Chocolate cupcakes with chocolate cream – notes
Recently I had a cupcake frenzy at home, so I have another recipe for you – this time for moist chocolate cupcakes.
Chocolate, although I added bitter cocoa, not chocolate, to the cupcakes themselves.
However, the cream for the cupcakes is intensely chocolatey and made with a generous amount of dark chocolate.
With current chocolate prices, one could say these chocolate cupcakes are true decadence ;)
But what delicious decadence!
The cocoa cupcakes with cream are super soft and moist – they can sit for a long time without drying out. I additionally stored them in an airtight container.
To make them even more chocolatey, after baking and cooling, I scooped out a little bit of the center with a small spoon and put a small spoonful of Nutella in its place.
I’m telling you, these triple chocolate cupcakes are pure madness!
How to make chocolate cupcakes – tips
I have prepared a short video of the preparation especially for you. You can watch it right below the recipe, so I cordially invite you.
But in short, I prepared these cupcakes my favorite way.
That is, two bowls and a spoon.
Into one bowl, I poured the dry ingredients and mixed them with a spoon.
Into the second bowl, I put the wet ingredients (without hot water) and eggs – I mixed them and then poured them into the dry ingredients.
I mixed the batter with a spoon and finally added hot water.
I put the cupcake batter into cupcake liners – we only fill the molds halfway so that the cupcakes don’t overflow during baking.
I got 16 cupcakes.
After baking, I set them aside to cool, and then I filled some of them with chocolate-nut cream.
Finally, I decorated them with delicious chocolate cream.
How to make chocolate cream for decorating cupcakes?
This chocolate cream is a very simple cream made from heavy cream, dark chocolate, and butter.
Heat the heavy cream in a saucepan – it is very important not to bring the cream to a boil.
It should be hot, but not boiled – I usually turn off the heat when air bubbles appear along the sides of the saucepan.
Then I add the broken chocolate to the cream and leave it for a few minutes to soften.
I thoroughly mix the chocolate with the cream until smooth, add the soft butter, and mix until it combines with the chocolate.
I set aside this chocolate cream to cool and thicken – you can put it in the fridge for about half an hour.
For the cream to be suitable for piping, it must be quite thick, but not too hard.
I transferred part of the cream to a piping bag with a star tip, and to the remaining part, I added some mascarpone cheese. I wanted to achieve different shades of brown.
I decorated the cupcakes with the finished cream, and finally added small sugar sprinkles.
My cocoa cupcakes with chocolate cream looked beautiful and tasted even better :)
