Here’s the recipe for Chocolate And Vanilla Cupcakes.
Ingredients:
• ¾ cup powdered sugar
• ½ cup butter
• 1 cup curd
• 1½ cup besan
• 1¼ tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp baking soda
• A pinch of cardamom powder
• 1 tsp vanilla essence
For the chocolate ganache:
• 2 cups of whipped cream
• 1½ cup dark chocolate
For buttercream:
• ½ cup butter
• ¼ cup powdered sugar
• 1 tbsp whipped cream
• ½ tsp vanilla essence
Method:
• In a mixing dish, combine the butter and sugar and whisk until frothy and creamy white.
• Then, while whisking, gradually add in the curd, and combine all three ingredients.
• Avoid over-whisking the curd.
• You can also add vanilla essence to the batter at this time.
• In a separate bowl, combine the besan, cardamom powder, baking soda, and baking powder.
• Besan is to be sieved to ensure that the gram flour is completely lump-free.
• Once everything is blended, add the dry mixture in small batches to the wet mixture.
• The dry components should be combined with the wet using a spatula.
• Grease the baking trays and fill each with around 100 grams of batter.
• Bake for 20 to 22 minutes at 180 C in a preheated oven.
• After the besan cake has finished cooking, remove it from the oven, let it cool for two to three minutes.
• Then invert the cake pans onto a cooling rack and shake or tap them to release the cake.
• Chocolate should be melted over a double boiler.
• After the chocolate has melted, let it cool for a short while, then whisk with some whipped cream.
• After that, add the remaining whipped cream in two batches, folding each batch into the chocolate to fully incorporate it.
• Transfer to a piping bag, allow to cool, and then chill once more to achieve a pipe-able consistency.
• Add the soft butter and powdered sugar to a bowl.
• They should be whisked until the butter puffs up and turns light and pale in colour.
• Add the cream and vanilla extract and whisk again to combine.
• Butter cream should be placed in a piping bag and refrigerated for at least 30 minutes before usage.
