Time 2h5m

Yield 12 cupcakes

Number Of Ingredients 23

Cooking spray
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (not Dutch-process)
1/2 cup milk
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
10 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs plus 2 large egg yolks, at room temperature
Filling:
2 cups marshmallow creme
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
Glaze:
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
2 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
1 teaspoon honey
Pinch fine salt
Icing:
1 cup confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Steps:

  • For the cupcakes: Position an oven rack in the center of the oven, and preheat to 350 degrees F. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners, and lightly coat with cooking spray.
  • Whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt and baking powder in a medium bowl; set aside.
  • Bring the cocoa powder, milk and 1/2 cup water to a simmer in a small saucepan over medium heat, and whisk until the cocoa dissolves into a smooth, thicker mixture, about 3 minutes. Stir in the vanilla, and set aside until just slightly warm to the touch.
  • Beat the butter and sugar on medium-high speed with an electric mixer until combined and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs and egg yolks one at a time, beating to incorporate after each addition. Continue to beat while slowly pouring the cocoa mixture into the bowl (be sure to scrape out any cocoa that coats the saucepan) just until incorporated, scraping down the side of the bowl as needed. Reduce the speed to medium, add the flour mixture and beat until just incorporated. Finish stirring by hand to avoid overmixing.
  • Divide the batter evenly among the lined muffin cups, and bake until the cupcakes bounce back when gently pressed and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 18 to 20 minutes. Let them cool in the pan for a few minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool completely. Unwrap each cupcake, and use a small knife to cut out a small "plug" of cake in the middle of each bottom, cutting about halfway through the cupcake.
  • For the filling: Beat the marshmallow, confectioners' sugar and butter with an electric mixer in a medium bowl until smooth. Transfer the mixture to a large resealable plastic bag, and snip off one corner. Pipe the filling into the holes cut out of the cupcakes; use the plugs or scraps of the cake you removed to plug the holes back up.
  • For the glaze: Combine the butter, chocolate, honey and salt in a small microwave-safe bowl, cover with plastic wrap and poke a hole in it to vent. Microwave on high (at 100 percent power) for about 1 minute, until the butter and most of the chocolate is melted. Whisk until smooth; let cool, 15 to 20 minutes. Dip the top of each cupcake in the glaze, and let it set up, about 30 minutes.
  • For the icing: Put the filled and glazed cupcakes on a rack set over a baking sheet or piece of parchment. Whisk the confectioners' sugar, butter and 2 tablespoons water together in a small bowl. Top each cupcake with a drizzle of icing; let harden, about 10 minutes. Put the finished cupcakes in fresh liners. The cupcakes can be baked, filled, glazed and iced a day ahead and stored in an airtight container at room temperature.

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.

DEVIL'S-FOOD CAKE WITH TOASTED-MARSHMALLOW FROSTING



Devil's-Food Cake With Toasted-Marshmallow Frosting image

Stella Parks developed this recipe for an all-butter triple-layer chocolate cake with a shockingly tender crumb and deep, fudgy flavor. The cake looks intimidating at first, but Ms. Parks's technique involves simply stirring all the ingredients together in a single 5-quart pan and then pouring it into 3 pans. Once they're cooled, level the puffy tops with a bread knife and put them together with marshmallow frosting for a true showstopper.

Categories     cakes, dessert

Time 1h

Yield 16 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 1/2 cups (340 grams/3 sticks) butter
1 1/2 cups (354 milliliters) black coffee
1 cup (85 grams) Dutch-processed cocoa powder
1 1/4 cups (170 grams) finely chopped dark chocolate (about 72 percent)
2 packed cups plus 1 tablespoon (453 grams) light-brown sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt
6 large eggs
3 large egg yolks
2 cups (255 grams) all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking soda
1 cup (226 grams) egg whites
1 3/4 cups (340 grams) sugar
1/2 teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Place oven rack in the middle position, and heat the oven to 350 degrees. Line 3 8-by-3-inch anodized-aluminum cake pans with parchment paper, and grease them.
  • Combine butter and coffee in a 5-quart saucepan, and set over low heat to melt. Remove from heat, and whisk in the cocoa, chocolate, brown sugar, vanilla and salt, until there are no lumps of cocoa or unmelted chocolate. After mixing, add the eggs and yolks, and whisk well to combine. Sift flour and baking soda right into the pan, then whisk thoroughly to combine, making sure there are no pockets of flour. Divide batter among the three cake pans (about 23-24 ounces each).
  • Bake for 30 minutes, or until the cakes are firm, but a light touch with a finger still leaves an impression, and a few crumbs cling to a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake.
  • Set aside on a wire rack until the pans, and the cakes, are completely cool to the touch, about 90 minutes.
  • Fill a 3-quart pot with 1 1/2 inches of water, and place over medium-low heat. In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the egg whites, sugar, salt, cream of tartar and vanilla. Place the bowl over the steaming water bath, and use a spatula to stir and scrape down the bowl, keeping the mass moving over the steam for about 10 minutes, or until a digital thermometer inserted into the mixture reads 175 degrees.
  • Place the bowl in the stand mixer with the whisk attachment, and whip on high speed until it quadruples in volume and turns thick and glossy, about 5 minutes.
  • Loosen the sides of the cakes with a knife and invert them onto a wire rack. Peel away the parchment paper, then flip cakes right-side up again. Use a long serrated knife to evenly trim the puffy tops off the cakes (set these aside for snacking).
  • Place one cake, cut-side up, onto a serving plate. Top with a cup of frosting, and spread it into an even layer with a small palette knife or the back of a spoon. Repeat with the second and third layers, placing these cut-side down. Finish the sides of the cake with remaining frosting, then lightly torch with a blowtorch, so the frosting turns golden brown.

CREAM-FILLED DEVIL'S FOOD CUPCAKES



Cream-Filled Devil's Food Cupcakes image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     dessert

Time 1h15m

Yield 12 cupcakes

Number Of Ingredients 21

Nonstick vegetable spray for coating muffin tin
1 1/4 cups cake flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (recommended: Dutch-processed)
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
10 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 1/2 cups sugar
3 eggs
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup coffee, brewed strong and hot
Vanilla Cream Filling, recipe follows
Ganache Frosting, recipe follows
3 tablespoons vegetable shortening
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup light corn syrup
5 ounces semisweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
3/4 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Set a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees. Generously coat a 12-slot muffin tin with nonstick vegetable spray.
  • Into a large bowl, sift the flour, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder and salt together three times. In a mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugar together at high speed for 15 seconds, until combined. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating until each is incorporated. Continue beating until light and fluffy, about 6 minutes more. With the mixer on its lowest setting, beat in a third of the flour mixture. Beat in the buttermilk and vanilla, then another third of the flour. Beat in the coffee and then the remaining flour. Fill the cups of the muffin tin two-thirds full and bake for 15 minutes, or until the centers spring back when lightly pressed and a cake tester comes out clean. Set the pan on a rack to cool. With a small knife, carefully carve a 1-inch-round by 1-inch-deep plug out of the bottoms of the cupcakes-you're going to need the plug to refill the hole, so don't chuck it out. Fill with vanilla cream. Cut a 1/4-inch disk off the cake plug and cover the exposed cream. Dunk the cupcakes into the frosting to coat, then place on a rack, frosted side up. Transfer to the refrigerator for 20 minutes to set before serving.
  • With an electric mixer, beat together the vegetable shortening and butter until blended. Turn the mixer down to its lowest setting and gradually add the confectioners' sugar. Turn the mixer back up and beat a high speed until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. At a drizzle, gradually beat in the vanilla and corn syrup until the filling is the consistency of mayonnaise, about 2 minutes more. Scrape the vanilla cream frosting into a pastry bag fitted with a 1/4-inch plain tip.
  • Put the chocolate in a small bowl. In a small saucepan, over medium heat, bring the cream just to the simmering point. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and, working from the center out, gently stir with a whisk to melt the chocolate and blend until smooth.

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.

  • Use high-quality ingredients: This will ensure that your cupcakes and frosting turn out delicious. Look for ingredients that are fresh and free of additives.
  • Measure your ingredients accurately: This is important for ensuring that your cupcakes and frosting turn out correctly. Use a kitchen scale to measure your ingredients, if possible.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help to incorporate air into the mixture, which will make your cupcakes lighter and fluffier.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition: This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Do not overmix the batter: Overmixing can make your cupcakes tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cupcakes at the correct temperature and for the correct amount of time: This will ensure that your cupcakes are cooked through but not overbaked.
  • Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting them: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
