Time 45m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1 cup heavy cream
8 ounces bitter-sweet chocolate, preferably Scharffen Berger
4 large eggs, room temperature
1 1/3 cups sugar
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon finely ground sea salt, preferably gray salt
powdered sugar, for dusting

Tips:

  • Properly melt the chocolate: Overheating the chocolate can cause it to seize and become unusable. To avoid this, melt the chocolate slowly and gently, either over a double boiler or in the microwave using short bursts of heat.
  • Use high-quality chocolate: The quality of the chocolate will greatly impact the flavor of the cupcakes. Opt for a high-quality dark chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can result in tough, dense cupcakes. Mix the ingredients until just combined, being careful not to overbeat.
  • Bake the cupcakes at a high temperature: Baking the cupcakes at a high temperature for a short period of time will help to create a molten center. The cupcakes should be cooked until the edges are set but the center is still slightly wobbly.
  • Let the cupcakes cool slightly before serving: Allow the cupcakes to cool for a few minutes before serving to prevent the molten center from spilling out.
