BROWNIE CUPCAKES RECIPE



Brownie Cupcakes Recipe image

These brownie cupcakes are fudgy and rich, just like brownies. They are topped with the silkiest dark chocolate buttercream that literally melts in your mouth. You only need a few ingredients and little prep time to make a batch of these. Be prepared for them to disappear quickly as they are a huge crowd pleaser.

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
2 cups granulated white sugar
4 large eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup dutch-processed cocoa powder, spooned and leveled
1 cup all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
1 tsp salt
1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 cups powdered sugar sifted
6 oz semi-sweet chocolate bars, melted and cooled

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F / 175°C. Line two 12 cup muffin pans with 12-14 cupcake liners and set aside.
  • Cupcakes: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla until well combined. Sift in the flour, cocoa and salt and stir just until combined. Using an ice cream scoop, spoon the batter into the prepared liners. Fill them about 3/4 to almost full.
  • Bake for 22-26 minutes until the tops look crinkly and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out slightly dirty. Do not overbake them or they will become cakey. Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes. Then remove from the pan and transfer to a wire rack and allow to cool completely before frosting.
  • Frosting: In a large mixing bowl, using an electric mixer fitted with a whisk or paddle attachment, beat butter on medium-high speed until soft and creamy, about 2-3 minutes. Sift in the powdered sugar and mix until fully combined and smooth. Add the chocolate and mix until well combined and creamy. Pipe or spread onto the cooled cupcakes and serve. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Categories     Cakes/Cupcakes

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 ounces bittersweet or semisweet chocolate (chopped (see note))
1/2 cup salted butter
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 large eggs
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
[Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Frosting] (or other frosting of your choice)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Place a rack in the center of the oven. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  • In a medium microwave-safe bowl, add the chopped chocolate and butter (you can do this on this stovetop also). Microwave for one minute. Stir. Continue microwaving at 30-second intervals, stirring after each time, until the chocolate and butter is melted and combined (don't overheat; microwave until just melted and smooth).
  • Stir in the sugar and vanilla until well-combined. Add the eggs one at a time, stirring or whisking vigorously after each addition.
  • Stir in the flour and salt.
  • Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups. Bake for 17-20 minutes, until just baked through; don't overbake. The cupcakes won't be domed like a normal cakey cupcake - they'll be flatter and more dense like a delicious brownie.
  • Remove the cupcakes to a cooling rack to cool completely. Frost as desired and chill until ready to serve.

  • Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs, 22 to 24 minutes. Cool in the tins 5 minutes, then remove and cool completely on a wire rack.
  • Put the semisweet chocolate in a medium bowl. Heat the cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it just simmers.

Spread 1 tablespoon of glaze on top of each cupcake or dip the tops of the cupcakes into the glaze.

RICH DOUBLE CHOCOLATE BROWNIE CUPCAKES



Rich Double Chocolate Brownie Cupcakes image

I love making homemade brownies. I started off baking them from boxed mix but recently decided to learn to make brownies from scratch. I found a really easy recipe in an old cook book and after making the brownies a few times, I started experimenting with different ingredients and substitutions. The following recipe is my final product and if I do say so myself, these brownies are delicious. They are chocolaty and moist. I enjoy making everything in individual cupcakes, but you could easily make these in a pan. Just adjust the cooking time a bit and make sure to watch them closely. When baking brownies, I take them out of the oven a little bit before they are done because they will continue cooking while they cool off. This way they are never hard and over-done.

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 tablespoon(s) cocoa powder
8 tablespoon(s) unsalted buttter
1 cup(s) sugar in the raw
1 teaspoon(s) vanilla extract
1/2 cup(s) flour
1/4 teaspoon(s) salt
2 - eggs
- a hand-full of semi-sweet chocolate chips
- confectioners' sugar for topping

Steps:

  • Pre-heat oven to 325 F Place cupcake liners in pan
  • In a medium sized mixing bowl, melt butter and cocoa powder in microwave. Mix well. (This takes about a minutes in my microwave)
  • Stir in sugar, salt, vanilla, flour and then each egg, one at a time.
  • Throw in a hand-full of semi-sweet chocolate chips, fold in to batter.
  • Fill up each cupcake liner about half way.
  • Bake at 325 F for about 30 minutes. Time differs depending on the oven. At around 20 minutes, pull pan out and stick a fork in the middle brownie cupcake to check the batter. If the fort comes out with just a little batter on it, go ahead and take out of the oven. If not, leave them in longer and check every few minutes or so.
  • Once brownie cupcakes are done, take them out of pan and place on cooling rack. While cooling, sift a layer of confectioners' sugar on top.
  • Enjoy with your family and friends.
