Never thought I'd see the day tbh.Īdvice notes: It is helpful to lay out all of your ingredients and bowls before beginning-this does save some scrambling and anxiety that can be associated with more complex processes like this one.

The frosting was so silky-YET held its shape without being too firm/like solidified butter in texture when re-chilled. ![]() I didn't find the butter taste too strong at all (remember, though, to use a butter you actually like! I used european-style and I think that extra creaminess was good). What a fantastic frosting! I had tried making an italian meringue buttercream from another site once, and didn't like many things about how it came out. I used some flowers and berries covered in caster sugar as decoration. The icing held up well, structurally, tasted delicious and looked pretty too. I mixed a cup of the icing with some strawberry jam for between the layers. I probably used too much egg white due to jumbo eggs, but it was still silky and delicious. It didn’t pick up many crumbs like I was worried about (although I did chill the layers prior to frosting). Easier to apply than others I have tried in past. It’s a very forgiving and luxurious icing. I didn’t follow the icing recipe for that and used this one instead.

Increase speed to medium-high and beat until the bowl is cool to the touch, about 2 minutes. Turn off mixer, add powdered sugar, and mix on low speed until incorporated. Step 2įit bowl onto stand mixer fitted with whisk attachment and beat on medium-high speed until meringue is stiff, glossy, and dense, about 5 minutes. Heat, whisking constantly, until sugar is dissolved and an instant-read thermometer registers 115°, about 5 minutes.

Once the cupcakes have cooled, decorate ’em with your frosting - and serve. “Doubling the frosting recipe makes a little too much frosting,” Garten says, “but I’ve never found that to be a problem, have you?” For cupcakes, you’ll want to double Garten’s recipe, which starts by melting the semisweet chocolate, followed by blending it with butter, egg yolk, vanilla, sugar and coffee. The second element that really makes these cupcakes shine is the chocolate buttercream frosting. ![]() Let the cupcakes cool in the pan for about 30 minutes.
