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.

Categories     dessert

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.

Notes about the recipe: Here's a chocolate alternative to the perfect yellow cake for your wedding cupcakes. Vinegar keeps the cake tender as it inhibits gluten from developing when beating the flour in the batter.

Provided by Food Network

Categories     dessert

Time 4h35m

Yield 24 servings

Number Of Ingredients 25

1/2 cup butter
1 1/2 cups superfine sugar
1 1/2 cups cocoa powder
Pinch salt
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon instant coffee crystals
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Confectioners' sugar, as needed
4 ounces cream cheese
1/3 cup sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2/3 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups sugar
1/2 cup cocoa powder
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups hot water
3/4 cup vegetable oil
2 teaspoons white vinegar
1 tablespoon instant coffee crystals
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Regular or silver cupcake paper liners

Steps:

  • Make the Fudgy Frosting: Melt the butter in a large saucepan. Stir in the sugar, cocoa, and salt. (It may look grainy or sandy.) In a bowl combine the cream, sour cream and coffee. Whisk into the cocoa mixture and continue heating on low while stirring to dissolve the sugar grains. The mixture should get hot to the touch but never simmer or boil. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla. Let cool until it thickens and becomes spreadable, about 3 hours. If too thin, stir in some confectioners' sugar.
  • Make the Filling: In a standing mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream the cream cheese. Add the sugar, egg, and vanilla and blend. Add the chips and mix a few seconds on low to just fold in.
  • Make the Cupcakes: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients. In a large measuring cup combine the water, oil, vinegar, instant coffee, and vanilla. Whisk it into the dry ingredients until just combined and don't worry if there are a few lumps.
  • Line 2 muffin tins with cupcake papers and fill each 2/3 full of batter. Drop a heaping teaspoon of the filling into the center of each. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes. Cool the cupcakes completely. Frost the cupcakes with the frosting.

CHOCOLATE CUPCAKES WITH CREAM FILLING



Chocolate Cupcakes With Cream Filling image

I looked for a cupcake recipe online becuase I only had 2 eggs and the cake mix I had called for 3 eggs. I thought that the end result was worth the few extra minutes it took to put everything together. I made these for St. Patrick's Day. I doubled the filling recipe and used it for both the filling and the frosting. I tinted the filling green and I added a smidge (1/4 teaspoon) of mint extract.

Provided by Chicagopm

Categories     Dessert

Time 35m

Yield 36 cupcakes, 36 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 cups sugar
1 cup milk
1 cup oil
1 cup water
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups flour

2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup softened butter
1/4 cup white shortening (like Crisco)
2 cups powdered sugar
3 tablespoons milk
1 pinch salt
chocolate frosting (optional)

Steps:

  • Blend the sugar, milk, oil, water, eggs and vanilla until thoroughly blended.
  • Gradually blend the dry ingredients into the sugar mixture.
  • Fill the cupcake papers 1/2 to 2/3 full.
  • Bake at 375 degrees for 20 minutes or until they test done.
  • Cool completely.

Tips:

  • Ensure the oven temperature is accurate. Use an oven thermometer to check and adjust the temperature as needed.
  • Line the muffin tins with paper liners to prevent the cupcakes from sticking.
  • When mixing the batter, do not overmix. Overmixing can result in tough cupcakes.
  • Fill the cupcake liners 2/3 full. If the liners are filled too much, the cupcakes may overflow while baking.
  • Bake the cupcakes until they are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Allow the cupcakes to cool completely before filling them.
  • For the cream filling, use heavy cream with at least 36% fat content. This will ensure that the cream whips up properly.
  • Chill the cream and beaters before whipping the cream. This will help the cream whip up faster and achieve stiff peaks.
  • To prevent the cream filling from becoming grainy, do not overbeat it.
  • Use a piping bag fitted with a star tip to fill the cupcakes. This will create a decorative swirl.

Conclusion:
