I have a secret that I’m about to blab. It’s about me. And it’s a doozie. It’s going to rock your world…

I don’t really like cake…

Shhh…

Can you believe it? It’s the truth. Hard to fathom, with all those cakes that I decorate. Now, don’t get me wrong. I will eat cake. But it pretty much ranks at the very, very bottom of the dessert hierarchy for me. Given options, I would choose pretty much anything over cake. Now, if you’re talking cheesecakes, flourless chocolate cakes, coffee cakes, crumb cakes, and things of that nature, well then that’s a whole different ballgame. But regular cake? Like birthday cake-cake? Meh. It’s just never really been my cup of tea. But what I do love is frosting. And phenomenal frosting can absolutely make my day. Peanut butter or cream cheese frosting? It may as well just be Christmas. As a result, I love cupcakes because I can pile them sky-high with dreamy frosting and enjoy each and every bite. These dark chocolate cupcakes are a dream come true for anyone who is a cake or frosting lover – they are truly the best of both worlds.


Dark Chocolate Cupcakes with Peanut Butter Frosting

These cupcakes are insanely rich and moist, and are made using the same type of method used for making brownies – melted chocolate is added to a whisked mixture of eggs and sugar, and then flour is stirred in. The resulting batter almost resembled a mousse; both thick and light. It creates incredibly moist cupcakes that also have a light and fluffy texture.

And the frosting. Oh the frosting. Bestill my heart. I have been using this recipe for a couple of years now (how has it never made it on here before?!), mostly as a filling for chocolate cakes. But on top of cupcakes? Where I purposefully try to create a 2:1 frosting to cupcake ratio? A-MAZING. I cannot make this without usually ending up with a stomach ache from nibbling out of the bowl one too many times. It’s irresistible. Sometimes I’m tempted to make it to just have. Smeared on toast? Used as a dipping vessel for bananas or apples? So many possibilities. The “secret ingredient” in this frosting, just as in the Easy Vanilla Bean Buttercream, is the heavy cream. It creates a smooth and fluffy frosting that is easy to slather or pipe on.

Note: To make the swirls of icing, I use a 1M icing tip. I just love the look that it gives the cupcakes; it reminds of a soft serve ice cream cone. Which is another one of my favorite things :)

Since I have embraced summer in January this week, inspired by the S’more Nut Bars, I thought I would follow up with these banana cupcakes. As I have mentioned pretty much every single time I make a cupcake recipe, I am a huge, huge, HUGE frosting fan. Adore frosting. Eat it by the spoonful when I make it (shhh!). Given my infatuation with it, I was immediately intrigued when I came across this recipe for cupcakes that did NOT have frosting on them. No frosting, but instead, pastry cream. Simply genius. Pure genius. I might love pastry cream just about as much as frosting.




This combination really is one of the freshest takes I’ve found on cupcakes in quite some time. The pastry cream is such a natural pairing with the banana flavor and it keeps the whole thing feeling light and not weighed down by frosting. Eating the cupcake is actually quite reminiscent of a banana cream pie. Only without the fuss of pie crust!

The book gives a few different options for topping these babies – piping the pastry cream with a decorating bag and tip, using an ice cream or cookie scoop to drop a dollop on top, or using a spatula to slather the cupcakes with the cream. Although I have pastry bags and tips, I really liked the idea of the scoop on top and that’s what I did. Feel free to be creative and decorate at will!
