Best 4 His And Hers Tuxedo Cupcake Recipes

HIS AND HERS TUXEDO CUPCAKE

Steps:

• For the cake batter: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a standard cupcake or muffin pan with 12 cupcake liners.
• Pour 1/2 cup water into a microwave-safe glass bowl and bring to a boil. In a large bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt and whisk until combined. Add the milk, vegetable oil, vanilla, egg and boiling water and whisk to combine. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and continue to whisk until all the ingredients are fully incorporated.
• Fill the liners three-quarters full with the batter and bake until cooked through, about 20 minutes. Cool the cupcakes completely before frosting.
• For the vanilla bean cream filling: Combine the granulated sugar, salt and egg whites in the bowl of a heavy-duty stand mixer and set the bowl over a medium saucepan of gently simmering water. Whisk until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is frothy and smooth and registers 160 degrees F on a candy thermometer, about 5 minutes.
• Transfer the bowl to the mixer and beat on high speed with a whisk attachment until the mixture has cooled completely and formed stiff and glossy peaks, about 7 minutes. With the mixer running, add the butter one piece at a time. Continue beating until all of the butter is incorporated and the mixture looks smooth. Separate out 1 cup of the buttercream and add the vanilla bean paste. Set aside for filling the cupcakes.
• For the espresso buttercream: Add the confectioners' sugar and espresso to the remaining buttercream and beat on low speed with a paddle attachment until smooth.
• For the chocolate shell: In small microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate and oil. Microwave on medium heat for 1 1/2 minutes, stirring halfway through. Cool completely before using.
• To assemble: Cut out a hole in each cupcake and fill with some vanilla bean cream filling. Frost each cupcake with some espresso buttercream. Refrigerate for about 15 minutes, and then dip half of each cupcake in the chocolate shell. Refrigerate again for about 10 minutes.

CHURRO CUPCAKE

Steps:

• For the cake batter: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line two 12-cup muffin pans with cupcake liners.
• In a medium bowl, sift together the flours, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream the sugar and butter on medium-high speed until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating until just incorporated. Beat in the vanilla. Reduce the mixing speed to low. Add the flour mixture in three batches, alternating with the milk. Beat until combined.
• Divide the batter evenly among the lined cups, filling each three-quarters full. Bake until a toothpick comes out clean, 18 to 20 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and cool completely.
• For the filling: Combine the sugar and 1 tablespoon water into a medium bowl over medium-high heat. Constantly stir until the sugar dissolves into a liquid form. The sugar will dissolve and start to turn brown. Once the sugar and water have completely dissolved, add in the butter and vanilla. Slowly whisk in the heavy cream. Let cool for 10 minutes. Refrigerate for 1 hour to let the caramel thicken before using.
• For the frosting: Beat the butter and cream cheese until light and creamy. Add in the vanilla. Add in the powder sugar, 1 cup at a time, incorporating fully before next addition. Add milk as needed if the frosting is too thick. Place the frosting into a piping bag fitted with a large star tip.
• Once the cupcakes have cooled, pull out the centers with a cupcake corer. Melt down the butter. Mix together some cinnamon and sugar in a small bowl. Using a rubber brush, brush the melted butter onto the cupcakes, then roll the tops of the cupcakes into the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Fill the cupcakes with the caramel sauce. Frost cupcakes with cream cheese frosting, dust with more cinnamon and sugar. If you choose, drizzle the cupcakes with leftover caramel sauce.
