MINI CHOCOLATE CUPCAKES



Mini Chocolate Cupcakes image

I'm very excited about this mini chocolate cupcake recipe. It saves time, money, and most of all, butter! I love using butter for cupcakes but it's pricey and you may notice your cupcake is a little dense if it's sitting out for a while. This recipe contains extra-virgin olive oil and no coffee. Use good quality cocoa powder because I do notice a difference when using generic. I hope you all enjoy it as much as I do! Happy baking!

Time 20m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 13

½ cup all-purpose flour
¼ cup light brown sugar
¼ cup white sugar
3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
¼ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
⅓ cup whole milk
1 egg
4 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
⅓ cup prepared chocolate pudding (such as Jell-O®)
¼ cup semisweet chocolate chips (such as Nestle® Toll House®), or to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 16 mini muffin cups with paper liners.
  • Mix flour, brown sugar, white sugar, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl. Break up clumps lightly with a whisk.
  • Mix milk, egg, oil, and vanilla extract together in a separate bowl until well incorporated. Whisk into the flour mixture until well incorporated and there are no clumps. Do not overmix the batter. Fold in pudding with a spatula while scraping the bottom of the bowl. Stir in chocolate chips; batter will be runny and not very thick.
  • Pour batter into the prepared cupcake cups with a Wilton® cookie scoop or measuring cup with a spout, filling each 2/3 full.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean, about 10 minutes.

One-Bowl Chocolate Cupcakes
Basic Buttercream
Gel-paste food coloring

Steps:

  • Line mini-muffin tins with mini paper liners. Divide chocolate cupcake batter among muffin cups, filling each 2/3 full. Bake cupcakes until testers inserted into centers come out clean, about 10 minutes. Let cool in tins on wire racks.
  • Reserve 1 cup frosting in a bowl. Divide remaining frosting among several bowls. (If making 1 color, place remaining frosting in a large bowl.) Dab a rubber spatula against a tiny drop of gel-paste coloring, and mix into a bowl of frosting. Add more, drop by drop, to reach desired color. Repeat with remaining frosting. If frosting is too dark, mix in some reserved white frosting. Frost cupcakes with tinted buttercream.
