This gooey cupcake oozes chocolate goodness. These are not your regular cupcakes—they will look like a little chocolate bowl with a crater in the middle—perfect for rich fillings! Serve warm, filled with a big dollop of Whipped Cream Frosting (page 93), and eat them with a spoon.

Buttermilk makes the chocolate cupcakes moist and fluffy, and using oil instead of butter means they keep well.

So simple, yet so perfect. These cupcakes are topped with a chocolate buttercream frosting made with no butter, no cream—but it’s rich, chocolaty, and creamy nonetheless! This frosting will frost 12 cupcakes if you’re piping it, more if you’re just spreading the frosting. If you have leftover frosting, it will keep for weeks tightly covered in the fridge. Just let it come to room temperature and whip it up again. For added panache, dress these cupcakes up with sprinkles for kids’ birthday parties, or top them with Rice Milk Chocolate Ganache (page 104).

Cupcakes are kid stuff, right? That’s why we chose to use chocolates on the sweet end of the spectrum. If you’re baking for a more mature crowd, sub bittersweet or semisweet instead. This recipe goes well with our Devil's Food cupcakes. Or, head this way for classic cream cheese frosting.

A swoosh of buttercream is all you need to finish off this easy vanilla cupcake recipe.

This recipe is extremely versatile. We love to use it for cupcakes, but it makes an equally impressive layer or sheet cake; either is a perfect choice for kids’ birthday parties, swirled with Swiss Meringue Buttercream. For a more grown-up flavor, try icing the cupcakes with Mocha Buttercream (page 213).

This flourless chocolate cake is rich and densely chocolaty. It’s just the kind of low-effort, high-reward recipe we love.

This Rocky Road Cupcake has a surprising marshmallow center that provides a yin-and-yang contrast to the dense chocolate icing. For a more daring, sweet-and-salty version, try using chopped Smokehouse almonds instead of the traditional toasted ones, or top the cupcakes with chopped salted peanuts. Once you’re comfortable with the technique of filling a cupcake, you can use other fillings, such as chocolate mousse, Nutella, fruit curd, or a favorite custard, to create other flavors.

This cupcake with white chocolate chips and chunks of cherry is superb with White Chocolate Frosting (page 94). Top the cupcakes with a cherry for a special finishing touch. For a holiday version, substitute frozen cranberries for the cherries in the batter.
Deep dark chocolate and lush ripe plums make a sweet match in this decadent late summer dessert.

Ginger's peppery flavor is the perfect foil for white chocolate. Here, the ginger is used in several forms, each contributing its own nuance: Crystallized ginger provides texture and a warm bite to the filling, gingersnaps are used for the crust, and ground ginger enhances both crust and filling. Begin making this dessert a day ahead.

Bake this at least a day before serving.

This icing is so rich and delicious that it is popular with our customers even as a “frosting shot”—straight icing eaten with a spoon. Try piping about 2 ounces into shot glasses or espresso cups and serving them (accompanied by demitasse spoons) as an unexpected cocktail party dessert. Or pull out a bowl of the icing on movie night and offer cookies and strawberries for dipping. Just as sour cream is much softer than butter, this icing is very soft, so it’s important to be flexible about the amount of sour cream you add; the amount will depend on the heat and humidity where and when you’re making it. You’ll add it 1/3 cup at a time at the end of the recipe, so stop adding it if the icing gets to the consistency of warm peanut butter. While not essential, for best results keep cakes and cupcakes iced with Chocolate Icing refrigerated until about 30 minutes before serving them. For a more exotic twist, 2 tablespoons of chili powder can add a smokey heat to the icing. Try that atop Devil’s Food Cake (page 98) cupcakes for a Cinco de Mayo party or other fiesta.

If you're not familiar with soufflé cakes, this dessert may look a little odd — but it's delicious. The cake is designed to be eaten once it has collapsed and cooled (just the opposite of a regular soufflé).

When preparing the chocolate, dont chop it. Cut it straight down to get small, irregular pieces.
