Chocolate cupcakes with cream

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   The products we need (if desired, you can add vanilla or coffee liqueur)

2. Step 2:

   

   Break the chocolate into pieces, add the diced butter and melt it all. I melted it in the microwave.

3. Step 3:

   

   Leave the melted chocolate-butter mixture for 5 minutes to cool down a little.

4. Step 4:

   

   Add sugar, stir thoroughly so that it dissolves.

5. Step 5:

   

   Add the eggs and mix too.

6. Step 6:

   

   Add sour cream (I have a mixture of sour cream and kefir)

7. Step 7:

   

   Sift flour, cocoa and baking powder and mix into the dough in 2 steps.

8. Step 8:

   

   Mix well, we get a fairly thick dough.

10. Step 9:

    

    Spread the dough on the molds and bake in a preheated 180 C oven for about 25-30 minutes (check readiness with a skewer). Ready-made cupcakes are allowed to cool, if desired, they can simply be decorated with powdered sugar, but I decorated them with cream.

11. Step 10:

    

    For buttercream, we take butter, cream cheese, powdered sugar and chocolate.

12. Step 11:

    

    Melt the chocolate. Beat butter with cream cheese until fluffy.

13. Step 12:

    

    Add powdered sugar (you can adjust its amount to your taste). In general, this is a ready-made cream, but vanilla, to it you can add 1 tsp vanilla tincture and decorate, but I wanted chocolate cream.

14. Step 13:

    

    Add the melted (already cooled) chocolate and whisk.

15. Step 14:

    

    This is the kind of cream we get.

16. Step 15:

    

    Bon appetit!
