Chocolate cupcake with icing

Description

It turns out a very decent size, enough for a large family. I baked in a 33x24 cm form. The dough is slightly moist due to the addition of sour cream to it. Very chocolatey, more masculine, I think.

Cooking

Step 1

We put the oven to heat up to 190 degrees. I used a 33x24 cm form. It doesn’t cost more, less is possible. Cover its bottom with parchment greased with oil, grease the sides too and lightly sprinkle with flour.

Step 2

Cooking dough. Melt chocolate and butter in a water bath. Make sure that the water does not touch the bottom of the bowl in which to melt the chocolate and stir constantly. Set aside.

Step 3

Sift flour and mix thoroughly with baking powder. Add brown sugar, mix everything.

Step 4

Pour melted chocolate into bowl with flour and sugar. Mix very well. The dough is tough and hard to mix.

Step 5

Add sour cream, mix everything. The dough gradually becomes more pliable.

Step 6

And the last ingredient - add eggs. At this stage, I have already whipped the dough with a mixer.

Step 7

We shift the dough into a mold. We send the form to the oven for 40-45 minutes. Readiness to check with a wooden stick. After baking, let rest in the mold for 5 minutes. and then carefully place on a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 8

Ready for frosting. I used chocolate for the icing, but this is completely optional, you can take two bars of dark chocolate. If we do it in a water bath, then we put chocolate in the mold, 3 tbsp. l. water, cognac Melt, stirring regularly. When the chocolate has melted, pour in the cream and remove from heat. Add a piece of butter. We mix everything well.

Step 9

Pour the glaze over the cooled cake immediately. The consistency of the glaze can be seen in the photo. I do this as follows - I lay parchment paper under the grate and then pour the icing on top, distributing with a spatula.
