Categories     dessert

Time 1h45m

Yield 24 cupcakes

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 cups cake flour
1 1/2 cups sugar
3/4 cup Dutch process cocoa powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 1/2 sticks (12 tablespoons) butter, room temperature
3/4 cup buttermilk
2 large eggs
2/3 cup freshly brewed coffee, cooled to room temperature
Chocolate Pudding Frosting, recipe follows
1 pint heavy whipping cream, very cold
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
One 3.9-ounce box dry pudding mix, chocolate fudge flavor

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Line two 12-cup muffin pans with cupcake liners and set aside.
  • Sift together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder and baking soda and add to the bowl of a stand mixer. Add the butter, buttermilk and eggs and beat on low until moistened. Raise the speed to medium and beat until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Add the coffee and beat until fully incorporated. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
  • Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean, 22 to 25 minutes. Transfer the pans to wire racks and allow the cupcakes to cool completely.
  • Remove the cupcakes from the muffin pans and spread each with frosting.
  • In a stand mixer fitted with a whip attachment, whip the cream at high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the sugar, vanilla extract and pudding mix and whip until smooth.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate for the cupcakes and frosting. This will make a big difference in the flavor of the final product.
  • Make sure to cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter, more tender cupcake.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in tough, dry cupcakes.
  • Bake the cupcakes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
  • Allow the cupcakes to cool completely before frosting them. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
  • For the chia pudding frosting, make sure to use a high-speed blender or food processor to blend the chia seeds until they are completely smooth. This will help to prevent the frosting from being grainy.
  • Chill the chia pudding frosting for at least 2 hours before using. This will help it to thicken and set.
  • When piping the frosting onto the cupcakes, use a large star tip to create a swirl design.

Conclusion:

These double chocolate cupcakes with salted chia pudding frosting are a delicious and decadent treat that is perfect for any occasion. The cupcakes are moist and chocolatey, and the frosting is light and fluffy with a subtle salty flavor. These cupcakes are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them!
