FUDGY CHOCOLATE CUPCAKES (OR CAKE)



Fudgy Chocolate Cupcakes (Or Cake) image

There was an o.k. recipe here on Zaar that I have worked on and changed to make these truly amazingly rich and chocolatey cupcakes. Don't be scared of the tiny bit of coffee it only deepens the flavor of the chocolate. These don't require any frosting but the kids love it with frosting and some colored sprinkles so that's what I typically do. I like to use my lazy version of Recipe #19353 (a little bit of this, a little bit of that) and they always look and taste wonderful. As an added bonus this has no shortening, butter, or margarine (all those bad trans-fats) but amazingly enough they still taste fattening.

FUDGY CHOCOLATE CUPCAKES



Fudgy Chocolate Cupcakes image

One of my favorite grains to eat is quinoa. It contains all the amino acids required to make a complete protein. Plus, it's high in fiber. In baking, though, the flour can be tricky to work with due to its distinctive flavor. Not in this recipe. The quinoa is no match for the rich chocolate flavor and aroma in this superprotein cupcake that's moist and fudgy. P.S.: They're gluten-free and low-fat, too.

Yield serves 12 (makes 12 cupcakes)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/4 cup unsalted butter or nonhydrogenated butter substitute
1/2 cup water
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
3/4 cup light agave nectar
1 1/4 cups quinoa flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
2 large eggs, separated
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup nonfat plain yogurt or unsweetened soy yogurt
Vanilla Buttercream Frosting (page 106), Fat-Free Vanilla Yogurt Frosting (page 107), Vegan Chocolate Buttercream Frosting (page 109), or Vanilla Buttercream Frosting (page 106)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a cupcake pan with 12 paper liners.
  • Place the butter and water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil and remove from heat. Whisk in the cocoa powder and agave nectar. Let cool to room temperature.
  • In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add the cooled cocoa mixture, egg yolks, vanilla extract, and yogurt to the flour and mix well. In a separate bowl, using an electric mixer at medium speed, beat the egg whites until stiff, but not dry, approximately 2 minutes. Gently fold into the batter.
  • Spoon the batter into the prepared cupcake pan and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean. Frost the cupcakes with the frosting of your choice.

1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
¼ cup white sugar
1 large egg, beaten
½ cup semisweet chocolate chips
¾ cup unsalted butter
⅔ cup semisweet chocolate chips
1 ¼ teaspoons vanilla extract
4 large eggs
1 ½ cups white sugar

  • Place butter, chocolate chips, and vanilla extract for the cupcakes in the top of a double boiler over simmering water. Stir frequently, scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching, until chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow to cool slightly.
  • Beat eggs in a large bowl with a whisk or an electric mixer until frothy. Beat in sugar gradually until it dissolves. Slowly beat in flour. Fold in the cooled chocolate mixture. Fill the prepared cupcake liners 1/3 full with chocolate batter. Drop a heaping teaspoon of filling onto each cupcake, then cover with a generous spoonful of batter.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until tops spring back when lightly pressed, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool in the tins for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
