Fastest Fudge Cake Or Cupcakes Recipes

CHOCOLATE FUDGE CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3 and line a 12-hole muffin tin with cases. Gently melt the butter, chocolate, sugar and 100ml hot water together in a large saucepan, stirring occasionally, then set aside to cool a little while you weigh the other ingredients.
• Stir the eggs and vanilla into the chocolate mixture. Put the flour into a large mixing bowl, then stir in the chocolate mixture until smooth. Spoon into cases until just over three-quarters full (you may have a little mixture leftover), then set aside for 5 mins before putting on a low shelf in the oven and baking for 20-22 mins. Leave to cool.
• For the icing, melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pan of barely simmering water. Once melted, turn off the heat, stir in the double cream and sift in the icing sugar. When spreadable, top each cake with some and decorate with your favourite sprinkles and sweets.

FUDGY FILLED CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 30 muffin cups with paper or foil liners.
• Mix cream cheese, sugar, and egg together in a small bowl for the filling. Fold in chocolate chips; set aside.
• Place butter, chocolate chips, and vanilla extract for the cupcakes in the top of a double boiler over simmering water. Stir frequently, scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching, until chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow to cool slightly.
• Beat eggs in a large bowl with a whisk or an electric mixer until frothy. Beat in sugar gradually until it dissolves. Slowly beat in flour. Fold in the cooled chocolate mixture. Fill the prepared cupcake liners 1/3 full with chocolate batter. Drop a heaping teaspoon of filling onto each cupcake, then cover with a generous spoonful of batter.
• Bake in the preheated oven until tops spring back when lightly pressed, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool in the tins for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

EASY CHOCOLATE FUDGE CAKE

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Oil and line the base of two 18cm sandwich tins. Sieve the flour, cocoa powder and bicarbonate of soda into a bowl. Add the caster sugar and mix well.
• Make a well in the centre and add the golden syrup, eggs, sunflower oil and milk. Beat well with an electric whisk until smooth.
• Pour the mixture into the two tins and bake for 25-30 mins until risen and firm to the touch. Remove from oven, leave to cool for 10 mins before turning out onto a cooling rack.
• To make the icing, beat the unsalted butter in a bowl until soft. Gradually sieve and beat in the icing sugar and cocoa powder, then add enough of the milk to make the icing fluffy and spreadable.
• Sandwich the two cakes together with the butter icing and cover the sides and the top of the cake with more icing.

FASTEST FUDGE CAKE OR CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Grease a 8-inch square or 9-inch round pan or put 12 cupcake papers in a cupcake pan and one extra in a custard cup.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• To make the cake, whisk the flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt together. Sift only if the cocoa remains lumpy, set aside. (I sifted it through a fine strainer as I combined it with the wet ingredients in step 5).
• In a large bowl, combine the warm melted butter and brown sugar. Add the eggs and vanilla and stir until well blended.
• Add all of the flour mixture at once.
• Using a rubber spatula or wooden spoon - stir only until all the flour is moistened.
• Pour the hot water over the batter all at once.
• Stir only until the water is incorporated and the batter is smooth.
• Scrape the batter into the pan (or cupcakes - to do that efficiently I scrape the batter into a 4 cup measuring cup and then easily pour it into the cupcake liners.
• Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean. Cake - 25 to 30 minutes, cupcakes 17 - 22 minutes. Cool the cake in the pan on a rack for about 10 minutes before unmolding. To unmold, slide a slim knife around the edges of the cake to release it from the pan. Invert the cake. Turn the cake right side up and cool completely on a rack before frosting the top and sides. Or cool the cake in the pan and frost only the top. Cupcakes can cool in the pan and remove & frost when cool.
• While the cake cooks, make the FAST FUDGE FROSTING:.
• In a medium saucepan, melt the butter.
• Stir in the sugar, cocoa, and salt.
• Gradually stir in the cream.
• Heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture is smooth and hot but not boiling.
• Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla.
• Cool until thickened to the consistency of frosting(takes a while at room temp - try putting in fridge to speed up, but watch it!) or use as a warm glaze or sauce.
• Store leftover frosting in the refrigerator.
• Rewarm gently in the microwave before using.
