Categories     Dessert

Time 1h15m

Yield 32

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 cup Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup unsweetened dark baking cocoa
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon chipotle chili powder
1/2 cup buttermilk
1/3 cup butter, softened
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
6 oz cream cheese, softened
3 cups powdered sugar
Red gel or paste food color
Green food color
1/2 to 1 teaspoon milk

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F. Place mini paper baking cup in each of 32 mini muffin cups. In large bowl, combine all cake ingredients. Beat with electric mixer on low speed until moistened. Beat on medium speed 2 minutes. Fill muffin cups 2/3 to 3/4 full, about 1 tablespoon per cup.
  • Bake 15 to 18 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Let stand 10 minutes; remove from pans to cooling racks. Cool completely, about 20 minutes.
  • In small bowl, combine cream cheese and powdered sugar. Beat with electric mixer on low speed until mixed. Beat at medium speed until creamy. Spoon 2 tablespoons into one custard cup and 2 tablespoons into another custard cup; set aside. To remaining frosting, gradually beat in enough to make frosting smooth and spreadable. Frost cupcakes.
  • Stir small amount of red food color into 2 tablespoons of the frosting, or until bright red. Stir 1 drop green food color into remaining 2 tablespoons frosting or until medium green. Spoon each colored frosting into a small resealable food-storage plastic bag. Cut 1/4-inch opening in one corner of red frosting bag. Pipe a small chili pepper on top of each cupcake, curving slightly and tapering to a soft point. Snip a tiny opening in one corner of the green frosting bag. Squiggle a little frosting at the wide end of the pepper for stem. Store in refrigerator.

DEVIL'S FOOD CUPCAKES

We mixed sour cream into the batter to add moistness and a subtle tang. Silky smooth ganache makes a rich topping; other options include seven-minute frosting and cream-cheese frosting. The chocolate curls are easily made with a few strokes of a vegetable peeler.

Yield Makes 32

Number Of Ingredients 13

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 Devil's Food Cupcakes, for decorating (optional)

Steps:

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • To finish, use a small offset spatula to spread cupcakes with frosting.

Categories     dessert

Time 57m

Yield 72 mini cupcakes

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 box (18.25-ounce) white cake mix, divided
3 egg whites, divided
9 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon blueberry juice, divided
1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon pineapple juice, divided
1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon cherry juice, divided
2 sticks butter, softened
8 ounces cream cheese, softened slightly
2 cups powdered sugar
Red, blue, and yellow food coloring
24 fresh blueberries, for garnish
12 pieces dried pineapple, sliced in half, for garnish
12 maraschino cherries, stems removed and sliced in half, for garnish
3 (24-cup) mini cupcake tins
72 mini cupcake papers
3 resealable zip-top bags

Steps:

  • Cook's Note: If you only have 1 mini cupcake tin, it is recommended that you mix up one batch of batter at a time and bake it off individually before mixing the next batter.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 3 (24-cup) mini cupcake tins with paper liners.
  • Evenly divide the cake mix into 3 medium bowls. In each bowl, add 1 egg white, 3 tablespoons oil, and 1/3 cup of one of the juices. Mix each for 2 minutes until the batter is well incorporated. Scoop the batter into muffin cups using a mini ice cream scoop or tablespoon measure, filling each a little more than half full. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center of a cupcake comes out clean, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from the oven. When cool enough to handle, place the cupcakes on a wire rack to cool completely.
  • In a medium bowl, beat together the butter with the softened cream cheese until combined. Slowly add in the powdered sugar until completely incorporated. Evenly divide the frosting between 3 bowls. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of one of the juices to each and mix until well combined. Add a couple drops red food coloring to the cherry flavored, a couple drops blue food coloring to the blueberry flavored, and a couple drops yellow food coloring to the pineapple flavored. Mix until well combined
  • Place each icing into a resealable bag and snip off 1/4- inch from the bottom corners of each bag. Pipe each flavored frosting atop its corresponding cupcake. If the frosting becomes too soft, chill in the refrigerator until it firms up enough for piping. Garnish the top of each cupcake with its corresponding garnish.

DEVIL'S FOOD CUPCAKES



Devil's Food Cupcakes image

Based on a recipe from Cook's Country magazine, February/March 2006. Makes 24 cupcakes, although it can be easily halved. The editors say, "If you don't have bar or block chocolate on hand, use semisweet chips in the cake and frosting." I frost these using recipe #414787 or recipe #414801. Did you know that unfrosted cupcakes can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days? They may also be individually wrapped in plastic and frozen in a zipper-lock bag for up to 1 month.

Yield Makes 30

Number Of Ingredients 16

30 2 1/2-inch-wide by 1 1/2-inch-high paperpanettone molds
Nonstick vegetable oil spray
2 2/3 cups all purpose flour
1 1/2 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
3 1/2 cups sugar
1 1/4 cups freshly brewed coffee, cooled to room temperature
1 1/4 cups buttermilk
3/4 cup vegetable oil
2 large eggs
2 large egg yolks
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups (about 7 ounces) mini semisweet chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325°F. Lightly spray insides of 30 paper molds with nonstick spray; arrange paper molds on 2 large rimmed baking sheets. Sift flour, cocoa, cinnamon, baking powder, salt, and baking soda into large bowl. Combine sugar, coffee, buttermilk, oil, eggs, egg yolks, and vanilla in another large bowl. Using electric mixer, beat egg mixture until blended. Add dry ingredients. Beat on medium speed until blended, scraping bowl occasionally, about 4 minutes. Stir in chocolate chips.
  • Spoon 1/4 cup batter into each paper mold. Bake cupcakes, 1 sheet at a time, until puffed and center is just firm to touch, about 24 minutes. Transfer cupcakes to racks and cool completely.
  • Frost cupcakes with almond frosting. (Can be made ahead. Arrange cupcakes in deep disposable roasting pans. Cover pans with foil. Refrigerate up to 2 days, or store at room temperature 1 day. Bring chilled cupcakes to room temperature before serving.)
  • Decorate cupcakes with mini roses up to 4 hours before serving.

Tips:

- To achieve a moist and fluffy texture, ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before mixing. This allows them to combine more evenly, resulting in a smooth batter. - Measure your ingredients accurately. Baking is a precise process, and even small deviations in measurements can affect the outcome of your cupcakes. Use a kitchen scale for precise measurements. - Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can develop the gluten in the flour, resulting in tough and dense cupcakes. Mix only until the ingredients are just combined. - Fill your cupcake liners only two-thirds full. This allows the cupcakes to rise properly without overflowing. - Bake the cupcakes in a preheated oven. This helps to ensure that they rise evenly and have a consistent texture. - Allow the cupcakes to cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting to set properly and prevent it from melting. - Store the frosted cupcakes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
