Cupcakes with chocolate filling appeared in Italy. They are made with chocolate cream. They need to decorate the pastry after it has cooled down, otherwise there is a risk that the cream will flow. To get a real chocolate bomb, use dark chocolate for the cream. In addition to it, the recipe uses a lot of butter. For a better taste, try to use homemade butter from cream or sour cream.

How to cook Chocolate cupcakes

Step 1

Prepare the dough. To do this, add pieces of dark chocolate to 30 g of butter and melt these ingredients in the microwave or in a water bath. Leave the mixture to cool slightly. Add sugar and stir until its crystals dissolve completely. Also add eggs, sour cream and stir again. Sift flour, cocoa and baking powder through a fine sieve and mix thoroughly into the dough.

Step 2

Bake the cupcakes. Turn on the oven and preheat it to 180 degrees. Put the dough into the molds, filling them 2/3 full. Bake the cupcakes for about 25 minutes. You can check the readiness with a wooden toothpick. If the dough does not stick to it, the cupcakes are ready. Remove the hot cupcakes from the oven and leave to cool.

Step 3

Chocolate cupcakes can be decorated with chocolate cream. Take cream cheese and the remaining butter and beat them until fluffy. Melt the chocolate in a convenient way. Mix the ingredients and pour powdered sugar into the chocolate cream. Adjust the amount of powder to taste. Beat everything with a mixer until smooth. Decorate the cupcakes from a pastry bag.
