Triple Chocolate Cupcakes (Gluten Free)

eggs, room temperature

yogurt

+ 1/2 tbsp (190 mL) milk, room temperature

lemon juice

(400 g) plain gluten free flour blend

(45 g) cocoa powder

tsp xanthan gum

tsp baking powder

sugar

(339 g) softened unsalted butter

5 1/3 oz (150 g) dark chocolate, melted

+ 2 tbsp (100 mL) milk

(30 g) cocoa powder

(50 g) granulated sugar

oz (100 g) dark chocolate, chopped, divided

tbsp (40 g) unsalted butter

(680 g) softened unsalted butter

(480 g) powdered/icing sugar

(120 g) cocoa powder

10 1/2 oz (300 g) dark chocolate, melted and cooled until warm/room temperature

Pre-heat the oven to 355 ºF (180 ºC) and line cupcake baking tin(s) with cupcake liners.

In a small bowl, mix together the eggs, yogurt or sour cream, milk and lemon juice. Set aside.

Sift together the gluten free flour blend, cocoa powder, xanthan gum and baking powder. Add in the sugar and salt, and mix well.

Add the softened butter to the dry ingredients. Using a stand mixer with the paddle attachment or a hand mixer with the double beater attachment, whisk the butter into the dry ingredients until you get small, pea-sized pieces.

Add the milk+egg mixture and whisk until you get a smooth cupcake batter.

Add in the melted chocolate and whisk until evenly incorporated.

Evenly distribute the cupcake batter among the cupcake cases – they should be each about 3/4 filled.

Bake in the pre-heated oven at 355 ºF (180 ºC) for about 20 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.

Allow to cool.

For chocolate cupcakes:

In a saucepan, mix together the cocoa powder, sugar, milk, salt and half of the chopped chocolate. Heat until the chocolate has melted and you get a smooth mixture.

Remove from heat and add in the butter and the rest of the chopped chocolate. Mix everything together until the butter and chocolate have melted.

Set aside. The chocolate fudge sauce will thicken slightly while cooling.

For chocolate fudge sauce:

In a stand mixer using a paddle attachment, or using a hand mixer with the double beater attachments, beat the butter for 2 - 3 minutes, until pale and fluffy.

Add the powdered sugar, and beat for a further 5 minutes.

Add the cocoa powder and salt, and beat until evenly distributed in the buttercream.

Add in the melted (and cooled) dark chocolate, and beat until you get a rich, fluffy chocolate frosting with an even chocolate brown colour.

For chocolate buttercream frosting:

Use an apple corer or a piping nozzle, turned upside-down, to create a hole in the middle of each cupcake. Fill it with the chocolate fudge sauce.

Pipe the chocolate buttercream frosting with piping nozzle of choice (I used a Wilton 2D nozzle).

Sprinkle with chocolate shavings or sprinkles of choice.

Enjoy!

Assembling the cupcakes:

The triple chocolate cupcakes keep well in a closed container in a cool dry place for about 2 - 3 days.

Storage:

Small Batch Chocolate Cupcakes

All-Purpose Flour

Sugar

Light Brown Sugar (lightly packed)

Unsweetened Cocoa Powder

tsp Baking Powder

tsp Baking Soda

Salt

Large Egg

Milk

tbsp Vegetable Oil

tsp Vanilla Extract

tbsp Hot Water

tsp Espresso Powder

Unsalted Butter (room temperature)

Powdered Sugar (sifted)

tbsp Heavy Whipping Cream

Preparation

Adjust your oven rack to the 2nd level position (just above center) and preheat your oven to 350ºF. Line the middle rows of a cupcake tin with the cupcake liners. Set to the side.

Dry Ingredients

Using a small mixing bowl and a whisk, blend together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, light brown sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set to the side.

Wet Ingredients

In a separate medium-size mixing bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and hot water dissolved with the espresso powder.

Blend

Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and whisk together until just combined. Be careful not to over mix the cupcake batter.

Divide

Evenly divide the cupcake batter into the cupcake liners, filling each one approximately 2/3 full.

Bake

Bake the cupcakes for 18-20 minutes at 350ºF or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean. The cupcakes should have a slight dome to the top and will bake right to the edge of the liners.

Cool

Cool the cupcakes in the tin for 5-10 minutes. Remove and allow to cool completely before frosting.

small batch chocolate cupcakes

Using a hand held mixer or stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the unsalted butter on medium-high speed until smooth and creamy (1-2 minutes).

Add in the sifted powdered sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, salt, and vanilla extract and mix together on low speed.

As the frosting starts to come together, add in the heavy whipping cream continuing to mix on low speed until well blended. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.

If you prefer a thicker frosting, reduce the heavy whipping cream to 1 tablespoon. If you prefer a thinner frosting, add a tablespoon of sifted powdered sugar until desired frosting consistency is acheived.

All you need are six ingredients and you&#039;ll have this rich and creamy Chocolate Buttercream Frosting ready in no time. It&#039;s so delicious that you&#039;ll want to eat it by the spoonful.

unsalted butter (room temperature (339 grams))

cocoa powder ((50 grams))

heavy cream (or whole milk (90-120 milliliters))

In a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer with the whisk attachment, whip the butter until very light and fluffy, about 5 minutes.

Add the cocoa powder, vanilla, and salt. Mix on low speed until well combined, stopping to scrape down the bowl a couple of times. With the mixer on low, gradually add in the confectioner’s sugar about a cup at a time alternating with a tablespoon of cream. (I like 6 cups of sugar for a smooth and swoopy frosting, but for a stiffer frosting, use up to 8 cups of sugar.) Scrape down the bowl.

Increase the speed to medium-low and beat until fluffy and spreadable, about 1 minute. Add additional cream a tablespoon at a time if your frosting feels too thick or stiff. This recipe makes enough frosting for 24 cupcakes or a 9-inch 2-layer cake.

HOW DO YOU MAKE FLUFFY CHOCOLATE ICING?

Whipping the butter and sugar together on a medium speed for about 5-7 minutes will incorporate more air into the mixture and give you a fluffier frosting.

For a light and fluffy frosting try whipping up a batch of Swiss or Italian meringue buttercream. Both use whipped egg whites to create a light and fluffy frosting. Mix in 1/2 cup of melted and cooled dark chocolate and a teaspoon of espresso powder for an amazing fluffy chocolate icing.
