Chocolate Cupcakes With Chocolate Frosting
By: Hey Jude
Jul 9, 2004
I can't seem to get enough chocolate lately and these cupcakes were among my victims. This recipe comes from a Chicago bakery called Sweet Mandy B's and these cupcakes will make you happy!
24 cupcakes
Ingredients
cupcakes
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa
- 1 1/4 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups sugar
- 3/4 cup hot water
- 3/4 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
chocolate frosting
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons dark corn syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 pinch salt
- 2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa, sifted
- 1 lb confectioners' sugar, sifted
- 1/2 cup whipping cream
- candy sprinkles (optional)
Directions
1
Cupcakes: sift the flour, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder and salt into the bowl of a heavy mixer fitted with the paddle attachment; add sugar.2
Turn the mixer on low and add, in order; water, milk, eggs, oil and vanilla; scrape down the sides of the bowl and beat on medium, briefly, to achieve a smooth batter.3
Scoop the batter into muffin tins lines with paper baking cups; each cup should be about half full; slide the tins onto a baking sheet and bake at 325° until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 30 minutes.4
While cupcakes are cooling, prepare the frosting.5
Frosting: Cream the butter in the bowl of a mixer, using the paddle attachment; beat in the corn syrup, vanilla and salt.6
With the machine off, spoon in the cocoa; carefully turn the mixer on low so as to avoid death by cocoa inhalement; do likewise for the sugar, in three parts; last, add the cream then beat until fluffy.7

When the cupcakes are completely cool, frost generously and shake on some sprinkles if you like.

I love this recipe, I've made it several times now - full size cupcakes and mini - and they always turn out beautifully risen and chocolatey with a lovely texture. The batter is runny, so I tend to make a bit of mess filling my cases, but the cakes turn out just fine once they've been baked. I haven't made the frosting yet, I just use chocolate buttercream.

Don't know how this recipe got such high rating. It didn't work for me. After the first butch I tried to up the temreture to 180 C but it still didn't come out right. Looks like the mixture is too wet and would sugest to add some flour or corn starch.

I just finished making these cupcakes, and for me, it made 30. (I think that my muffin tins must be a bit smaller.) Anyway, I am a novice baker with a new convection oven and this recipe was just terrific. The cake is moist and light and the frosting is so smooth. I usually find that most "uncooked" frostings have a sort of raw taste. This was not the case at all with this frosting; this was so creamy and light. Beware, this recipe does make LOTS of frosting. I will use the remainder in another baking project this weekend. I am taking the cupcakes to work tomorrow to celebrate a co-worker's birthday. I think she will be delighted. Thanks Hey Jude for a real winner.

These cupcakes were so moist, delicious and so chocolaty! The 2 dozen were devoured just about overnight between my DD's and DH. I will be making them again definite keeper here
