Categories     dessert

Time 45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for the pan
1/2 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1/4 cup Dutch-process cocoa powder
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup sugar
1 large egg plus 1 egg yolk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
6 fresh figs, halved
4 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
2 teaspoons honey, plus more for drizzling
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
Large pinch of kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper, plus more for topping

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Make the cakes: Brush a 6-cup muffin pan with olive oil and dust with flour. Whisk the cocoa powder and 1/4 cup hot water in a small bowl; let cool slightly. Combine the flour, salt and baking soda in another bowl.
  • Combine the sugar, egg and egg yolk, vanilla and lemon zest in a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment and beat on medium-high speed until pale and thick, about 1 minute. With the mixer running, drizzle in the olive oil. Add the cocoa mixture and beat until combined. Reduce the mixer speed to low, add the flour mixture and beat until just incorporated.
  • Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups. Bake 10 minutes, then top each cake with a fig half and continue baking until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few crumbs, 8 to 10 more minutes. Let cool in the pan on a rack, 20 minutes. Remove the cakes from the pan and let cool completely on the rack.
  • Make the glaze: Put the chocolate, honey, olive oil, salt and pepper in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring, until smooth.
  • Top the cakes with the glaze, a drizzle of honey and more pepper. Quarter the remaining 6 fig halves and arrange on top.

Tips:

  • To make sure your cupcakes are moist and fluffy, cream the butter and sugar together until light and airy. This will incorporate air into the batter, which will help the cupcakes rise.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in tough, dense cupcakes.
  • Be careful not to overbake the cupcakes. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly. A toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake should come out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
  • Allow the cupcakes to cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting to set properly.
  • If you do not have olive oil on hand, you can substitute another type of oil, such as vegetable oil or canola oil.
  • You can also use a different type of chocolate, such as semisweet chocolate or dark chocolate.
  • To make a gluten-free version of these cupcakes, use gluten-free flour.

Conclusion:

These chocolate olive oil cupcakes are a delicious and unique treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are moist and fluffy, with a rich chocolate flavor and a hint of olive oil. The frosting is light and creamy, and it perfectly complements the cupcakes. Whether you are a chocolate lover or just looking for something new to try, these cupcakes are sure to please.
