Black And White Cupcakes Recipes

BLACK-AND-WHITE CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Position the racks to divide the oven into thirds, and heat to 350 degrees. Line 18 muffin cups with cupcake papers, or grease the tins.
• Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
• Working with a mixer, beat the butter and sugar together on medium speed until light and fluffy, 3-4 minutes. Add the whole eggs and the yolk one at a time, mixing well after each goes in. Beat in the vanilla.
• On low speed, mix in the dry ingredients in three additions and the buttermilk in two, scraping the bowl, as needed, and beating until the batter is smooth. Mix in the chips.
• Divide the batter among the muffin cups. Bake for 20-22 minutes - rotating the pans top to bottom and front to back after 10 minutes - or until the tops feel springy to the touch (they won't color much) and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool to room temperature. Frost, and cover with sprinkles, if you'd like, before the frosting dries.
• Put the chocolate in a heatproof bowl, and fit it into a saucepan of simmering water - don't let the bottom of the bowl touch the water. Melt the chocolate, stirring occasionally. Remove the bowl from the heat, whisk in the sugar and let rest on the counter for 3 minutes. Bit by bit, whisk in the cold butter, mixing until smooth and thickened just enough to spread. Use immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line twenty-four 2 1/2-inch muffin cups with paper baking cups and set aside. In a large bowl, combine the chocolate milk, oil, eggs and the cake mix; beat with an electric mixer on low speed for 30 seconds. Using a rubber spatula, scrape down sides of the bowl and beat on medium speed for 2 minutes more. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each two-thirds full. Bake until a wooden pick inserted in the centers comes out clean, 18 to 24 minutes. Remove from the muffin tins and cool on wire racks. For the marshmallow filling, in a large microwave-safe bowl, microwave the butter on high setting (100 percent power) for 20 seconds. Stir in the marshmallow creme. Microwave on medium setting (50 percent power) for 1 minute more. Cool for 2 minutes, and then beat with an electric mixer until smooth. Make a 1/2-inch slit in the bottom center of each cupcake. Spoon the marshmallow filling into a pastry bag fitted with a round tip. Pipe the filling into the slits in the cupcakes. Place the chocolate chips in a medium microwave-safe bowl and set aside. In a small saucepan, combine the cream and corn syrup. Cook over medium heat just until boiling. Pour over the chocolate chips and stir until completely smooth. If not completely smooth, microwave on medium setting (50 percent power) for 2 minutes. Cool until the mixture thickens, about 5 minutes. Dip the cupcake tops into the chocolate mixture. If necessary, use a knife to smooth the tops. Place the cupcakes into another paper liner and let the chocolate harden a bit. Spoon the vanilla frosting into a pastry bag filled with a small round tip. Pipe a line of small loops across the center of each cupcake. Allow the chocolate mixture to set.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Line 24 muffin cups with cupcake liners.
• To a medium bowl, add the cake mix, eggs, yogurt, flour and 1 cup water. Using a hand-held mixer, beat the mixture until completely smooth and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Remove half of the batter to a separate bowl. To one of the bowls of batter, add 1/4 cup of the cocoa powder and continue to mix until combined, about a minute more.
• Using a 1-tablespoon ice cream scoop, scoop 1 heaping tablespoon of the vanilla batter onto one side of all of the muffin cups. Scoop a heaping tablespoon of the chocolate batter right next to the vanilla scoop so it is half chocolate, half vanilla. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the middle of a cupcake comes out clean, about 15 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes in the tin and then remove the cupcakes to a wire rack to cool completely.
• Meanwhile, place the butter, confectioners' sugar, vanilla and salt in a large bowl. Using a hand-held mixer, beat the mixture on medium-high speed for 3 minutes. Remove half of the frosting from the bowl and reserve as vanilla. Fold the remaining 1/2 cup cocoa powder into the remaining half of the frosting.
• Using a rubber spatula, spoon the vanilla frosting into a resealable plastic baggie or a pastry bag. Spoon the chocolate into a separate bag. Snip the tips of the bags and pipe the frosting in two spirals on top of the cooled cupcakes. Swirl the tops with a spoon. You should get a little of each flavor on each cupcake! Top each cupcake with 3 M&M's. Store, covered, at room temperature.
