#Easy cupcake how to#
I have found so many delicious and easy cupcake recipes you might not know where to start! But even if you make too many, here's how to store and freeze cupcakes so that you can keep enjoying them for as long as possible. Key Lime Cupcakes with White Chocolate Frosting and Salted Pistachios Greek Yogurt Cupcakes with Blackberry Frosting Peach Bourbon Cupcakes with Peach Buttercream Pumpkin Cupcakes with Maple Pecan Frosting Banana Cupcakes with Chocolate Peanut Butter Frosting Marble Cupcakes with Marble Cream Cheese Frosting Rosemary Chocolate Cupcakes With Blackberries Buttercream Biscoff Cupcakes With Biscoff Buttercream The weekend is here!! Do I hear chocolate cupcakes calling your name? I think I do…. 🙂 Also because I’ve done a video for that too – I didn’t want to cram it into the cupcake recipe video. I’ve shared the Chocolate Buttercream Frosting in a separate post because I think it’s worthy of being a separate recipe. Dense than whipped cream, and unlike whipped cream, it holds its form for days.Ĭhocolate cupcakes with speedy chocolate fudge frosting Chocolate Cupcakes with Chocolate Buttercream Chocolate Cupcakes with Chocolate Buttercream Far less sweet and fluffier than buttercream, and it’s also 100% silky smooth (buttercream will always have a faint grit to it, the icing sugar/powdered sugar never fully dissolves). My Secret Less-Sweet Fluffy Vanilla Frosting – this frosting is magical! It’s like a cross between whipped cream and buttercream. Vanilla Buttercream – White frosting on chocolate cupcakes looks striking and makes for a lovely flavour combination! Use the recipe in my Vanilla Cake recipe – it will frost 12 cupcakes generously (tall swirls) though if you just want to smear it on then you can halve the batch and I don’t recommend piping this on in tall swirls, it would be overly rich I feel! Once melted, it’s cooled until it thicken into a spreadable consistency. Speedy Chocolate Fudge Frosting (pictured below, in recipe card) – made with cocoa powder mixed with melted butter, then thickened with icing sugar/frosting until it’s a spreadable consistency, this frosting is quite rich so I’d recommend just spreading onto the cupcakes rather than piping tall swirls ĭecadent Chocolate Ganache Frosting – made with melted chocolate and cream, this is a deluxe chocolate frosting that I use for my sinfully decadent Chocolate Fudge Cake. 😇 Pipe on swirls, or spread on with a knife Hard to go past chocolate-on-chocolate, but I will put forward some non chocolate options too!Ĭhocolate Buttercream – I realise how ironic it is that I’d feature these cupcakes with tall swirls of buttercream frosting which calls for both softened butter and and stand mixer! 😂 But hey, frosting is worth the effort. But for the easy of this recipe, it is a very small price to pay.īesides, no cupcake ever leaves my kitchen without frosting!!! Have a sweet dome, shaped such that it looks nice enough if you just dust with icing sugar / powdered sugar, but flat enough to pipe on tall swirls of frosting.īeing the quick and easy version these are, you’ll notice that the surface of the dome does have some small cracks on it. Like Red Velvet Cake – it should be “velvety” Īctually taste of chocolate (unfortunate many lack this!) ĭelicate, but still be sturdy enough to support a generous pile of frosting and And the difference between this Easy version and the Perfect version is so insignificant, I don’t care.Īnd so it was settled. It’s my “go to”, the one I can make right now, without waiting for butter to soften, without pulling out my hand beater.

And I wanted to be able to talk to you about how perfect they are.īut you know what? The Perfect version is not the one I make the most. I was tempted to go for a “100% perfect” version which requires a stand mixer / electric beater to cream butter. I was back and forth about which cupcake recipe to share. But in the cupcake world, I truly do believe these to be the best that can be for a simple no-standmixer, no creaming butter recipe. I do feel a bit uncomfortable saying that these are the BEST Easy Chocolate Cupcakes. Using the term “BEST” is not something I do lightly. No waiting for butter to soften, no creaming, the batter is simple and quick to make. The Best EASY Chocolate Cupcakes are moist, have a tender crumb, are deeply chocolatey and made without an electric beater.
