Classic Chocolate Buttercream Cupcakes

7 CommentsBy zaza-cook
Classic Chocolate Buttercream Cupcakes

 

I enjoyed making these cupcakes! This classic recipe is easy and I love it!

These cupcakes are light, spongy and they have the right amount of chocolate. The buttercream chocolate frosting is rich and chocolaty. It’s a perfect recipe for any occasion, for anytime of the year.

My son, who is not a big fan of pastries, loved them. I was so surprised.

I will bake a batch again of these wonderful cupcakes topped with a delicious ganache.

If you are a big fan of chocolate and want a surprise inside, stir 3 tablespoons of semisweet chocolate chips and white chocolate chips into the batter.

Serves : 15-16 cupcakes  Preparation time : 25 minutes  Total time : 60 minutes

Ingredients :

For the cupcakes

  • 1 cup (2 sticks) (225 g) (8 oz) sweet butter, softened
  • 1 cup (200 g) (7.05 oz) granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups (180 g) (6.35 oz) cake flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 4 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup (125 ml) buttermilk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the frosting

  • 300 g (10 1/2 oz.) chopped semisweet chocolate
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) sweet butter, softened
  •  1 1/2 cups confectioners’ sugar, sifted

Directions :

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degree F. (175 degree C.). Place 16 paper baking cups in muffin pans.
  2. Combine the cupcakes ingredients in a large bowl and beat with an electric mixer until smooth, about 2 to 3 minutes.
  3. Spoon the batter into the cups. Bake for 20 to 22 minutes or until a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove pans from the oven and cool for 5 minutes. Then remove the cupcakes and cool on a rack.
  4. For the frosting, put the chocolate, cream and butter in a pan over low heat. Stir gently until combined. Remove from the heat and stir in the confectioners’ sugar until the mixture is smooth. Swirl onto the cupcakes.
