Instructions

Cupcakes

  • Preheat oven to 350oF. Prepare baking pan and line with paper cups.
  • In the mixing bowl sift together flour, corn starch, baking powder and salt. Set aside. 
  • In a large mixing bowl, beat together sugar and butter until light and fluffy.
  • Beat in the eggs one at the time, making sure each one fully incorporated. 
  • Alternate adding the flour mixture and warm milk to the butter mixture. Scrape down the sides and mix again, making sure everything incorporated. 
  • Using ice cream spoon, fill paper lined cupcake pan.
  • Bake at 350oF for 15-20 minutes. Cupcakes are ready when the toothpick, inserted in the center of the cupcake, come out clean and dry. 
  • Transfer the cupcakes to a wire rack and leave them to cool down to room temperature.

Chocolate filling

  • Warm up heavy whipping cream and pour over milk chocolate. Wait 1-2 minutes and stir with the spatula. Mixture should be smooth and shiny.
  • Whip cold heavy cream to a soft peak and add to chocolate mixture. Stir with the spatula. Set aside. 

Mascarpone cream frosting

  • In the mixing bowl beat mascarpone cream and powdered sugar until all combine.
  • Add cold heavy cream and beat again. Do not beat for too long, cream should be smooth and light.
  • Transfer cream into pipping bag with Wilton 1M or Ateco 846.

How to assemble Tiramisu Cupcakes

  • Using knife of melon spoon, make a cavity in the center of each cupcake. I used special tool for that.
  • Fill each cavity of cupcakes with chocolate filling.
  • Pipe the mascarpone cream on top of each cupcake.
  • Dust each cupcake with cocoa powder. Put decorated cupcakes to the fridge for a few hours or overnight.
