Today I was invited to a dinner and decided to bring dessert.
I remembered I once made very tasty chocolate cupcakes, but looking back at the recipe, I saw I needed mascarpone but didn't have any in the house.
Since I had no time to buy some, I decided to try something new with what I had, but still following the guidelines of the recipe with regards to how to treat chocolate when making cupcakes.
To make 6, all you need is:
To bake:
-Cupcake tray (or individual cupcake aluminum holders)
For the mixture:
-A bar of dark chocolate (100g)
-Butter (40g)
-Self-raising flour (30g)
-Sugar (2 tablespoons)
-Cocoa powder (or alternatively hot chocolate mix) (2 tablespoons)
-Milk (1 tablespoon)
To serve:
-A bar of white chocolate (100g)
-Rich tea round biscuits
It's extremely simple and cheap. Here's the procedure:
Preparation:
-Pre-heat oven on medium heat (150-200 degrees, gas mark 6)
-Melt the dark chocolate and the butter
-Mix them together
-Add a full teaspoon of the mixture onto each cupcake holder to cover the bottom of each cupcake
-Then, in another container, add the flour, sugar, milk and cocoa powder together
-If the mixture looks too stiff, add more milk. The consistency should be dough-like
-Finally, add this layer on top of the previous one that you already put inside each cupcake holder
-Bake for 10-15 minutes then remove from oven.
-Just before serving, cook for another 5-10 minutes, always on medium heat.
-Check if dough is cooked with a spaghetti or toothpick and remove from oven if the spaghetti/toothpick comes out clean (after you've inserted it in the mixture)
To Serve:
-As soon as you take cupcakes out of the oven, put a rich tea biscuit on top of each of the cupcakes
-Turn each cupcake upside down with the help of the biscuit (i.e. wider circumference down) on an individual serving plate. [At this moment, the rich tea biscuit should serve as a base for the the upside-down cupcake]
-Put on top of each soufflé a white chocolate square and let it melt
-Serve immediately and Buon Appetito!
Please comment on this recipe and let me know if you like it.
If anybody tries it with gluten-free flour mix let me know!
I think it should be suitable...
