Chocolate Cupcakes With Italian Meringue Buttercream

The Perfect Chocolate Cupcake Recipe



Ingredients

To create these decadent chocolate cupcakes, you will need the following ingredients:



- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour

- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda

- 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

- 2 cups granulated sugar

- 2 large eggs

- 1 cup whole milk

- 1/2 cup vegetable oil

- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

- 1 cup boiling water

Instructions

Follow these step-by-step instructions to create the most decadent chocolate cupcakes:



- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake tray with paper liners.

- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, cocoa powder, and granulated sugar until well combined.

- Add the eggs, whole milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix on medium speed until the batter is smooth and well incorporated.

- Gradually add the boiling water to the batter while mixing on low speed. The batter will be thin, but that's perfectly normal.

- Fill each cupcake liner about two-thirds full with the batter.

- Bake for approximately 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.

- Remove the cupcakes from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack.

Italian Meringue Buttercream



No chocolate cupcake is complete without a luxurious Italian meringue buttercream. Follow these simple steps to create the perfect frosting:



Italian Meringue Buttercream Ingredients

- 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar

- 1/4 cup water

- 5 large egg whites

- 1 1/2 cups unsalted butter, softened

- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Italian Meringue Buttercream Instructions

- In a small saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and water. Heat over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture reaches 240°F (115°C) on a candy thermometer.

- While the sugar syrup is heating, place the egg whites in a large mixing bowl and beat them on medium speed until soft peaks form.

- With the mixer running on low speed, slowly pour the hot sugar syrup into the beaten egg whites, avoiding the beaters.

- Increase the mixer speed to high and beat until the meringue reaches room temperature and forms stiff peaks.

- Reduce the mixer speed to medium-low and gradually add the softened butter, a few tablespoons at a time, until incorporated.

- Beat in the vanilla extract until the buttercream is smooth and fluffy.

Assembly and Serving



Now that you have baked the decadent chocolate cupcakes and prepared the luscious Italian meringue buttercream, it's time to assemble and serve these indulgent treats:



- Once the cupcakes have completely cooled, generously pipe or spread the Italian meringue buttercream on top of each cupcake.

- For an extra touch of elegance, you can garnish the cupcakes with chocolate shavings or a drizzle of melted chocolate.

- Serve and savor these decadent chocolate cupcakes with Italian meringue buttercream at any special occasion or treat yourself to a delightful dessert experience.
