Cupcakes with chocolate - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I substitute kefir with another ingredient?

Yes! You can use buttermilk, plain yogurt thinned with a bit of milk, or even sour cream as alternatives to kefir. The texture and tanginess will be similar.

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

Store cooled cupcakes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the fridge for up to 5 days. For longer storage, freeze them (see freezing tips).

Can I make these cupcakes gluten-free?

Absolutely! Replace the regular flour with a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend. Ensure the baking powder is gluten-free as well for best results.

What’s the best way to freeze these cupcakes?

Let them cool completely, wrap individually in plastic wrap, and place in a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature or warm briefly in the oven.

Can I use oil instead of butter?

Yes, neutral oils like vegetable or canola oil work well. Use ¾ cup oil for every 1 cup of butter, but note the flavor and texture will be slightly lighter.

How can I make these cupcakes dairy-free?

Swap butter for coconut oil or dairy-free margarine, and replace kefir with almond milk mixed with 1 tsp lemon juice (per 1 cup milk) for acidity.

What type of chocolate works best for the center?

Use high-quality dark, milk, or semi-sweet chocolate chunks or baking chips. Avoid chocolate bars with additives, as they may not melt evenly.

Can I make mini cupcakes instead?

Yes! Reduce baking time to 10–15 minutes and use about 1 tsp batter per mini mold. Check for doneness with a toothpick.

How do I prevent the chocolate from sinking to the bottom?

Coat chocolate pieces lightly in flour before adding them to the batter, and ensure the batter is thick enough to suspend them.

What are some creative serving suggestions?

Dust with powdered sugar, drizzle with melted chocolate, or top with whipped cream and berries. They’re also delicious slightly warmed with ice cream!
