  • Pipe frosting on cupcakes and top with chocolate curls.

Provided by Tessa Arias

Categories     Dessert

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
3/4 cup coffee, at room temperature
3/4 cup Kahlua
3 large eggs, separated, at room temperature
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup (1 stick, 8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup packed light brown sugar
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks, 12 tablespoons) unsalted butter, at room temperature
6 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted

1/2 cup Kahlua
2 tablespoons coffee, at room temperature

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line cupcake pans with paper liners.
  • Whisk together the flour, cocoa, and baking soda in a medium bowl. Combine the coffee and Kahlua in a liquid measuring cup.
  • Add the egg whites to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Beat on medium-low speed until foamy. With the mixer still running, gradually add the granulated sugar. Once incorporated, increase the mixer to medium-high speed and continue beating until stiff peaks form. The egg whites should be glossy, not dry.
  • Transfer the egg whites to another bowl and clean our the mixer bowl (or use a second bowl, or use a hand-held electric mixer). With the paddle attachment, cream the butter and brown sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy. Add the egg yolks, one at a time. With the mixer on low speed, alternatively add the flour and the coffee-Kahlua mixture, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Use a rubber spatula to fold in egg whites.
  • Divide batter evenly between cupcake pans, filling each about 2/3 - 3/4 full. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the cupcakes spring back when lightly pressed and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Transfer the pan to a wire rack and let the cupcakes cool for 5 minutes then remove to rack to cool completely.
  • Beat the butter and powdered sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Add the cocoa powder, Kahlua, and coffee and beat to incorporate. Once the frosting comes together, increase speed to medium-high and beat until smooth and fluffy. Spread or pipe with a decorative tip onto cooled cupcakes.

SPIKED MUDSLIDE CAKE



Spiked Mudslide Cake image

This old-fashioned cake is buttery, tender and not too sweet, with a slightly dense crumb. The elegant frosting, made with a meringue-based buttercream, is perfumed with coffee liqueur. Make sure your butter is at room temperature, and beat it with the sugar for the full five minutes so the cake will bake up light and fully risen. It tastes best when served the day it is baked.

Categories     dessert

Time 2h25m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, at room temperature, plus more for greasing the pans
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled, plus more for greasing the pans
3 tablespoons cornstarch
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon fine salt
2 cups sugar
4 large eggs, at room temperature
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup milk
1/2 cup Irish cream liqueur, such as Baileys
4 large egg whites, at room temperature
1 cup sugar
3 sticks unsalted butter, cut into small pieces, at room temperature
1/3 cup coffee liqueur, such as Kahlua
1 tablespoon instant coffee

Steps:

  • For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter the bottoms and sides of two 9-inch round cake pans; dust with flour, and tap out the excess.
  • Whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl; set aside.
  • Beat the butter and sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, making sure the batter is well mixed before adding the next egg. Beat in the vanilla until blended.
  • Alternate folding the flour mixture and the milk into the butter mixture with a spatula, adding the flour in three additions and the milk in two, starting and ending with the flour, until just smooth. (The batter may look slightly curdled as you mix it, but this is not a problem.) Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans.
  • Bake until the cakes are golden and the centers spring back to the touch, 35 to 40 minutes. Let cool in the pans about 10 minutes, turn out onto cooling racks and let cool completely. Turn the cakes over, and poke the tops all over with the tines of a fork. Generously brush the tops with the liqueur, letting it soak in before brushing on more.
  • For the frosting: While the cakes cool, bring a few inches of water to a simmer in a medium saucepan. Set a large heatproof bowl over it (do not let the bowl touch the water), add the egg whites and sugar and whisk until the mixture is warm and the sugar has dissolved, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the bowl from the pan, and beat the mixture with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until stiff, glossy peaks form, 4 to 7 minutes. Beat in the butter a few pieces at a time, and continue beating until the frosting is smooth, 1 to 2 minutes. (Don't worry if the mixture becomes soupy or looks separated; keep beating and it will come together.) Stir the Kahlua and instant coffee together until dissolved, and beat into the frosting with the mixer running on low speed. Increase the speed to medium-high, and beat until fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • To assemble: Place 1 cake layer right-side up on a cake plate or stand, and spread with 1 cup of the frosting. Top with the second cake layer. Frost the top and sides of the cake with the remaining frosting.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh and ripe avocados: The quality of your avocados will greatly impact the flavor of your cupcakes. Make sure to select avocados that are ripe but not overripe, with a dark green skin and a slight give when pressed.
  • Use high-quality chocolate: The chocolate ganache frosting is a key component of these cupcakes, so it's important to use good-quality chocolate. Look for a chocolate that is at least 70% cacao and has a rich, deep flavor.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can result in tough, dense cupcakes. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined, then stop.
  • Bake the cupcakes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached: Overbaking will dry out the cupcakes, so keep an eye on them in the oven.
  • Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting them: This will help the frosting to set properly and prevent it from sliding off the cupcakes.

Conclusion:

These mudslide cupcakes are a decadent and delicious treat that are perfect for any occasion. With their rich chocolate flavor, creamy avocado filling, and fluffy chocolate ganache frosting, they're sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
