DEVIL'S FOOD CUPCAKES

We mixed sour cream into the batter to add moistness and a subtle tang. Silky smooth ganache makes a rich topping; other options include seven-minute frosting and cream-cheese frosting. The chocolate curls are easily made with a few strokes of a vegetable peeler.

Yield Makes 32

Number Of Ingredients 13

3/4 cup unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder
3/4 cup hot water
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 1/4 teaspoons coarse salt
1 1/2 cups (3 sticks) unsalted butter
2 1/4 cups sugar
4 large eggs, room temperature
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup sour cream, room temperature
Chocolate Ganache Frosting
Chocolate Curls for Devil's Food Cupcakes, for decorating (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line standard muffin tins with paper liners. Whisk together cocoa and hot water until smooth. In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  • Melt butter with sugar in a saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring to combine. Remove from heat, and pour into a mixing bowl. With an electric mixer on medium-low speed, beat until mixture is cooled, 4 to 5 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating until each is incorporated, scraping down sides of bowl as needed. Add vanilla, then cocoa mixture, and beat until combined. Reduce speed to low. Add flour mixture in two batches, alternating with the sour cream, and beating until just combined after each.
  • Divide batter evenly among lined cups, filling each three- quarters full. Bake, rotating tins halfway through, until a cake tester inserted in centers comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Transfer tins to wire racks to cool 15 minutes; turn out cupcakes onto racks and let cool completely. Cupcakes can be stored overnight at room temperature, or frozen up to 2 months, in airtight containers.
  • To finish, use a small offset spatula to spread cupcakes with frosting.

Categories     dessert

Yield 8 cupcakes

Number Of Ingredients 18

Paper cupcake liners
1/2 cup whole-grain pastry flour
1/2 cup cake flour
1/2 cup natural cocoa
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup reduced-fat sour cream
1/4 cup lowfat buttermilk
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup canola oil
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
1 egg
1 egg white
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
1 tablespoon nonfat milk, plus more if needed
1 1/2 ounces dark chocolate (60 to 70 percent cocoa solids) finely chopped
1 1/2 tablespoons whipped cream cheese
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Place rack in center of oven and preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Place a cupcake liner into each section of an 8-cupcake tin. Whisk together flours, cocoa, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl and reserve. Combine sour cream and buttermilk in a small bowl and reserve. Combine butter, oil and brown sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer and mix on high speed, scraping down sides of bowl, until sugar has dissolved and mixture is light in color, about 1 minute. Add egg and egg white and beat an additional 1 minute. Add 1/3 of flour-cocoa mixture, then 1/3 sour cream buttermilk mixture, mixing well after each addition. Repeat with remaining dry and wet ingredients. Distribute batter evenly among 8 cupcake tins. Bake for 15 to 17 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into cupcake comes out clean. Let cupcakes cool slightly, transfer to wire racks and cool completely, 10 to15 minutes.
  • Combine confectioners' sugar and milk in a small saucepan and heat over low heat until sugar is dissolved. Add chocolate and stir until melted and icing is the consistency of thick pancake batter; add more milk if necessary. While still warm, top each cupcake with 1 1/2 to 2 teaspoons icing. Let icing harden completely, about 10 minutes.
  • Place cream cheese in a small microwave-save bowl and microwave on high for approximately 10 to 15 seconds, until cream cheese is melted but before it begins to bubble. Add confectioners' sugar and stir until sugar is dissolved. Let mixture cool slightly and transfer to a small plastic bag. Snip just the very bottom corner of the bag, then force icing to bottom of bag. Pipe a squiggle of icing down the center of each cupcake.

DEVIL'S FOOD CUPCAKES W/CHOCOLATE GANACHE FROSTING & CENTERS



Devil's Food Cupcakes W/Chocolate Ganache Frosting & Centers image

These are the comments of the original poster of this recipe: "These cupcakes are my favorite cupcakes in the whole wide world. I could eat these every day for the rest of my life. If I met a man who could make these I would marry him. :) I made these for a poker party and a friend of mine cried when she tried them - they are that good. " First thing to keep in mind is that you have to make the Chocolate Ganache first. You need half of the frosting for the fillings which need to be set so you can turn it into little balls before you start with the batter. Chilling time for ganache is not included with cooking time.

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

13 ounces heavy cream
12 ounces bittersweet chocolate (I use a bag of chocolate chips)
1/3 cup cocoa (preferably, but not absolutely, Valrhona or Cocoa Barry Extract. Supermarket cheap stuff works also)
1 cup boiling water
1 teaspoon vanilla
3/4 cup mayonnaise (I use fat free and it works fine)
2 cups sifted cake flour (I rarely ever sift as I find that cake flour seems to always measure right. I know.. I should)
1 cup sugar
1 1/4 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • GANACHE:.
  • In a sauce pan bring your cream to a light boil.
  • Then pour in the chocolate and start stirring immediately.
  • Keep going until you have a smooth mixture.
  • At first this will seem like it's not working as the chocolate hasn't begun to mix with the cream.
  • Then, in second, it will start to form. Just give it time.
  • Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
  • Don't be tempted to taste throughout the cooling process as you're not supposed to touch the ganache until it sets.
  • Put ganache in fridge until you're ready to use.
  • If you're making these in a hurry, start making the batter.
  • If not, make the batter when you're ready to start baking your cupcakes.
  • CUPCAKES:.
  • Pre-heat oven to 375ºF.
  • Line cupcake tray with cupcake papers
  • Whisk together water and cocoa.
  • Set aside and let completely cool. (you can put this in the fridge too).
  • When cocoa mixture is cool, whisk in the mayonnaise and vanilla until smooth.
  • Meanwhile, combine dry ingredients in the bowl of an electric mixer and mix on low until combined.
  • Once mixed, increase speed to medium and beat in cocoa mixture for one minute.
  • The batter is supposed to be thin, but I've seen it thin/medium.
  • Poor batter into a measuring cup with a spout and fill each cupcake 1/4 the way full.
  • Now take out your ganache and with a spoon make a small ganache ball and set one ball in the center of each cupcake.
  • Continue to fill each cupcake until it's 3/4 the way full to prevent spilling batter.
  • Check to make sure your oven is at 375º and bake for 15-20 minutes until cupcakes are set.
  • Poke with a toothpick to confirm they are done.
  • The toothpick should slide out smoothly without any cake on it.
  • Once completely cooled (make sure you cool the cupcakes or your ganache will melt), frost with the rest of your ganache frosting.
  • You should have extra ganache left over - about a cup.

DEVIL'S FOOD CUPCAKES



Devil's Food Cupcakes image

Based on a recipe from Cook's Country magazine, February/March 2006. Makes 24 cupcakes, although it can be easily halved. The editors say, "If you don't have bar or block chocolate on hand, use semisweet chips in the cake and frosting." I frost these using recipe #414787 or recipe #414801. Did you know that unfrosted cupcakes can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days? They may also be individually wrapped in plastic and frozen in a zipper-lock bag for up to 1 month.
