INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat the oven to 160 ° C hot top/bottom and line a 12-sheet muffin tray with a paper box.
- Mix butter with sugar and vanilla sugar for about 1 minute. Add eggs and stir for 1-2 minutes.
- Add flour, chocolate, salt, and baking powder together with half milk into a bowl and stir briefly. Finally, stir the remaining milk until you have a smooth mixture.
- Spread the dough evenly on the paper sheet and bake the cupcakes in the oven that has been heated for about 25 minutes.
- Remove the cupcake from the oven and remove it from the baking sheet after 2 minutes and place it on the rack to cool.
- Wash strawberries for buttercream, remove the stems and cut them in half. Then put it in a small saucepan and, with occasional stirring, boil for about 20-30 minutes over low heat until half the volume evaporates. Then, remove from the heat then let it cool to room temperature.
- Mix soft butter until very soft and creamy. Mix 250 g of powdered sugar and then 30 ml of milk. Add the remaining powdered sugar and mix the buttercream until creamy.
- Add the strawberry mixture that has cooled and stirred. If necessary, add 30 ml more milk if the buttercream seems too hard.
- Place the buttercream in a piping bag and sprinkle it on cupcakes.
- For the ganache, melt dark chocolate together with the butter in the microwave at 30-second intervals until both can be mixed into a smooth mass. Let it cool for a few minutes and then pour a teaspoon of ganache onto each cupcake so that it easily flows over the freezing.
- Wash 12 strawberries too and then place them as garnishes on the ganache that hasn't dried yet and press gently. Bon appetit!
