- CUPCAKES
- Make the cupcakes:1. Position a rack in the center and preheat oven to 325 F. Lightly butter twenty-four 1-3/4" x 3/4" (1-ounce) muffin of biscuit c..
- Into a medium bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt. Fold in the sugar. Make a well in the center. Whisk in the water, oil, vinegar, and vanilla. Blend till smooth. (The batter will be very thin.)
- Spoon the batter into the prepared c.. Bake till a cake tester inserted into the center of one of the cupcakes comes out clean, about 12 to 14 min. Cold the cupcakes in the pans on a wire rack for 5 min. Remove the cupcakes from the pans and finish cooling on the rack.
- Make the filling:4. In a heavy medium saucepan over medium-high heat, bring the cream to a boil. Add in the white chocolate and remove from heat. let the mix stand briefly; stir till smooth. Transfer to a metal bowl and chill till chilled thoroughly, stirring occasionally. (To speed the process, set the metal bowl over a larger bowl of ice water; stir the chocolate mix till cold.) With an electric mixer, beat the whit chocolate mix just till fluffy, about 1 minute.
- Transfer the filling to a pastry bag fitted with a 3/8-inch plain tip. Insert the pastry tip 1/4-inch into the bottom of each cupcake and squeeze a little filling into each one.
- Make the glaze:6. Place the chocolate in a small bowl. Whisk in the boiling water and blend till smooth. One at a time, dip the top of each cupcake into the hot glaze. Turn the glazed cupcakes right side up and set them on a wire rack on top of a baking sheet. Chill the cupcakes for 5 min to set the glaze.
- Make the icing:7. In a medium bowl, whisk the egg white till frothy. Stir in the cream of tartar. Gradually fold in sufficient of the confectioner's sugar to make a fairly stiff and smooth icing. Fill a small paper cone with the icing and cut a 1/16-inch opening at the tip. Remove the cupcakes from the refrigerator. Pipe a design (a squiggle, spiral, etc.) on the top of each cupcake. Let the design harden and then cover and chill the cupcakes. Serve at room temperature.
- The cupcakes can be made and refrigerated up to 2 days in advance, or possibly frzn up to 2 weeks.
- Makes 22 to 24 miniature cupcakes.
