SPROUTING CARROT CHOCOLATE CUPCAKES

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     dessert

Time 1h30m

Yield 12 cupcakes

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
3/4 cup whole milk
1 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup vegetable oil
1 large egg
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped
1 1/2 sticks (12 tablespoons) unsalted butter, at room temperature
3 cups confectioners' sugar
Pinch of salt
2 tablespoons heavy cream
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
Orange gel food coloring
Green sour apple laces or straws, cut into 2-inch pieces, for topping

Steps:

  • Make the cupcakes: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners. Whisk the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves and salt in a medium bowl. Put the cocoa powder in a large bowl. Warm the milk in a small saucepan or in the microwave until just about to simmer. Pour the milk over the cocoa powder and whisk until smooth. Whisk in the granulated sugar, vegetable oil, egg and vanilla. Whisk in the flour mixture until just combined.
  • Divide the batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each three-quarters of the way. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the centers comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer to a rack and let cool 10 minutes in the pan, then remove the cupcakes to the rack to cool completely.
  • Meanwhile, make the frosting: Microwave the chocolate in a small microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring, until smooth; let cool slightly. Beat the butter in a large bowl with a mixer on high speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Reduce the speed to low; add the confectioners' sugar and salt and beat until combined, then increase the speed to high and beat until creamy, about 3 more minutes. Reduce the speed to medium; add the heavy cream and vanilla and beat until fluffy, about 1 minute.
  • Remove about one-third of the frosting to a small bowl and stir in the melted chocolate and cocoa powder until smooth; set aside. Tint the remaining frosting bright orange with food coloring. Transfer the orange frosting to a piping bag fitted with a large round tip.
  • Cut a small cone-shaped chunk out of the center of each cupcake with a paring knife, cutting about halfway into the cupcake. Crumble the chunks of cake into a bowl. Spread the chocolate frosting in a thin layer on the cupcakes, leaving the carved-out holes open. Pat the cupcake crumbs on the chocolate frosting to look like dirt. Pipe the orange frosting into each hole, mounding it above the surface to look a like carrot. Stick a few sour apple laces into the orange frosting to look like carrot tops.

To try to get my family to eat more vegetables, I often "hide" nutritional foods inside sweet treats. The carrots add wonderful moistness to these cupcakes, which have a rich cream cheese frosting. Now we can have our cake and eat our vegetables, too! -Doreen Kelly, Rosyln, Pennsylvania

Steps:

  • Make the base carrot cupcake batter: In a food processor, process the carrots until finely chopped.
  • In a large bowl, whip the butter with an electric hand mixer on medium speed until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the granulated and brown sugars, and beat until smooth, about 2 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  • In a small bowl, beat together the eggs and vanilla extract.
  • Add the egg mixture to the butter mixture in thirds, beating on medium speed between each addition until fully incorporated.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg.

Add half of the powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and milk at a time, beating on low speed between each addition until just incorporated. Add the vanilla and salt, and mix until fully incorporated and the frosting is smooth. Transfer the frosting to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  • To frost, place the tip of the piping bag at an angle at the edge of each cupcake and squeeze, rotating the cupcake and working toward the center, until covered in frosting. Repeat with the remaining cupcakes. Garnish each cupcake with a few Fisher Walnuts.
