MUDSLIDE CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 Degrees F. Line 26 standard muffin tins with paper liners.
• In a large mixing bowl combine all dry ingredients.
• Using a whisk mix until all dry ingredients are well combined.
• Create a gully in the center of dry ingredients and add remaining ingredients except eggs. Whisk together. Add eggs and whisk by hand for 2-3 minutes. Once incorporated mix for another 3 minutes with electric hand mixer on high speed periodically scraping sides of bowl.
• Using a 1/4 C measuring cup scoop batter and pour one 1/4 cup full in each paper liner. (Careful not to drip excess on your pan.) Bake for 18 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. Remove from oven and cool to room temperature.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter until fluffy and light in color. Add the confectioner sugar and beat on low until incorporated.
• Add the cocoa powder, Kahula and coffee. Mix on high for 2 minutes. Scrape sides of bowl and mix for an additional minute.Set aside.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment cream the butter for 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy.Add confectioner sugar and mix until smooth.
• Add the vanilla extract and Bailey's Irish Cream and mix until combined.
• There are a few ways to do this.
• I just carefully added a little bit of each frosting in one pastry bag on separate sides.
• Another technique would be to use 3 disposable bags.
• Fill one with Bailey's buttercream, one with Kahula buttercream and then place both bags into the third bag fitted with tip.
• Pipe frosting on cupcakes and top with chocolate curls.

MUDSLIDE CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line cupcake pans with paper liners.
• Whisk together the flour, cocoa, and baking soda in a medium bowl. Combine the coffee and Kahlua in a liquid measuring cup.
• Add the egg whites to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Beat on medium-low speed until foamy. With the mixer still running, gradually add the granulated sugar. Once incorporated, increase the mixer to medium-high speed and continue beating until stiff peaks form. The egg whites should be glossy, not dry.
• Transfer the egg whites to another bowl and clean our the mixer bowl (or use a second bowl, or use a hand-held electric mixer). With the paddle attachment, cream the butter and brown sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy. Add the egg yolks, one at a time. With the mixer on low speed, alternatively add the flour and the coffee-Kahlua mixture, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Use a rubber spatula to fold in egg whites.
• Divide batter evenly between cupcake pans, filling each about 2/3 - 3/4 full. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the cupcakes spring back when lightly pressed and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Transfer the pan to a wire rack and let the cupcakes cool for 5 minutes then remove to rack to cool completely.
• Beat the butter and powdered sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Add the cocoa powder, Kahlua, and coffee and beat to incorporate. Once the frosting comes together, increase speed to medium-high and beat until smooth and fluffy. Spread or pipe with a decorative tip onto cooled cupcakes.

MUDSLIDE CUPCAKE

Steps:

• 1. For the cupcakes: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees, and prepare your cupcake pan with your desired liners.
• 2. In the bowl of your standing mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat the egg whites until foamy.
• 3. Add the granulated sugar to the eggs with the mixer running and continue to whisk, at medium-high speed, until the mixture is thick, stiff, and glossy. Transfer the egg white mixture to another bowl, and clean out your standing mixer bowl thoroughly.
• 4. In your clean mixer bowl, combine the butter and brown sugar and mix on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 1 minute.
• 5. Add the egg yolks, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
• 6. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, cocoa, and baking soda.
• 7. With the mixer speed on low, slowly add the flour mixture, coffee, and Kahlua alternately, ending with the flour mixture.
• 8. Stop the mixer, and gently fold in the egg whites into the batter using a rubber spatula, until well-combined.
• 9. Fill each prepared cupcake liner about two-thirds full.
• 10. Bake the cupcakes for about 20-25 minutes, depending on your oven, or until a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool completely.

SPIKED MUDSLIDE CAKE

Steps:

• For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter the bottoms and sides of two 9-inch round cake pans; dust with flour, and tap out the excess.
• Whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl; set aside.
• Beat the butter and sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, making sure the batter is well mixed before adding the next egg. Beat in the vanilla until blended.
• Alternate folding the flour mixture and the milk into the butter mixture with a spatula, adding the flour in three additions and the milk in two, starting and ending with the flour, until just smooth. (The batter may look slightly curdled as you mix it, but this is not a problem.) Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans.
• Bake until the cakes are golden and the centers spring back to the touch, 35 to 40 minutes. Let cool in the pans about 10 minutes, turn out onto cooling racks and let cool completely. Turn the cakes over, and poke the tops all over with the tines of a fork. Generously brush the tops with the liqueur, letting it soak in before brushing on more.
• For the frosting: While the cakes cool, bring a few inches of water to a simmer in a medium saucepan. Set a large heatproof bowl over it (do not let the bowl touch the water), add the egg whites and sugar and whisk until the mixture is warm and the sugar has dissolved, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the bowl from the pan, and beat the mixture with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until stiff, glossy peaks form, 4 to 7 minutes. Beat in the butter a few pieces at a time, and continue beating until the frosting is smooth, 1 to 2 minutes. (Don't worry if the mixture becomes soupy or looks separated; keep beating and it will come together.) Stir the Kahlua and instant coffee together until dissolved, and beat into the frosting with the mixer running on low speed. Increase the speed to medium-high, and beat until fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes.
• To assemble: Place 1 cake layer right-side up on a cake plate or stand, and spread with 1 cup of the frosting. Top with the second cake layer. Frost the top and sides of the cake with the remaining frosting.

MUDSLIDE

Steps:

• Put two small tumblers in the fridge to chill overnight. Put 30g of the chocolate in a shallow bowl and melt in the microwave in short bursts. Dip the rim of the chilled glasses in the melted chocolate, then stand them upright so it gradually drips down the sides. Return to the fridge until you're ready to serve.
• Fill a cocktail shaker with ice, then pour in the coffee-flavoured liqueur, vodka, Irish cream liqueur and double cream. Shake until the outside of the shaker is very cold.
• Put a few ice cubes in the prepared glasses, then strain in the cocktail. Finely grate over the remaining chocolate and serve with a paper straw.
