Filled cupcakes: delicious and simple recipes

Cupcakes with chocolate filling

Chocolate is a classic filling for most cupcakes. It is worth noting that when buying chocolate for dessert, you should opt for natural dark chocolate without preservatives or additives, the first ingredient in which is not sugar, but cocoa powder. Then your filled cupcakes will turn out truly tender and without unnecessary aftertaste.

Ingredients:

• butter – 400 g;
• cottage cheese – 450 g;
• sugar – 200 g;
• flour – 2 tbsp;
• chocolate – 100 g;
• eggs – 6 pcs.;
• vanilla sugar - to taste;
• baking powder - 2 tsp.

Preparation:

1. Melt the butter. This can be done in a water bath or in the microwave by placing a plate of oil in it for 1 minute at standard power.
2. Meanwhile, in a separate bowl, mix eggs with sugar. Add a couple tablespoons of vanilla if desired. Beat the resulting mixture with a mixer or whisk until foamy.
3. Add flour there in parts, having previously sifted it. The last step in making the dough is to add the baking powder. It can be replaced with slaked soda, but you must add one of these ingredients to make the dough fluffy.
4. Grease baking pans with butter or vegetable oil. If you have silicone or paper molds, you can omit this step. Distribute half of the dough evenly among all the cells.
5. Break the dark chocolate bar into cubes. Place 1-3 chocolate cubes into each mold with dough, depending on their size. Lay out the remaining dough. Tap the bottom of the pans on the counter so that the batter is evenly distributed and the cupcakes are even on top.
6. Place the muffins in the oven preheated to 180 degrees for 25 minutes. Cool and top with whipped cream and sprinkles if desired.

Cupcakes with boiled condensed milk

Another great dessert option is filled cupcakes with condensed milk inside. Everyone will love this tea party surprise. Another advantage of this recipe is that you don’t need to measure exact proportions to prepare the dough. Even if you make a mistake with the proportions by a few tens of grams, you will still get very tasty muffins.

Ingredients:

• chicken eggs – 4 pcs.;
• flour – 250 g;
• granulated sugar – 200 g;
• butter – 200 g;
• baking powder – 1 tsp;
• condensed milk – 150 g.

Preparation:

1. When preparing muffins filled with condensed milk, you should start with the dough. Break the eggs into a deep bowl and add sugar there. Beat the sugar and eggs until the sugar is completely dissolved. Check that grains of granulated sugar do not settle on the bottom of the plate.
2. Butter is used. If you are mixing the ingredients by hand, melt the butter to make the process easier. If you use a mixer, you can easily handle hard butter. In a separate bowl, mix the flour with baking powder, sift them through a sieve and only then add to the rest of the ingredients. Mix everything thoroughly.
3. You should have a thick, viscous dough. As stated above, ingredients do not need to be measured precisely. After all, even if you end up with a dough that is more liquid than necessary, you will just need to add a couple of tablespoons of flour.
4. Now you need to prepare the molds. The best option would be silicone molds, since getting the finished cupcakes out of them will not be difficult. Place half of the creamy mixture in the molds, and after placing 1-2 teaspoons of condensed milk in the middle, add the rest. There is no need to level the products before baking, since they will spread in the oven and take the required shape themselves.
5. Last step. Place the dessert in the oven, set the time (25 minutes) and set the required temperature (180 degrees). To check the readiness of the baked goods, you can use a toothpick: pierce the product with it and, after pulling it out, see if there are any crumbs left on the toothpick. If the toothpick is clean, the dessert is ready.

Muffins with meat, mushrooms and mozzarella

A cupcake with meat, mushrooms and cheese is no less tasty. This time we suggest using chicken meat. Based on the list of proposed products, 12-13 meat muffins are obtained. Cooking takes 45 minutes. Ingredients:

• chicken fillet weighing 500 grams;
• mozzarella cheese 250 grams;
• cherry tomatoes;
• 2 medium onions;
• any mushrooms 500 grams;
• oil for frying the filling;
• garlic to taste;
• a tablespoon of sour cream;
• salt and spices.

Recipe for meat muffins with mushrooms and cheese:

1. Making a meat muffin is quite simple. First, prepare the filling: wash the mushrooms and cut into small cubes, also peel and finely chop the onion. Fry onions and mushrooms in oil, add salt and season. When the mushrooms are fried, turn off the heat, squeeze in a couple of cloves of garlic, add sour cream, mix everything well and leave for a while, covered with a lid.
2. Next, let's take care of the chicken fillet. The meat should be without skin, it will be more convenient. We rinse the meat under water, let the liquid drain for a few minutes and cut it into schnitzel thickness. About 4-5 pieces come out of one half of a medium-sized sternum. Then they need to be beaten like chops. We recommend covering them with cling film while beating - this will prevent splashes from flying around. The result should be thin chops. Salt and pepper them to taste.
3. Grease the muffin tin with a little oil and place our chops to form a “cup”. Place the mushroom filling inside, place a tomato in the middle of the muffin and cover with a slice of mozzarella cheese.
4. The preparation process is almost over. All that remains is to preheat the oven, put the muffins with meat inside and cook at 180 degrees for 25 minutes. The filling is already ready, and the chicken cooks quickly, so you don’t have to keep it longer.

Muffins can be served with any side dish.

Strawberry cupcakes

Cupcakes with filling, which are described below, occupy a leading position in coffee shops and bakeries. This dessert will be especially tasty if you use fresh rather than frozen berries.

Ingredients:

• flour – 450 g;
• eggs – 4 pcs.;
• granulated sugar – 200 g;
• milk – 250 g;
• butter – 150 g;
• strawberries – 500 g;
• baking powder – 50 g;
• vanilla sugar – 50 g;
• lemon zest - to taste;
• salt.

Preparation:

1. According to the recipe for cupcakes with filling, you first need to mix all the dry ingredients, then the liquid ones in a separate bowl. This is done to ensure uniformity of the mass. So, mix vanilla sugar, crystal sugar and flour. Add 2 packets of baking powder. If you come across very sweet strawberries or you just want to make a dessert less calorie, reduce the dose of sugar.
2. Now the liquid ingredients: eggs, milk and butter. For ease of mixing, melt the last ingredient in a water bath. When the mixtures of liquid and dry products are ready, combine them in one deep plate. Mix everything thoroughly.
3. Prepare the baking tins. If the appearance of the dessert is important to you, place paper molds on top of silicone or other baking molds. Fill them with the prepared dough. The amount of dough in each mold depends on what kind of muffins you want: if you want them to be flat, fill the cells halfway, and if you hope to get a heaped dessert, fill them 2/3 full.
4. Wash and cut the strawberries into several slices. Place them in filled forms and, if desired, “drown” them a little. It is not necessary to do this, since during the baking process the muffins will rise on their own and push the strawberry slices inside. If desired, top the muffins with lemon zest.
5. How to make cupcakes with filling inside perfectly baked? Change the temperature: for the first 10 minutes the muffins are cooked at a temperature of 210 degrees, for the remaining 20 minutes - 180 degrees.
