Chocolate Cupcakes: Instructions
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
4. In a medium sized bowl, sift the cocoa powder, flour, baking soda,
baking powder, and salt together until thoroughly combined.
6. Slowly add in the flour mixture, about 1/4 cup at a time with the
stand mixer on low.
7. As soon as you are done adding the flour turn the mixer off. (You
do not want to over-mix!)
9. Fill the cupcake liners 2/3 of the way full with batter. Bake for 15-
18 minutes. The center of the cupcake should spring back up if gently
pressed.
Chocolate Frosting
3. With the mixer off, add in cocoa powder, vanilla and salt.
6. Once all cream has been added and mixture is mostly combined,
turn off the mixer and scrape down the sides of the bowl.
7. Now turn the mixer onto medium-high to high and whisk for 3-5
minutes or until mixture is lighter and fluffier. The frosting will be
shiny and seem to have many large air bubbles throughout and this is
exactly what we are going for. (You can smooth those out on the
cake if so desired.)
You can see how I did it here. (I used a 1M tip in the post but it is the
same technique )
When you are done drizzling caramel sauce (I used a store bought
sauce) you can sprinkle with heath chips. Heath chips can be found in
the baking isle right next to the chocolate morsels and they are buttery
toffee bits of deliciousness!
Now, these cupcakes kinda “break the rules” when it comes to
traditional chocolate cupcakes:
The messier, the better. Drizzle that caramel sauce all over, being sure
to let it drip over the sides and onto whatever surface you serve them
on. Then drop the heath chips over top… they will bounce and fall
everywhere and that is not only OK, it’s Fabulous.
