Cool to room temperature before frosting, about 1 hour.

COOKIE DOUGH CUPCAKES



Cookie Dough Cupcakes image

Can't decide between cookies or cake? Have both! I discovered this recipe on a blog (cupcakeproject.com) and made a few adjustments to the directions as the original was a little difficult to follow. These cupcakes are absolutely delicious and complete with a raw cookie dough surprise on the inside! Topped with some cookie dough icing and this makes for a fantastic treat for any occasion! (This recipe looks overwhelming, I admit, but it's pretty easy and well worth the effort!) NOTE: If you use any flour other than self-rising cake flour as the recipe calls for, it will cut the number of cupcakes in half!!)

CHOCOLATE CUPCAKES WITH WHIPPED GANACHE FROSTING



Chocolate Cupcakes with Whipped Ganache Frosting image

Whip the ganache as little or as long as you like, depending on how you prefer the consistency.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Cupcake Recipes

Time 3h5m

Yield Makes about 18

Number Of Ingredients 12

3/4 cup unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
Salt
2 large eggs
3/4 cup low-fat buttermilk
3/4 cup warm water
3 tablespoons safflower oil
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 batches Whipped Ganache

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line 18 to 20 cups of 2 standard (12-cup) muffin pans with baking cups. Sift cocoa, flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and 3/4 teaspoon salt into the bowl of a mixer. Beat on low speed until just combined.
  • Raise speed to medium, and add eggs, buttermilk, water, oil, and vanilla. Beat until smooth, about 3 minutes.
  • Divide batter among baking cups, filling each about two-thirds full. Bake until tops spring back when touched with a finger, 20 to 22 minutes. Let cool completely in pans set on wire racks.
  • Place a mound of whipped ganache (about 3 tablespoons) on top of each cupcake, and frost each using a small spoon or a small offset spatula to create swoops.

Tips:

  • For the perfect cupcake texture, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a tender and moist crumb.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can develop the gluten in the flour, resulting in a tough cupcake.
  • Fill the cupcake liners only 2/3 full. This will allow the cupcakes to rise properly without overflowing.
  • Bake the cupcakes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking will dry out the cupcakes.
  • Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting set properly and prevent it from melting.
  • For a smooth and creamy ganache frosting, use high-quality chocolate and heavy cream. Chop the chocolate finely before adding it to the hot cream. This will help it melt smoothly.
  • Let the ganache frosting cool slightly before frosting the cupcakes. This will help prevent the frosting from being too runny.

Conclusion:

These Cookie Dough Cupcakes with Ganache Frosting are the perfect treat for any occasion. They're easy to make and always a hit with a crowd. The cupcakes are moist and tender, with a delicious cookie dough filling. The ganache frosting is rich and creamy, and it complements the cupcakes perfectly.
