1 ½ cups unsweetened dark cocoa powder, sifted
⅔ cup whole milk, room temperature
4 teaspoons vanilla extract
½ teaspoon kosher salt
½ cup Fisher® Chef's Naturals Walnut Halves & Pieces

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line 2 12-cup muffin tins with paper liners and grease with butter spray.
  • Make the base carrot cupcake batter: In a food processor, process the carrots until finely chopped.
  • In a large bowl, whip the butter with an electric hand mixer on medium speed until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the granulated and brown sugars, and beat until smooth, about 2 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  • In a small bowl, beat together the eggs and vanilla extract.
  • Add the egg mixture to the butter mixture in thirds, beating on medium speed between each addition until fully incorporated.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in thirds, beating on low speed between each addition until incorporated.
  • Add the coconut oil and beat on medium-low speed for 1 minute, until fluffy.
  • Finish making the cupcakes according to your desired variation.
  • For the Double Chocolate Carrot Cupcakes: When making the batter, add the cocoa powder and allspice to the dry ingredients. Gently fold in the carrots and finely chopped Fisher Walnuts. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared muffin cups, filling each about ¾ of the way full. Bake the cupcakes for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean. Remove the cupcakes from the oven and let cool completely before frosting.
  • Meanwhile, make the chocolate buttercream frosting: In a large bowl, whip the butter with an electric hand mixer on medium speed until fluffy, 2 minutes. Add half of the powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and milk at a time, beating on low speed between each addition until just incorporated. Add the vanilla and salt, and mix until fully incorporated and the frosting is smooth. Transfer the frosting to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  • To frost, place the tip of the piping bag at an angle at the edge of each cupcake and squeeze, rotating the cupcake and working toward the center, until covered in frosting. Repeat with the remaining cupcakes. Garnish each cupcake with a few Fisher Walnuts.

Categories     Desserts

Yield 12 cupcakes

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 cup all purpose flour
⅓ cup cocoa powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1 cup brown sugar
½ cup vegetable oil
½ cup buttermilk
1 tablespoon tamarind paste
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
⅓ cup dark chocolate, chopped
4 egg whites
¾ cup sugar
¼ teaspoon cream of tartar, (or xanthan gum), optional
dark chocolate, for grating
cinnamon stick, for grating
Red and green sprinkle

Steps:

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Begin by making your cupcakes. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt to evenly combine. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, oil, buttermilk, tamarind, and vanilla extract to evenly combine. Then, add the dry ingredients to the wet bowl and whisk just until the mixture comes together evenly. Fold in the chopped chocolate, then divide the mixture evenly amongst 12 paper-lined muffin tins. Place the filled baking cups into muffin tins or onto a sheet tray, then place in the oven to bake for 19 - 21 minutes, or until a sharp knife comes out clean when testing the cupcake. Remove cooked cupcakes and allow them to cool completely.
  • While the cupcakes cool, make your meringue. In a heatproof bowl, whisk the egg whites, sugar, and cream of tartar together evenly. Place the bowl over a pot of gently simmering water and whisk well for 2 minutes to fully dissolve the sugar into the mixture. Remove from the heat then start to whip the egg white mixture. Using a hand mixer (or transfer to a stand mixer with the whisk attachment) whisk the egg white mixture on high for 9 - 10 minutes, or until glossy and stiff peaks form. Transfer the whipped meringue to a piping bag fitted with your choice of shaped tip. When the cupcakes have cooled, begin piping your cupcakes. Garnish with extra shaved chocolate on top, freshly grated cinnamon, and some red or green sprinkles. Enjoy!
