Chocolate Pudding Frosted Cupcakes Recipes

CHOCOLATE PUDDING CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and grease a 12°C muffin pan.
• Combine Flour, B. Powder, B. Soda, salt and cocoa in a medium size mixing bowl and set aside.
• In a small saucepan combine chopped chocolate, milk, cornstarch and butter. Over medium heat stir ingredients until chocolate and butter are melted and there are no lumps from the cornstarch remaining. Put mixture in the fridge for 15 minutes or until set.
• Put the eggs, milk and canola oil in a large mixing bowl and stir with a wire whisk until frothy. Add the pudding mix to the egg mixture and stir until just incorporated into the batter. Add the dry ingredients to the mixture and stir until smooth and creamy.
• Grease a 12 cup muffin pan and fill each muffin cup 3/4 full.
• Bake cupcakes for 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean.
• Allow to cool in pan for 10 minutes then put on a serving plate and ice them with raspberry icing when cooled.

MEXICAN CHOCOLATE-PUDDING-FILLED CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees with rack set in center. Line 18 standard-size muffin cups with paper liners; set aside.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, mix together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add butter and mix until well incorporated.
• Mix together milk and vanilla in a small bowl. With the mixer running, add milk mixture in three additions, scraping down the sides of the bowl after each addition. Add egg yolks and mix until well combined.
• Fill prepared muffin cups 1/2 full with batter. Transfer to oven and bake until cakes spring back when lightly touched, 15 to 20 minutes. Let cupcakes cool slightly in their tins before transferring to a refrigerator. Refrigerate cupcakes until chilled.
• Using a 1-inch round biscuit cutter, cut a small hole in the center of each cupcake, pushing cutter down about 2/3 of the way and using a twisting motion to release cake; reserve scraps. Fill hole with pudding and cover with scraps to enclose.
• Place buttercream in a pastry bag fitted with a star tip (such as Ateco #822). Pipe frosting in a zigzag pattern across the top of each cupcake. Sprinkle with gold petal dust, if desired. Serve.
