Categories     dessert

Time 1h20m

Yield about 18 standard cupcakes

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 1/2 cups cake flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon fine salt
1 stick unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/4 cup milk
Tres Leches Mix, recipe follows
Whipped Cream Mascarpone Frosting, recipe follows
One 12-ounce can evaporated milk
Half 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
3/4 cup heavy cream
4 cups heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup confectioners' sugar
4 ounces mascarpone cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line cupcake tins with paper liners.
  • Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
  • Cream the butter and granulated sugar with an electric mixer until fluffy and light. Add the eggs, one at a time beating well between each addition. Then add the vanilla and mix until fluffy. Fold in the flour mixture, alternating with the milk. Do not over mix. Portion into the prepared cupcake tins. Bake for about 20 minutes.
  • Once the cupcakes have cooled, about 30 minutes, you can inject the cake with about 2 ounces of the Tres Leches Mix. If you do not have an injector, then fork the cupcake gently on the top, and then spoon the tres leches over top so as to not break up the cake. Let sit in the fridge for at least an hour.
  • Top each cupcake with some of the Whipped Cream Mascarpone Frosting.
  • Combine the three milks in a blender until well combined, and then chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
  • Chill a metal bowl. Add the heavy cream, vanilla extract and confectioners' sugar. Start to beat the heavy cream until you see the liquid thicken, and continue to beat until stiff peaks form. Mix in the mascarpone cheese and blend to combine.

Time 2h10m

Yield 24 cupcakes

Number Of Ingredients 26

1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/3 cup (about 5 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted
Cupcakes:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
Pinch fine sea salt
1 1/2 sticks (6 ounces) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup sour cream
1/2 cup milk
Filling:
8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
Frosting:
3 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/3 cup sour cream
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
Graham cracker pieces, for garnish

Steps:

  • For the crust: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line two 12-cup standard muffin tins with paper liners.
  • Combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, cinnamon and butter in a small bowl. Drop a heaping tablespoon of graham cracker mixture into each muffin cup. Press to create a firm layer of crust on the bottom. Bake 7 minutes. Set aside to cool completely.
  • For the cupcakes: Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl.
  • Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, cream the butter and granulated sugar together until fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, scraping down the bowl between additions. Beat in the vanilla.
  • Whisk together the sour cream and the milk. Add the flour mixture and milk mixture in three additions, alternating between wet and dry ingredients and starting and ending with flour mixture. Beat just until well combined, taking care not to overmix.
  • For the filling: Beat the cream cheese and granulated sugar in a bowl with an electric mixer at medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in the egg just until combined. Spoon the filling into a pastry bag fitted with a medium-size plain tip (Ateco 800). Insert the tip into the top of each cupcake batter and squeeze the filling until the batter rises to fill each cup about three-quarters of the way up the side of the tin.
  • Bake until lightly golden and a toothpick inserted about 3/4 inch from the edge of the cupcakes comes out clean, 18 to 20 minutes. Cool the cupcakes in the tins on a rack for 10 minutes, and then remove from the tins and cool completely.
  • For the frosting: Using an electric or stand mixer, beat the cream cheese and butter together at medium speed until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl. Beat in the sour cream and lemon juice. On low speed, gradually add the confectioners' sugar and beat until well combined.
  • Frost the cupcakes as desired. Garnish with graham cracker pieces.

THREE-CHEESE CAKE



Three-Cheese Cake image

This combination of chevre, mascarpone, and cream cheese is baked to perfection. Every bite is as rich as you'd expect, though surprisingly light and airy.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Cake Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 17

3/4 cup hazelnuts
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for pan
9 whole graham crackers
3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
5 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
6 ounces mild and creamy goat cheese (chevre), room temperature
1 teaspoon grated orange zest
4 teaspoons freshly squeezed orange juice (1 orange)
4 teaspoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 teaspoons Frangelico (optional)
4 large eggs, separated
5 ounces mascarpone cheese
8 navel oranges, peeled, membrane removed, sectioned
1 tablespoon lavender-flavored honey, optional
1/2 teaspoon dried lavender (optional)
Lavender blossoms, for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 375 degrees. Spread hazelnuts on a baking pan. Bake until golden brown and fragrant, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer nuts to a clean kitchen towel. Rub nuts vigorously, removing loose skins. Set aside to cool.
  • Reduce temperature to 350 degrees. Butter an 8-inch springform pan. In a small saucepan set over low heat, melt the butter; set aside.
  • Using a food processor, pulse graham crackers into fine crumbs, yielding about 1 cup crumbs. Place in a medium bowl; add 1/4 cup sugar, and set aside. Place 1/2 cup toasted hazelnuts in the food processor; pulse until fine but not powdery. Add to graham-cracker-crumb mixture. Using a fork, add melted butter; stir to combine. Put crumb mixture in the bottom of pan, and press evenly around the bottom and halfway up the sides, about 1 1/2 inches.
  • Bake crust until golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
  • Reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees. Place cream cheese and goat cheese in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Reduce speed to low. Add 1/2 cup sugar, orange zest, flour, salt, and Frangelico, if using; mix until combined. Add egg yolks one at a time, mixing after each addition. Add mascarpone cheese and orange juice; mix just until batter is combined and smooth. Transfer batter to a large mixing bowl, and set aside.
  • Place egg whites in the clean bowl of the electric mixer fitted with the whip attachment. Beat on medium speed until frothy. Increase speed to medium high, and gradually add remaining 2 tablespoons sugar, 1 teaspoon at a time. Continue beating whites until stiff but not dry.
  • Using a hand whisk, mix one third of the whipped egg whites into the batter. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold in remaining whites. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
  • Bake cheesecake until the top is golden brown and center has barely set, about 60 minutes; the top should be cracked and will sink upon cooling, forming a "bowl." Transfer cheesecake to a wire rack to cool completely. Chill several hours or overnight, then unmold cheesecake.
  • Combine orange sections, honey, and dried lavender in a medium bowl. Coarsely chop remaining 1/4 cup hazelnuts, and add. Spoon topping into bowl on top of cheesecake. Garnish with lavender blossoms.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start baking, measure and prepare all of your ingredients. This will help you stay organized and ensure that you don't forget anything.
  • Use Room Temperature Ingredients: When possible, use room temperature ingredients. This will help your cupcakes bake more evenly.
  • Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing the batter can make your cupcakes tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Fill the Cupcake Liners Properly: Fill the cupcake liners about 2/3 full. This will help prevent them from overflowing in the oven.
  • Bake the Cupcakes Until a Toothpick Inserted into the Center Comes Out Clean: This is the best way to ensure that your cupcakes are cooked through.
  • Let the Cupcakes Cool Completely Before Frosting: This will help prevent the frosting from melting.
  • Use a Variety of Frostings: There are endless possibilities when it comes to frosting your cupcakes. Get creative and try different flavors and textures.
  • Decorate Your Cupcakes: Once your cupcakes are frosted, you can decorate them with sprinkles, candies, or other decorations.

Conclusion:

Three-cheese cupcakes are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a cupcake that is both decadent and satisfying. Whether you're baking for a special occasion or just want a sweet treat, these cupcakes are sure to please.
