Chocolate cupcakes "Snowflakes" - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I substitute the blackcurrants in the filling with another fruit?

Yes! Raspberries, blueberries, or even chopped cherries would work beautifully as a substitute for blackcurrants. Just ensure they aren't too juicy, or the filling might become runny.

How should I store these cupcakes and how long will they last?

Store the cooled cupcakes in an airtight container at room temperature. They'll stay fresh for about 2-3 days. For longer storage, refrigerate them for up to a week, but they might dry out a bit.

Is there a dairy-free alternative to butter I can use?

Yes, you can substitute the butter with a plant-based butter alternative or coconut oil. The flavor might be slightly different, but the cupcakes will still be delicious.

Can I make these cupcakes ahead of time and freeze them?

Absolutely! Let the cupcakes cool completely, then freeze them in an airtight container or freezer bag for up to 2 months. Thaw them at room temperature before decorating with powdered sugar.

What can I do to ensure my cupcakes are extra moist?

Don't overbake the cupcakes! Check for doneness after 20 minutes by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out with a few moist crumbs attached. Also, adding a tablespoon of sour cream or plain yogurt to the batter can increase moisture.

How can I make these cupcakes vegetarian?

These cupcakes are already vegetarian friendly!

Can I half the recipe to make a smaller batch?

Yes, halving the recipe should work perfectly. Just be sure to halve all the ingredients accurately to maintain the correct ratios for baking.

What if I don't have silicone cupcake molds?

You can use a regular muffin tin lined with cupcake liners. Just make sure to grease the liners well to prevent sticking.
