Spicy Chocolate Chipotle Cupcakes Recipe

Today’s Creation: Spicy Chocolate Chipotle Cupcakes

As the weather starts to cool down and the leaves change color, I find myself craving warm, comforting flavors with a hint of spice. That’s why today, I’m excited to share my recipe for Spicy Chocolate Chipotle Cupcakes. These little treats are the perfect balance of rich chocolate, fiery chipotle, and sweet frosting.

To make these cupcakes, you’ll need the following ingredients:

• 100g butter
• 150g sugar
• 2 eggs
• 150g flour
• 30g cocoa powder
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 120ml milk
• 1 tsp chipotle powder
• 100g chocolate chips
• 100g cream cheese (for frosting)
• 50g powdered sugar (for frosting)

For this recipe, you’ll need the following kitchen tools:

• mixing bowl
• whisk
• cupcake tin
• piping bag

Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (180°C) and lining a cupcake tin with paper liners. In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

Sift in the flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder, and mix until just combined. Stir in the milk, chipotle powder, and chocolate chips until evenly distributed through the batter. Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the centers comes out clean.

While the cupcakes are cooling, prepare the frosting by beating together the cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. Once the cupcakes are completely cool, pipe or spread the frosting on top of each cupcake.

The total weight of the cooked dish is approximately 1080g, with 12 servings. Each serving weighs around 90g, and they clock in at approximately 250 calories per cupcake.

A unique tip for these cupcakes is to sprinkle a little extra chipotle powder on top of the frosting for an added kick of heat.

I hope you give these Spicy Chocolate Chipotle Cupcakes a try and enjoy the surprising flavor combination. Feel free to get creative and make them your own by adjusting the level of spice to suit your taste. Happy baking!
