MEXICAN CHOCOLATE CUPCAKES



Mexican Chocolate Cupcakes image

Being a big fan of Mexican hot chocolate, I just love the slight accent flavor of cinnamon in chocolate. This recipe for chocolate cake evolved with experimentation as I figured out how to achieve a light fluffy cake and infused it with a hint of coffee and cinnamon. Coffee enhances the flavor of cocoa powder, resulting in a more chocolaty cake. Cocoa powder is bitter on its own, with hints of fruit and spice that are detectable when you get a good-quality cocoa. Coffee has these same flavor elements, and a small amount of coffee in the batter will help these cocoa flavors stand out even more than they would on their own. Cinnamon adds another layer of richness that complements the underlying spice flavors in cocoa. Add a dollop of blackberry preserves in the center of the cupcakes.

Time 1h15m

Yield 15

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
1 cup white sugar
4 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder, or more to taste
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 pinch salt
1 cup water
5 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon white wine vinegar
½ cup vegan margarine
3 ½ cups confectioners' sugar
3 tablespoons vanilla soy milk, or as needed
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
colored sprinkles

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease 15 individual muffin cups or line cups with paper liners.

Tips:

  • Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature before starting. This will help the batter come together smoothly.
  • Use a high-quality cocoa powder for the best flavor. Look for a cocoa powder that is labeled "unsweetened" and has a deep, rich color.
  • Be careful not to overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in tough, dense cupcakes.
  • Fill cupcake liners only about 2/3 full. This will prevent the cupcakes from overflowing during baking.
  • Bake the cupcakes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
  • Allow the cupcakes to cool completely before frosting. This will help the frosting set properly.
  • For a vegan frosting, try a simple mixture of powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and almond milk.

Conclusion:

These Mexican Hot Chocolate Cupcakes are a delicious and festive treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Whether you prefer a classic chocolate frosting or something more unique, these cupcakes are sure to be a hit.
