Categories     dessert

Time 2h

Yield 12 cupcakes

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon fine salt
2 large eggs, room temperature
2/3 cup sugar
3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup milk
3 1/2 ounces milk chocolate
3 ounces semisweet chocolate
2 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted
1/4 cup milk
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, softened
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
Decorative sugar cookies or marshmallow candies to decorate

Steps:

  • For the cupcakes: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line the muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  • Whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt together in a medium bowl.
  • In another medium bowl, beat the eggs and sugar with an electric mixer until light and foamy, about 2 minutes. While beating, gradually pour in the butter and then the vanilla.
  • While mixing slowly, add half the dry ingredients, then add all the milk, and follow with the rest of the dry ingredients. Take care not to over mix the batter. Divide the batter evenly in the prepared tin (about 1/3 cup batter per cup cake).
  • Bake until a tester inserted in the center of the cakes comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool cupcakes on a rack in the tin for 10 minutes, then remove. Cool on the rack completely.
  • For icing:
  • Put the chocolates in a medium heatproof bowl. Bring a saucepan filled with 1 inch or so of water to a very slow simmer; set the bowl over, but not touching, the water. Stir the chocolate occasionally until melted and smooth. (Alternatively, put the chocolate in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Melt at 50 percent power in the microwave until soft, about 1 minute. Stir, and continue heat until completely melted, about 1 to 2 minutes more.)
  • Add the confectioners' sugar, milk, butter, vanilla extract, and salt and beat with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Divide icing evenly between cupcakes and swirl with the back of a spoon or an offset spatula. Top with a sugar cookie or marshmallow candies. Serve.

Tips:

- Before starting, ensure all ingredients are at room temperature, as this will help them combine more easily and evenly. - Use high-quality vanilla extract or vanilla beans for the best flavor. - Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy; this will help create a moist and tender crumb. - Gradually add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. - Sift the flour and baking powder together before adding them to the wet ingredients. This will help prevent lumps and ensure a smooth batter. - Fold in the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients gently, using a spatula. Overmixing can toughen the cupcakes. - Fill the cupcake liners only 2/3 full to prevent them from overflowing during baking. - Bake the cupcakes at the specified temperature and time, as overbaking can dry them out. - Allow the cupcakes to cool completely before frosting them. This will help prevent the frosting from melting. - For a smooth and creamy frosting, beat the butter and cream cheese together until light and fluffy. - Gradually add the powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract, beating well after each addition. - Frost the cupcakes using a piping bag or a spatula. - Decorate the cupcakes with sprinkles, chocolate chips, or other desired toppings.
