BLACK-AND-WHITE CUPCAKES WITH CREAM CHEESE FROSTING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 F. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
• Whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, beat the eggs and granulated sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and foamy, about 2 minutes. While beating, gradually pour in the butter and then the vanilla, mixing until combined.
• Reduce the mixer speed to low and add half of the flour mixture, mixing until just combined. Add the milk, mixing until combined, and then the remaining flour mixture, mixing until just incorporated. Transfer one-third of the batter (about 1 cup) to a small bowl and stir in the cocoa powder. Alternate dropping spoonfuls of each batter into each cupcake liner, using a larger spoon for the white batter and a smaller spoon for the chocolate batter. Swirl the batters with an offset spatula or a skewer.
• Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cupcakes comes out clean, 18 to 20 minutes. Cool the cupcakes in the tin on a rack for 10 minutes, then remove from the tin and cool completely.
• Beat together the cream cheese and butter using an electric mixer on medium speed until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Beat in the vanilla and lemon juice. Reduce the mixer speed to low and gradually add the confectioners' sugar, beating until well combined.
• Transfer the frosting to a piping bag or a resealable plastic bag and pipe the frosting onto the tops of the cupcakes.

ULTIMATE WHITE CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and position a rack in the middle of the oven. Line one 12-cup standard muffin tin with cupcake liners.
• Sift the flour, baking powder and salt into a medium bowl. Stir the milk and vanilla together in a small bowl. Set aside.
• Add the butter to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment (or in a large bowl if using a handheld electric mixer).
• Mix on low speed until the butter is smooth, about 1 minute. Gradually beat in 1/2 cup of the sugar. Increase the speed to high and beat until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
• Reduce the mixer speed to low. Add about one-third of the flour mixture and beat until just combined. Add half the milk mixture and beat until smooth. Repeat, adding flour, then milk, and then the rest of the flour, stopping and scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Increase the mixer speed to medium and beat briefly to make a smooth batter.
• Put the egg whites in a clean bowl. Whip on high speed until foamy. Gradually add the remaining 1/4 cup sugar and continue to beat until the egg whites are glossy and hold stiff peaks, about 10 minutes. Fold the whites into the batter in three batches. Divide the cake batter evenly between the liners.
• Bake until a tester inserted in the center of the cakes comes out clean, rotating the tin about halfway through, about 20 minutes.
• Cool the cupcakes on a rack in the tin for 10 minutes, and then remove from the tin. Cool on the rack completely.

BLACK AND WHITE CUPCAKES

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.

BLACK AND WHITE CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. 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.

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.

BLACK AND WHITE CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Line 2 muffin tins with cupcake papers.
• In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese, egg, and one third cup of sugar on the medium speed of an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Stir in the chocolate chips and set aside.
• In a large bowl, thoroughly combine the flour, the remaining cup of sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the water, oil, vinegar, and vanilla. Mix the wet and dry ingredients until just blended.
• Fill each muffin cup one-third full with the cocoa batter, then top with a spoonful of the cream cheese mixture until the paper is about two-thirds full. Bake 25 to 30 minutes, or until the tops spring back when lightly touched. Let the cupcakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Remove from the pans and cool completely on a wire rack.
