Time 2h5m

Yield 24 cupcakes

Number Of Ingredients 28

2 1/4 cups granulated sugar
1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon salted butter
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
4 large eggs
1 tablespoon Madagascar vanilla extract
2 3/4 cups cake flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
3/4 cup milk
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
3/4 cup hot water
1/2 cup salted butter
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup hot water
4 cups powdered sugar
2 pounds plus 1 cup powdered sugar
1 cup milk
1 teaspoon Madagascar vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1 cup salted butter, cut into 1/2-inch slices
2 1/4 cups shortening
1 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup heavy cream, at room temperature
3 1/2 tablespoons salted butter
1 teaspoon fine sea salt
2 1/2 cups buttercream base frosting
1 cup powdered sugar
1/2 cup salted caramel

Steps:

  • For the chocolate cupcakes: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 24-cup muffin pan with cupcake liners.
  • Cream the granulated sugar, butter and oil in a large bowl. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until fluffy. Add the vanilla and blend well. Sift the flour, baking soda and sea salt and gradually add to the sugar mixture, alternating with the milk.
  • Whisk the cocoa and water until smooth in a small bowl. Add to the mixture and continue beating until well blended.
  • Fill each muffin cup three-quarters full with batter. Bake the cupcakes until baked through the center, about 15 minutes. Remove the cupcakes from the pan and cool on wire racks.
  • For the chocolate fudge filling: Melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Whisk the cocoa and water until smooth in a separate bowl. Whisk the cocoa mixture into the butter until blended and smooth. Whisk in the powdered sugar until fluffy. Yield: 2 cups.
  • For the buttercream base frosting: Whip the powdered sugar, milk, vanilla and sea salt with a whisk attachment on low until smooth and creamy. Add the butter one slice at a time until well blended. Add the shortening and blend well. Whip on high until the mixture doubles, 10 to 12 minutes. Yield: 8 cups.
  • For the salted caramel: Combine 1/4 cup room temperature water and the granulated sugar in a small saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat until the sugar dissolves. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring to a boil. Boil without stirring, until the mixture is approximately 325 degrees F and a deep amber color, 5 to 6 minutes.
  • Remove the caramel from the heat and whisk in the cream. The caramel will bubble violently. Once smooth, stir in the butter and fine sea salt. Transfer the caramel to a heat safe container and allow cooling for 15 minutes. Cover and refrigerate for up to 2 weeks. Yield: 1 1/2 cups.
  • For the salted caramel frosting: Whip 2 1/2 cups buttercream base frosting, the powdered sugar and 1/2 cup salted caramel with a whisk attachment until fluffy. Yield: 3 cups.
  • Once the cupcakes are cool, cut out the center of each cupcake and fill with the chocolate fudge filling. Top each cupcake with the salted caramel frosting.

CHOCOLATE CUPCAKES WITH CREAM FILLING



Chocolate Cupcakes With Cream Filling image

Here is a homemade take on the Hostess Cupcake, the sweet, well-preserved treat that was lost, for a while, to the wilds of bankruptcy. They take a little time to make, but are well worth it. (Don't skimp on the Marshmallow Fluff!) Wrapping the finished items individually in cellophane allow eaters to experience the twinkly crinkle of childhood afternoons spent carefully removing the chocolate frosting from the cupcake's top. But these are decidedly not the original. Whatever you do, make sure they're stored in something airtight. They will dry out quickly.

Time 1h

Yield 1 dozen.

Number Of Ingredients 16

Nonstick vegetable oil spray
80 grams (1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons) cake flour
30 grams (1/3 cup) Dutch process cocoa
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
Pinch of salt
2 large eggs, separated
3/4 cup canola oil
110 grams (1/2 cup) plus 2 tablespoons sugar
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
165 grams (1 1/2 cups) confectioners' sugar
3/4 cup Marshmallow Fluff
2 tablespoons heavy cream
1/4 cup heavy cream
4 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, at room temperature.

Steps:

  • For the cakes: Heat oven to 350 degrees. Coat the interior of a 12-cup muffin pan with nonstick spray.
  • In a medium bowl, sift together the cake flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Using a mixer, beat the egg yolks with the oil, .5 cup of the sugar and 2 tablespoons water. With the mixer at low speed, add the cake flour mixture and beat until smooth; set aside.
  • In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar and beat until stiff and glossy. Mix .25 of the whites into the batter, then fold in the remaining whites until no streaks remain. Divide the batter among the muffin cups, filling them halfway. Bake until risen and lightly firm, about 15 minutes. Allow to cool for 5 minutes, then turn out onto a rack to cool completely.
  • For the filling: Using a mixer, beat together the butter, confectioners' sugar and Marshmallow Fluff. Add cream and beat just until smooth. Fit a pastry bag with a round .25-inch tip, and fill bag with all but .25 cup of the filling. (Put the extra .25 cup in a pastry bag fitted with a .125-inch round tip, or in a small Ziplock bag, and reserve.) Plunge the tip into the side of a cupcake, filling just until you feel the cupcake swell. Repeat with remaining cupcakes.
  • For the frosting: Heat the cream just until bubbles begin to form on the edges of the pan, add the chocolate and remove from heat. Stir until melted and smooth. Add the butter, stirring to combine. Dip the top of a cupcake into the frosting, flip and set aside. Repeat with remaining cupcakes. Allow frosting to set, about 20 minutes.
  • With the small pastry bag of filling, or snipping a tiny corner off the Ziplock bag, pipe a tiny squiggle across the top of each cupcake. Place in an airtight container until serving.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Cupcake Recipes

Time 1h45m

Yield Makes 12

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature, plus more for muffin tins
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, plus more for muffin tins
2 cups all-purpose flour, (spooned and leveled)
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups sugar
3 large eggs, room temperature
1 cup sour cream, room temperature
1 1/2 cups marshmallow creme (7.5-ounce jar)
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter two 6-cup (each with a 1-cup capacity) jumbo muffin pans; dust with cocoa powder to coat, tapping out excess. In a medium bowl, whisk together cocoa, flour, baking powder, soda, and salt.
  • Using an electric mixer, beat butter and sugar until light. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. On low speed, add half the flour mixture, followed by sour cream, ending with remaining flour mixture; mix just until incorporated (do not overmix).
  • Divide batter among prepared muffin cups. Bake until a toothpick inserted in center of a cupcake comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes, rotating pans halfway through baking. Cool in pans, 5 minutes; remove cupcakes and cool, right side up, on a wire rack.
  • Meanwhile, prepare filling: In a medium bowl, whisk marshmallow creme and butter until smooth. Chill until slightly firm, 15 to 30 minutes. Transfer mixture to a heavy-duty resealable plastic bag, and seal; cut off one corner of the bag to make a 1/8-inch opening.
  • Using a small melon baller, scoop out center of each cupcake from the bottom, and reserve (you will use this to plug cupcake after filling). Hollow out each cupcake a bit more, discarding crumbs. Insert tip of plastic bag into each cavity, and squeeze to fill; replace plugs. Using remaining filling in plastic bag, decorate top of cupcakes.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all the ingredients and equipment you need. This will help you stay organized and avoid any mishaps.
  • Measure Accurately: Baking is a science, so it's important to measure your ingredients accurately. Use a kitchen scale to weigh your ingredients for the best results.
  • Don't Overmix: Overmixing can make your cupcakes tough and dense. Mix your batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Fill Cupcake Liners Properly: Fill your cupcake liners about 2/3 full to prevent them from overflowing. This will also help them bake evenly.
  • Bake at the Right Temperature: Make sure your oven is preheated to the correct temperature before you bake your cupcakes. This will help them rise evenly and prevent them from drying out.
  • Let Cupcakes Cool Completely: Before you frost your cupcakes, let them cool completely. This will help the frosting to set properly and prevent it from melting.

Conclusion:

Chocolate cream-filled cupcakes with fudge icing are a delicious and decadent treat that are perfect for any occasion. With a moist chocolate cake, creamy filling, and rich fudge icing, these cupcakes are sure to be a hit. Follow these tips and you'll be able to make perfect chocolate cream-filled cupcakes every time.
