Chocolate cupcake with chocolate icing
Ingredients for the base:
- Eggs – 2 pcs. (small).
- Kefir or low-fat sour cream – 400 ml.
- Sugar – 350 gr.
- Vegetable oil – 4 tablespoons.
- Flour – 2 level cups (300-350 g).
- Cocoa powder – 4 tablespoons (unsweetened).
- Baking powder – 2 teaspoons.
Ingredients for the glaze:
- Butter – 30g.
- Heavy sour cream or cream – 100 gr.
- Sugar – 80-100 g (to taste).
- Cocoa powder – 100 gr.
Base recipe:
- Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Prepare the baking pan by greasing it with butter and lining the bottom with parchment paper. Alternatively, use baking spray.
- Mix kefir/sour cream with eggs, gradually pour vegetable oil into this mixture and stir until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the flour and baking powder. Add the cocoa powder and sugar and mix thoroughly.
- Add the dry mixture to the kefir-oil mixture and stir until completely smooth.
- The next step is to pour the dough into the pan and place it in the oven for 40-45 minutes.
- Five minutes before the end of cooking, use a toothpick to check if the dessert is cooked through. If there's still batter on the toothpick, bake for another 7 minutes. Don't worry if the crust cracks on top—that's normal; we'll be frosting it later.
- Once the cake has risen, turn off the oven, remove it, and let it cool. Meanwhile, let's make the glaze.
Glaze recipe:
- Combine butter and sour cream/cream in a small saucepan with a thick bottom.
- Place the pan on low heat and begin stirring vigorously, gradually adding sugar.
- Once we have added all the sugar, add cocoa powder to the mixture and continue stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved and the mixture begins to boil.
- As soon as the mixture boils, immediately turn off the heat, but do not stop stirring the mixture until it cools slightly.
- Place the cooled base on a plate and begin to coat it with glaze so that the top is completely coated and a little glaze flows beautifully down the sides.
The cake is ready! Now you just need to wait a little while for the glaze to set, and you can enjoy this magnificent dessert! Just don't forget to take a photo of your creation before cutting it.
