It differs from the classic one only in that 30 g of flour should be replaced with cocoa powder in the dough. But the cream will be different. For it you will need:

• 150 g sugar (you can use powdered sugar)
• 100 g butter

Chocolate cupcakes from the oven:

Funny orange

We prepare the dough according to a standard recipe, but add the zest and juice of two large oranges.
As a cream, you can use cream cheese based on Mascarpone curd cheese, which is given below in the recipe for curd cupcakes, but add 1-2 drops of gel coloring to the cream for color, decorate with multi-colored confectionery sprinkles or small sweets, like M&M's.

With boiled condensed milk

I wonder if an American from whose country the recipe for this dessert came to us will be surprised after trying a cupcake with boiled condensed milk. Such a delicacy is hardly prepared in any other country besides Russia.
About 20 g of cocoa should be added to the cupcake dough for a beautiful color. And the cream recipe has long been known to every Russian housewife: we beat a jar of condensed milk with a pack of butter.

So that your delicacy does not turn out cloyingly sweet, the amount of sugar in the dough can be reduced.

Curd

Baking with cottage cheese is not only healthy, but also more tender. For cottage cheese cupcakes classic pastry add 130 g of cottage cheese. Choose a low-fat or low-fat product, as there is enough oil in the recipe.

The cream will be exquisite, you will need:

Whip the mascarpone with the powder and butter and refrigerate briefly. Dessert with such a cream instantly melts in your mouth.

In contact with

I've wanted to take a pastry course for a long time. Although, like, why? All the information is on the Internet, but the tricks and nuances, and most importantly, the atmosphere cannot be replaced by a computer and the Internet. And now the dream has come true. So expect a series of delicious confectionery workshops. School started with cupcakes. The recipe is not complicated, but with great variations.

What are cupcakes? These are small cupcakes made of biscuit dough with a filling inside and a cream cap on top.

Based classic recipe test, we were immediately shown how to cook also a chocolate and lemon version. They gave me two variants of cream and three curds. For those who don't know, Kurd is a stuffing made from berry juice.

Preparing is quite simple. The main thing is to get food out of the refrigerator in advance so that they reach room temperature

Prepare:

• Butter 82.5% - 180 g
• Sugar - 180 g
• Selected eggs - 2 pcs. (120 g)
• Flour - 180 g
• Baking powder - 2 tsp
• Milk - 5 tbsp.
• Vanilla sugar - 1 tsp

How to cook:

• Beat the softened butter with sugar at low speed with a mixer, gradually increasing the speed. We get a lush oil mixture

• Break the eggs one at a time and beat each time until smooth.

• Mix flour with baking powder and sift into a bowl. Mix with a spatula until smooth.

• Pour in warm milk. This must be done in order to ready-made cupcakes were soft and airy. If this is not done, then the cupcakes will turn out dryish. Instead of milk, you can use cream or kefir
• Mix lightly with a spatula and finally beat with a mixer. We get a soft and tender dough. This is the classic foundation. Based on it, we also prepared chocolate and lemon dough.

• Lay out in molds. There are two ways. You can fill in 2/3 of the form or ¾. In the latter case, the biscuit cap will rise too much above the capsule
• Spread better with two spoons. The dough is thick and drips very lazily from a spoon, so he needs help. Here, with the help of the second spoon, we will do this.

• We placed the cups on a baking sheet, heated the oven to 180 degrees and send the cupcakes to bake for 20-25 minutes. We check for a skewer no earlier than 20 minutes.
• While the cupcakes are baking, prepare the curd for the filling based on the juice of the berries. You can take absolutely any berries - cherries, currants, cranberries. I have lingonberry. Back in the fall, I pierced it with a blender, put it in portioned containers and froze it.

For the Kurd:

• Berries fresh or frozen - 100 g
• Sugar - 100 g
• 2 selected eggs (or 100 g of yolks)
• 1-2 tbsp butter

Cooking:

• The cooking process is similar to custard on milk, but only instead of it we will use the juice of berries.

• Mix berry mass, sugar and eggs in a saucepan

If you are doing it for the first time, then it is better to take the yolks, because with them the likelihood that lumps will appear, or everything will curl up, is much lower.

• We put the ladle on a low fire and constantly stir with a spoon so that the mass does not curl up. When the curd begins to thicken, you can change the spoon to a whisk and continue to mix. We wait until bubbles appear on the surface, turn off
• Then we filter from various lumps and berry skins and add 1 or 2 tbsp. tablespoons of oil. Oil temperature doesn't matter. And the number of spoons depends on the density of the resulting mixture. If the mixture is thick, then one is enough. After the Kurd cools down, it will be twice as thick. We send to cool in the refrigerator.

• Now it's the turn for a fluffy hat. For her, we will prepare cheese cream. It is thick, keeps its shape perfectly and is suitable for various desserts.

For cream cheese:

• Curd cheese - 200 g
• Butter - 100 g
• Powdered sugar - 50 g

Cooking:

• We take cream cheese. There are several popular brands that confectioners use. This is Hochland, Cream Cheese, Almette

• We mix the softened butter with a spatula with powder so that it does not scatter throughout the kitchen, and only then we pierce it with a mixer

• Add cottage cheese, mix again with a spatula, and finish with a mixer. The cream is very thick, store it in the refrigerator.

• In order to make a recess for the filling, there is a special device. But if you don’t have it (like I don’t), then you can easily get by with improvised means.
• With a regular knife, cut out a recess in the form of a cone in the middle to half of the cupcake.

• Putting stuffing inside

• We fill a disposable bag with cheese cream. We take a nozzle closed or open star, rose, diameter from 1.5 to 2 cm.

The cream must be taken out of the refrigerator in advance, and give it the opportunity to warm up, but not swim. Since it is very thick, it is difficult to plant it cold, and flowers from it are obtained with torn edges.

How to plant hats, see the video at the end of the article.

Chocolate cupcakes topped with chocolate ganache

Lately I really like chocolate desserts. For example, about which I already wrote earlier.

For the test, we take the products from the previous recipe, only at the very end we mix in 3 tbsp. cocoa. It can be replaced with melted chocolate. But with powder, the taste and smell is more saturated.

For the chocolate ganache filling:

• Cream 33-35% - 50 g
• Dark chocolate - 50 g

Cooking:

• We take the cream that is intended for whipping. I do not recommend taking a smaller percentage, you will not come to the desired result.
• In a saucepan, heat the cream, practically bring to a boil, but do not boil
• Pour the pre-broken chocolate with hot cream for several minutes until the chocolate dissolves.
• Stir until smooth and refrigerate for a few minutes to firm up.

Chocolate ganache for hats:

• Cream 33-35% - 150 g
• Dark chocolate - 75 g or milk chocolate - 120 g

Cooking:

• Pour the cream into a heavy bottomed saucepan and bring to a boil. In no case, do not boil, only single bubbles have appeared - turn off
• Chocolate is better to take confectionery (it is in drops). If not, then break into pieces dark or milky. White chocolate Not suitable for this cream
• And pour the cream, help to dissolve, stirring with a spatula
• We cover the container cling film at the joint. This is required so that the surface is not covered with a film.
• Let it cool a little on the table, and then put it in the refrigerator for a couple of hours

Ideally, make the ganache the night before and let it spend the night in the fridge.

• Beat the ganache at low speed. It is important. It can take a long time, but if you increase the speed, the cream may curdle and you will have to start all over again.
• The last step is to extract the center, lay the filling, deposit a cream cap and decorate.

In this case, they can be placed tightly on a baking sheet, without fear that the form will spread under the pressure of the dough. If you take a corrugated form, then when baking in the oven, it must be placed in special silicone or metal forms that will not allow them to spread
5. For curd cream Be sure to use powdered sugar, not sugar. Otherwise, the crystals will not have time to dissolve, and the taste will not be very pleasant.
