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.

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.

Tips:

  • To achieve the perfect chocolate cupcakes, ensure your oven is preheated to the correct temperature and bake the cupcakes for the recommended time. Over or under baking can affect the texture and flavor of the cupcakes.
  • For a smooth and creamy marshmallow cream filling, use a high-quality marshmallow cream and beat it until it reaches a light and fluffy consistency. Avoid over-beating, as this can cause the filling to become stiff and grainy.
  • To neatly fill the cupcakes with the marshmallow cream, use a piping bag fitted with a small round tip. This will allow you to control the amount of filling and create a clean and professional look.
  • To create a glossy and shiny chocolate ganache, use a high-quality dark chocolate and heavy cream. Bring the cream to a simmer and pour it over the chocolate, stirring continuously until the chocolate is melted and smooth. Allow the ganache to cool slightly before pouring it over the cupcakes.
  • For a more decadent and indulgent cupcake, consider adding a layer of chocolate chips or chopped nuts to the batter before baking. This will give the cupcakes an extra burst of flavor and texture.
