Chocolate cupcakes in silicone molds

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make chocolate cupcakes in silicone molds? Measure out the required ingredients. Remove the butter from the refrigerator in advance so that it becomes soft. Instead of vanilla sugar, you can use vanillin. For a richer chocolate flavor, use chocolate with at least 50% cocoa content.

2. STEP 2

   

   Mix flour with baking powder and sift. Sifting will saturate the flour with oxygen, and the muffins will rise well during baking and turn out porous. If using vanillin, add it to the flour mixture too.

3. STEP 3

   

   Brew cocoa with 100 ml of boiling water, stir thoroughly until the lumps disappear.

4. STEP 4

   

   Add the remaining 100 ml of water to the brewed cocoa until the cocoa comes to room temperature.

5. STEP 5

   

   Using a mixer, beat soft butter with sugar, vanilla sugar and salt until fluffy.

6. STEP 6

   

   Add eggs to the butter mixture, one at a time, beating well after each.

7. STEP 7

   

   Beat until smooth.

8. STEP 8

   

   Pour in the diluted cocoa and beat again.

9. STEP 9

   

   Add flour sifted with baking powder into the resulting mass.

10. STEP 10

    

    Beat with a mixer at low speed until a homogeneous thick dough is obtained. There is no need to beat for a long time.

11. STEP 11

    

    Place chocolate dough into silicone molds, filling the molds about 1/3 full.

12. STEP 12

    

    Insert a piece of chocolate into the middle of each mold.

13. STEP 13

    

    Place the dough on top, filling the molds 2/3 full.

14. STEP 14

    

    Bake the cupcakes in an oven preheated to 180C for about 30 minutes. Check readiness with a skewer. If it comes out of the cake dry, the baked goods are ready. Determine the cooking time and mode based on the operating characteristics of your oven. Cool the finished muffins a little, remove from the molds and let cool completely. I got 15 small cupcakes.

15. STEP 15

    

    Prepare the chocolate glaze.

16. STEP 16

    

    Combine butter with milk and heat until hot. You can do this on the stove or in the microwave.

17. STEP 17

    

    Place chocolate slices into hot milk mixture. Stir well until the chocolate is completely melted.

18. STEP 18

    

    The result is a homogeneous glossy chocolate glaze.

19. STEP 19

    

    Dip the top of each cupcake into the frosting and let sit for 15-20 minutes to allow the frosting to dry a little.

20. STEP 20

    

    Before serving, chocolate cupcakes can be decorated as desired. I have white chocolate and mint leaves. Bon appetit!

Very tasty, simple and chocolate recipe. I prepare it for breakfast with coffee (sometimes I make the mixture in the evening, then everything is prepared very quickly). The structure is very soft, airy, loose, the smell is simply indescribable.

Incredibly delicious!!! But a very small portion: it turned out to be 9 muffins (d6.5 cm molds). Amazing chocolate taste!!! To everyone who will cook - MIX A DOUBLE PORTION AT A TIME! It is eaten instantly, with great pleasure. A million thanks from my family!
