Chocolate cherry Cupcake

INGREDIENTS

• 
• 

FOR THE CUPCAKES:

• 125g soft unsalted butter
• 100g dark chocolate, broken into pieces
• 300g morello cherry jam
• 150g caster sugar pinch of salt
• 2 large eggs, beaten
• 150g self-raising flour
• 12-bun muffin tin and papers

FOR THE ICING:

• 100g dark chocolate
• 100ml double cream
• 12 natural-coloured glace cherries

  
  

  METHOD

  Serves: Makes 12
  1. Preheat the oven to 180ºC/gas mark 4.
  2. Put the butter in a heavy-bottomed pan on the heat to melt. When nearly completely melted, stir in the chocolate. Leave for a moment to begin softening, then take the pan off the heat and stir with a wooden spoon until the butter and chocolate are smooth and melted. Now add the cherry jam, sugar, salt and eggs. Stir with a wooden spoon and when all is pretty well amalgamated stir in the flour.
  3. Scrape and pour into the muffin papers in their tin and bake for 25 minutes. Cool in the pan on a rack for 10 minutes before turning out.
  4. When the cupcakes are cool, break the chocolate for the icing into little pieces and add them to the cream in a saucepan. Bring to the boil, remove from the heat and then whisk - by hand or electrically - till thick and smooth. Ice the cupcakes, smoothing the tops with the back of a spoon, and stand a cherry in the centre of each.
   

Tastiest

INGREDIENTS

• 
• 

• 125g self-raising flour
• 125g caster sugar
• 125g soft unsalted butter
• 2 eggs
• Half a teaspoon real vanilla extract
• Approximately 2 tablespoons milk
• 1 packet instant royal icing
• Food colouring - for preference, colour pastes specialist cake decorations of choice e.g. wafer roses, sugar flowers, dolly mixtures, and sprinkles
• 1 x 12-bun muffin tin 12 muffin papers

  
  

  METHOD

  Serves: Makes 12
  1. Use teaspoons to coat the cupcakes with icing and leave each a moment to dry only slightly, on the surface, before sticking on a rose, daisy or whole stash of decorations.
  2. Preheat the oven to 200C and line the tin with the muffin cases.
  3. It couldn't be simpler to make cup cakes: just put all the ingredients except for the milk in the processor and then blitz till smooth.
  4. Pulse while adding milk, to make for a soft, dropping consistency, down the funnel. Or using a bowl and wooden spoon, cream the butter and sugar, beat in the eggs one at a time with a little of the flour.
  5. Then add the vanilla extract and fold in the rest of the flour, adding the milk to get the dropping consistency as before.
  6. I know it looks as if you'll never make this scant mixture fit 12 bun cases, but you will. I promise you this mixture is exactly right to make the 12 cup cakes, so just spoon and scrape the stuff in, trying to fill each case equally, judging by eye only of course.
  7. Put in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the cup cakes are cooked and golden on top. As soon as bearable, take the cup cakes in their cases out of the tin and let cool, right way up, on a wire rack.
  8. Once they're cool, make up a big, uncoloured batch of royal icing, and then remove a few spoonfuls at a time to small bowls.
  9. Using a bamboo skewer, add small dots of colours from the paste-tubs, stirring with a teaspoon and then adding more colouring, very slowly, very cautiously (pastel works best here, whatever your everyday aesthetic) until you get the colour you want.

Devil Cupcake

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder
• 3/4 cup hot water
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 1/4 teaspoons coarse salt
• 1 1/2 cups (3 sticks) unsalted butter
• 2 1/4 cups sugar
• 4 large eggs, room temperature
• 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1 cup sour cream, room temperature
• Chocolate Ganache Frosting
• Chocolate Curls, for decorating (optional)

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line standard muffin tins with paper liners. Whisk together cocoa and hot water until smooth. In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
2. Melt butter with sugar in a saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring to combine. Remove from heat, and pour into a mixing bowl. With an electric mixer on medium-low speed, beat until mixture is cooled, 4 to 5 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating until each is incorporated, scraping down sides of bowl as needed. Add vanilla, then cocoa mixture, and beat until combined. Reduce speed to low. Add flour mixture in two batches, alternating with the sour cream, and beating until just combined after each.
3. Divide batter evenly among lined cups, filling each three- quarters full. Bake, rotating tins halfway through, until a cake tester inserted in centers comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Transfer tins to wire racks to cool 15 minutes; turn out cupcakes onto racks and let cool completely. Cupcakes can be stored overnight at room temperature, or frozen up to 2 months, in airtight containers.
4. To finish, use a small offset spatula to spread cupcakes with frosting.

Facts

Cupcake Recipes: Where did they come from?

Who really knows how cupcakes originated?  Right now, two possible theories are circulating in the food world.  Both theories are based on cupcake recipes found in cookbooks from eras long ago. 

The first theory is that cake batter was cooked in teacups and other small containers since it took such a long time to cook cakes in hearth ovens.  The small teacups cut the cooking time of cakes dramatically.

The second theory is based on how the ingredients in the cupcake recipes were measured. (1 cup flour, 2 cups sugar, etc.) 

However they first came about, these wonderful creations we call cupcakes are still near and dear to everyone's heart whether we're young or just young at heart.  Our cupcake recipes are here to help you recreate your fondest childhood memories or to create new memories using more grown-up cupcake recipes.  Enjoy!
