Categories     dessert

Time 42m

Yield about 18 cupcakes

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup whole milk
2/3 cup malted milk powder (recommended: Carnation brand)
1/2 teaspoon espresso powder
2/3 cup canola oil
2 large eggs
2/3 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup miniature chocolate chips
4 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
1 1/2 cups unsalted butter, softened
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
3 to 4 tablespoons whipping cream
2/3 cup tart cherry preserves
Malted milk balls or maraschino cherries, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 regular 12-cup cupcake tins with paper liners.
  • In a large bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Whisk until well blended.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, malted milk powder, and espresso powder. Add the canola oil and eggs; whisk to blend. Add the milk mixture to the flour mixture and beat until smooth. Add the sour cream and vanilla and beat until well combined. Stir in the miniature chocolate chips.
  • Divide the batter among the prepared cupcake tins, filling only halfway full. Bake the cupcakes for 15 to 17 minutes, until they spring back when touched and a toothpick inserted into the center emerges clean.
  • While the cupcakes bake, prepare the buttercream. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, mix together the sugar and the butter on medium-low speed until well blended. Add the vanilla and whipping cream and beat on medium speed for 2 minutes, until light, spreadable and fluffy. Beat in the cherry preserves until well incorporated.
  • When the cupcakes have finished baking, let sit in the pans for 2 minutes and then transfer the cupcakes to wire racks to cool for 10 minutes more.
  • While the cupcakes cool, transfer the buttercream to a pastry bag fitted with a large star tip. Alternatively, you can frost the cupcakes with a knife or offset spatula. When the cupcakes have cooled, pipe the buttercream in decorative swirls on top of the cupcake (or swirl with a spatula). Garnish the top of each cupcake with a malted milk ball or cherry and serve.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: This will make a big difference in the taste of your buttercream. Look for good chocolate, real butter, and fresh cream.
  • Make sure your butter is at room temperature: This will make it easier to cream together with the sugar. If your butter is too cold, it will be difficult to mix and the buttercream will be grainy.
  • Don't overbeat the buttercream: Overbeating can cause the buttercream to become stiff and grainy. Beat it just until it is smooth and creamy.
  • If the buttercream is too thick, add a little bit of milk or cream: This will help to thin it out.
  • If the buttercream is too thin, add a little bit of powdered sugar: This will help to thicken it up.

Conclusion:

Double chocolate European-style buttercream is a delicious and versatile frosting that can be used on cakes, cupcakes, and other desserts. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can make the perfect buttercream every time.
