Hello everybody! Since I wrote about
cupcakes for the food magazine I thought that it would be nice if I show you
how to make some on your own. Therefore I baked the dough yesterday and mixed
the cream for the topping today. Read on to find out more about the recipe. This
recipe is for 20 cupcakes.

o
1
packet of baking powder
o
4
eggs
o
1
tablespoon of cocoa powder
o
130
ml of oil

170
g of icing sugar

o
75

cooking chocolate
o
50
g of icing sugar
o
125
g quark (20% grease)
o
250
g mascarpone
o
As
much extra icing sugar as you like ;)
At first mix the flour and the
baking powder in a bowl. Mix the eggs in another dish until they get quite
frothy. Slowly add the water and oil to the eggs. Then carefully trickle the
flour to the mass. Now add the cocoa powder, the grated lemon peel and 170 g of
the icing sugar. Afterwards mix the batter with a hand mixer on the lowest speed.
Line a 12 bun muffin tin with muffin
cases and carefully pour the batter into the hollows. Fill the mixture into the
paper cases until they are half full. Now bake it at a temperature of 180°C
(upper and bottom heat) in a preheated oven. Bake it about 40 minutes, and then
let them cool down.
While the cupcakes are baking you
can start with the cream for the topping. Melt the butter in a pot at low
temperature. Then add the chocolate and also wait until it melts. Let it cool
down by putting the pot into the sink filled with cold water. Now whip the
cream until it gets stiff and add the cooled down chocolate with the butter and
50 g of icing sugar to the cream and mix it well. Place the mass in the refrigerator
until the muffins are ready and cooled down.
Now mix the quark, the mascarpone
and the icing sugar with a hand mixer, but only for about 5 seconds. Add the
mass from the refrigerator and mix it until the consistency becomes smooth and
thick. Fill it into a piping bag and top your muffins with it. At last, just
decorate your cupcakes as you wish. Voilà!
Have fun and don’t forget to share
your cupcakes with your family and friends! -J
