CHOCOLATE BROWNIE CUPCAKE

CHOCOLATE GLAZED CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray the bottoms 24 the cupcake molds with nonstick spray. Fill each with a double layer of cupcake papers. Alternatively, use a nonstick cupcake tin and spray the sides and bottoms with nonstick spray. Set aside.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, "cream" together the butter and granulated sugar until smooth, 3 to 5 minutes. Scrape down the sides with a rubber spatula and mix to blend. Add the brown sugar and continue mixing until both sugars are fully integrated and the butter soft, 3 to 5 additional minutes. With the mixer on a slow speed, add the eggs, 1 at a time.
• In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt and cinnamon. With the mixer still on low speed, gradually incorporate about half of the flour mixture. When fully mixed, add half of the yogurt. Add the remaining flour and the remaining yogurt. The batter will be fairly dense and thick. Fill the tins a little more than 3/4 full. For a mold that has between 3 and 4-ounce holes, I like to use a 1/3 cup measure, leveled, to fill each one with the same amount of batter. When the tray(s) are full, tap the tray a few times on a flat surface to level the batter out and put the tray(s) in the center of the oven.
• Bake for 8 minutes then rotate the cupcakes halfway. Bake for an additional 10 minutes. A cake tester, when inserted into the center of a cupcake, should emerge clean. Remove the cupcakes from the oven and allow them to cool for 5 minutes. Gingerly remove them from the tins so the heat from it doesn't continue to cook the cupcakes and risk drying them out. Set aside to cool completely.
• In a small, heatproof bowl, melt the chocolate over a pot of simmering water (a double boiler). In a small saucepan, gently heat the sour cream over low heat. When the cream begins to simmer, shut off the heat and whisk in the vanilla. Use the tablespoon measure to measure out the cocoa powder and add it to the sour cream. Whisk to blend. Without cleaning the spoon, measure the corn syrup and add it to the chocolate. The layer of cocoa powder on the spoon will prevent the corn syrup from clinging to the spoon making it easier to add the precise amount of syrup. When the chocolate has melted, remove from the heat and allow the cream and chocolate to "rest" for 5 minutes. Gently stir them together and set aside.
• When the cupcakes are cooled, spread the chocolate glaze over the tops and serve.

DOUBLE CHOCOLATE BROWNIE CUPCAKES

Steps:

• FOR BROWNIE CUPCAKE: Preheat oven to 350 Pour box mix into large bowl, set aside. In separate bowl add eggs, oil, melted butter and milk. Stir to combine. Add mixture into bowl with brownie mix and stir until smooth. Take out cupcake pan and coat with a non-stick spray. Scoop 2 tbs. of mixture into each section then place into oven for about 20 minute
• FOR CHOCOLATE GLAZE: While the brownies cook you should start on the glaze. Melt butter in medium sauce pan on low heat. While that melts in a small bowl add milk with the cocoa powder, stir & set aside. Once the butter is melted add your cocoa powder/milk mixture. Stir out clumps as the glaze thickens (Note: Watch carefully, it could burn!) Bring the liquid to a boil Add in the confectioners sugar while glaze is still hot to reduce clumping. Mix briskly or you'll have chunks Makes about 2 cups of glaze which is enough to cover 24 cupcakes if done right. If your glaze isn't smooth or has clumps of confectioners sugar, place it back on the burner at medium heat for just a few more minutes. Be sure to stir the the glaze the whole time.
• FOR GLAZED CHOCOLATE BROWNIE CUPCAKES: Once the brownies are done, remove from pan onto a plate and place into the freezer for quicker cooling. If your glaze has been done for a little while you should re-heat it so its warm. After about 10 minutes check your brownies (they should be cool now.) Now take your warm glaze and thoroughly drizzle each cupcake. Serve still drippy or wait about 15 minutes for glaze to harden up .For best results take a tablespoon or so of glaze and pour right on top. If its warm enough it should trickle along the sides of the cupcake, covering the whole thing. Add more if necessary.
