Chocolate Cupcakes with a Hint of Chili – A Unique Flavor Combination

Chocolate cupcakes are a dessert that almost everyone loves. Their rich flavor and delicate texture make them perfect for any occasion. But what if we added a bit of spice to them? Chocolate cupcakes with a hint of chili are a true delight for the taste buds, combining the intensity of chocolate with a subtle, warming chili flavor.

To prepare these unique cupcakes, you'll need a few key ingredients.

List of ingredients:

200 g all-purpose flour

50 g cocoa powder

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

150 g sugar

2 eggs

120 ml milk

120 ml vegetable oil

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

100 g chopped dark chocolate

1/2 teaspoon chili powder (or to taste)

Preparation:

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.

In a large bowl, mix together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and sugar.

In a separate bowl, combine the eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla extract.

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until smooth.

Add the chili powder and chopped dark chocolate, gently mixing them in.

Fill the cupcake liners three-quarters full with the batter.

Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

After baking, let the cupcakes cool on a wire rack.

The Secret Lies in the Balance The chili in these cupcakes should not overpower the chocolate flavor but rather subtly enhance it. This way, each bite is full of depth and surprising contrast. If you’re worried that the cupcakes might be too spicy, start with a smaller amount of chili and gradually add more until you find the perfect balance for your taste.

Perfect for Any Occasion These cupcakes are perfect for various occasions – from family gatherings to birthday parties to romantic evenings for two. Their unique flavor will surely impress your guests and make them come back for more.
