture until well incorporated and there are no clumps. Do not overmix the batter. Fold in pudding with a spatula while scraping the bottom of the bowl. Stir in chocolate chips; batter will be runny and not very thick.
  • Pour batter into the prepared cupcake cups with a Wilton® cookie scoop or measuring cup with a spout, filling each 2/3 full.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean, about 10 minutes.

Categories     dessert

Time 1h40m

Yield 24 mini cupcakes

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 ounces bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
1/4 cup Dutch-process unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1/4 cup hot brewed coffee
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 large egg plus 1 egg yolk
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Pinch of salt
8 ounces chopped bittersweet or semisweet chocolate

Steps:

  • Make the cupcakes: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line a 24-cup mini-muffin pan with paper liners. Combine the chocolate, cocoa powder and brown sugar in a large bowl; add the hot coffee and whisk until smooth. Let cool to room temperature.
  • Whisk the flour, granulated sugar, salt and baking soda in a medium bowl. Whisk the egg, egg yolk, vegetable oil, buttermilk and vanilla into the melted chocolate mixture. Add the flour mixture and whisk until smooth. Spoon a scant tablespoon of batter into each mini-muffin cup. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the centers comes out clean, about 15 minutes. Let cool a few minutes in the pan, then remove to a rack to cool completely.
  • Meanwhile, make the frosting: Combine the heavy cream, corn syrup, butter and salt in a medium saucepan and bring to a simmer. Remove from the heat; add the chocolate and whisk until smooth, then let cool to room temperature. Fill a large bowl halfway with ice water. Transfer the chocolate mixture to a medium bowl; then carefully place it in the ice water and let sit, stirring every few minutes, until the frosting is thick enough to spread, about 15 minutes.
  • Transfer the frosting to a pastry bag fitted with a large star tip and pipe onto the cupcakes.

Tips:

  • Use a cupcake pan specifically designed for mini cupcakes. This will ensure that the cupcakes bake evenly and consistently.
  • Line the cupcake pan with paper liners. This will make it easier to remove the cupcakes from the pan and will also help prevent them from sticking.
  • Do not overfill the cupcake liners. Fill each liner no more than 2/3 full.
  • Bake the cupcakes at the temperature and for the amount of time specified in the recipe. Overbaking or underbaking the cupcakes will result in dry or gooey cupcakes.
  • Allow the cupcakes to cool completely before frosting them. This will help prevent the frosting from melting.
  • If you are using a store-bought chocolate frosting, consider adding a little bit of coffee or espresso powder to enhance the chocolate flavor.
  • Be creative with your toppings! You can use sprinkles, chopped nuts, or even fresh berries to decorate your cupcakes.

Conclusion:

Chocolate bottom mini cupcakes are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With a moist and fluffy chocolate cake bottom and a rich and creamy chocolate frosting, these cupcakes are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
