Best Chocolate Amaretto Cupcakes Recipes
GLUTEN-FREE, LOW-CARB CHOCOLATE AMARETTO CREAM CHEESE CUPCAKES
My husband loves butterscotch and caramel in every form and shape, so I was happy to find a new kind of butterscotch chocolate which I bought him. Unluckily it turned out to be the worst butterscotch chocolate I ever had the misfortune to buy, so I invented this to use it up. You need not buy the worst butterscotch chocolate you can find. You may use any kind you like ;-) In fact the butterscotch chocolate thing and the amaretto are the only "bad" ingredients. If you have no amaretto liqueur or don't want to use it, you can use almond syrup or almond essence instead.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350° F (320° F when fan assisted).
- Cream cheese filling:.
- chop butterscotch chocolate (if you don't use chips).
- dissolve starch in amaretto (or almond essence or syrup with 1 or 2 tablespoons cold water).
- stir in cream cheese until creamy.
- stir in maple syrup.
- stir in chopped chocolate.
- chocolate batter:.
- combine almond flower, guar gum or xanthan gum and baking powder in a bowl.
- beat egg whites until stiff peaks form, set aside.
- in a double boiler, melt chocolate and butter.
- in a seperate bowl, cream egg yolks and agave nectar.
- stir amaretto into melted butter-chocolate mix.
- cream melted butter-chocolate-amaretto mix and egg yolk-agave nectar.
- stir dry ingredients into that cream.
- fold in egg whites.
- line six cupcake cups with paper liners.
- divide the chocolate batter and fill one dollop of the first half into the bottom of each cupcake cup.
- fill one dollop of cream cheese filling on top of each portion.
- cover with the second half of the chocolate batter.
- bake at 350° F (or 320° F fan assisted) for about 15-20 minutes. The surface of the cakes will spring and crack. Don't mind if you can see the filling, and don't mind if it looks liquid. It will solidify after cooling.
- Immediately remove the cakes from the cups and let cool on a rack.
- You can eat them hot, like my husband did, they will be a bit like molten lava cakes or some kind of pudding. Or you can let them cool and top with you favourite frosting.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350°F. Place foil or paper baking cup in each of 24 regular-size muffin cups.
- In medium bowl, mix 1 1/2 cups flour, the cocoa, baking soda and salt; set aside. In large bowl, beat oil and granulated sugar with electric mixer on medium speed. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. On low speed, alternately add flour mixture, about one-third at a time, and 3/4 cup milk, about half at a time, beating just until blended.
- Divide batter evenly among muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
- Bake foil-lined cupcakes 13 to 17 minutes, paper-lined cupcakes 14 to 18 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 5 minutes. Remove cupcakes from pans to cooling racks. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in 1-quart saucepan, cook and stir 3/4 cup milk and 1/4 cup flour with whisk over medium heat until thick, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat; cool completely, about 1 hour.
- In medium bowl, beat butter and powdered sugar with electric mixer on low speed until smooth. Add cooled milk mixture; beat until light and fluffy. Beat in amaretto. Add additional powdered sugar, if necessary, to achieve desired spreading consistency.
- Frost cupcakes. Top each cupcake with 1 teaspoon chopped chocolate; drizzle with 1/2 teaspoon chocolate syrup.

Steps:
- 1. Follow directions on the bettycrocker box for making the cupcakes. I put in the cupcakes for like 18 minutes but I have an electric oven... It might be different for everyone I would do 18-20 minutes and poke the cupcake with a noodle to see if it's done.
- 2. Stir in amaretto once you've put in oil, eggs and water. stir well and you will have super deliecious cupcakes when they are done
