Chocolaty, soft and moist snickers cupcakes with whipped cream frosting is the dessert that I was wishing to have for a long time. I made them a long ago and filmed a video too, but couldn’t post because I was unwell and spent two days on the hospital bed and the rest of the week on my bed. I wasn’t able to stand or sit for a long time, but now as am getting well, I finally edited the video.
I had an Easter cupcakes video all ready to be uploaded a day before Easter, but that’s the day I was admitted so couldn’t do much with the video and it is lying on my laptop, edited and ready to be uploaded but now Easter has gone… this was such a disappointment for me!
Things you’ll Need:
- Flour- 1 cup
- Powdered sugar- 3/4 cup
- Snickers (75g)- chopped
- Cocoa powder- 1/4 cup
- Baking powder- 1 tsp
- Baking soda- 1/2 tsp
- Vanilla extract- 1 tsp
- Salt- a pinch
- Vegetable oil- 1/4 cup
- Curd- 1/2 cup
- Milk- 2 tbsp
- Chocolate syrup- for garnish
For frosting:
- Whipping cream- 1/2 cup
- Powdered sugar- 2 tbsp
- Vanilla extract- 1/2 tsp
Recipe:
Making the cupcakes:
- Preheat the microwave/ oven at 180°C.
- Take curd in a mixing bowl, add in sugar and whisk them. Then, add in vanilla extract and oil. Whisk all the wet ingredients.
- Now, take a sift and sift in flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and a pinch of salt. Give the dry ingredients a gentle whisk and add all the milk. Whisk it until a smooth batter is formed.
- Pour the batter in greased cupcake moulds (I used silicon moulds). Bake them for 20 to 22 minutes.
- After they’re baked, cool them for 10 to 20 minutes before icing.
Frosting:
- Take 1/2 cup cream in a bowl and whip it with an electric or hand whisk lightly until it is frothy.
- Add in powdered sugar and vanilla extract at this point and whisk it till it reaches soft peaks.
- Then, fold the cream with a spatula to make sure that all the sugar is combined.
- Take the frosting in a piping bag. I used a 2 d nozzle, you can use any nozzle you prefer or just scoop out a dollop of whipped cream on the top of each cupcake.
- Garnish the cupcake frosting with some chopped snickers and drizzle some chocolate syrup on the top.
- Chill for about 10 minutes before serving.
