Chocolate Cupcakes

For my first official post I have chosen something with extra chocolate! Chocolate cupcakes with chocolate icing. They are delicious and also something good to start the weekend 😉

In this case I wanted to give something especial to somebody, I think they are perfect as a little present.


The preparation is quite simple and easy, sure you can get better with practice 🙂 The ingredients are

Cupcakes:

* 85 gr butter

*  75 gr brown sugar
*  100gr white sugar
*  185 gr flour
*  2 eggs
*  20 gr cocoa powder
* 1´5 teaspoon baking powder
* 1 pinch salt
* 250 ml milk
* 1 pinch vanilla essence
* 120 gr melting chocolate
 

 

First we start melting the chocolate, stirring constantly until it melts completely.
In a bowl, we mix the cocoa powder, the flour, salt and the baking powder until all ingredients are well mixed.
In another bowl mix the butter (by hand or with electric mixer) then, we add both types of sugar and keep mixing until we get a soft mixture

 

We add the two eggs to this last mixture, separately, then we add the chocolate with the vanilla and continue mixing.
Now we add the cocoa powder and flour within three times and alternating with the milk.
Almost ready!!! now we fill the cupcake cups 2/3 and we put it in the oven preheated to 170º, let it bake 25-30 min.
 
Chocolate icing
* 50 gr butter
* 250 ml liquid cream
* 300 gr melting chocolate
 
Melt the chocolate and reserve it. 
Cook the liquid cream until is boiling, then add the chocolate (within several times) and mix well.
Finally we add the butter mixing well.
We let it cool down at room temperature several hours (leave overnight is the best). 
After this we mix it well until we get a smooth mixture.
Now we can decorate our cupcakes!!!
I hope you try this at home, the perfect cupcakes to enjoy with friends!!
