    Hello out there and welcome to my little baking blog. This will be my first post. Yay! It took quite a while for me to decide which recipe to start with – at the end it was pretty easy because this was the only one, I had some (more or less) good pictures to use ;)

    Classic Tiramisù Cupcakes | Bake to the roots

    I could tell you now the story, why I wanted to start this blog, the idea behind the name “bake to the roots” and all, but you can find that information in the section “About” – here is the place for recipes and not for chitchat :P

    Tiramisù Cupcakes. It’s a great variation of a classic Italian dessert. OK – normally I would use ladyfingers for a Tiramisù, but the cupcake sponge soaked in coffee and liquor is just as good and tasty. Together with the mascarpone cream – just perfect.

    So I hope you like my little collection of recipes and enjoy baking. Feel free to tell me what you think about the recipes. Cheers!

    DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG

    • English
    • Deutsch

    1. Preheat the oven to 325˚F (160°C). Line two cupcake pans* with paper liners. Add milk to a small saucepan. Scrape the seeds out of the vanilla bean pod and add the seeds and the scraped pod to the saucepan as well. Heat up over medium heat just until bubbles appear around the edge of the saucepan. Remove from the heat, add the butter and mix until melted. Let sit for about 15 minutes. Remove the vanilla bean pod and discard (or rinse and save for another use). Sift the flour and combine with baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Set aside.

    2. In a large heatproof bowl, combine the eggs, egg yolks, and the sugar. Whisk lightly to blend. Set the bowl on a pot with an inch or two of simmering water and heat up the mixture, whisking occasionally, until everything is warm, and the sugar has dissolved completely – takes about 5-6 minutes. Remove the bowl from the pot and whisk on high speed until the mixture is light and fluffy.

    3. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the egg mixture in two or three batches. Stir about 3/4 cup of the batter into the milk to thicken it, then fold the milk mixture into the batter. Divide the batter between the prepared liners, filling them about 3/4 full. Bake the cupcakes for about 18-20 minutes, or until the cupcakes are golden. I recommend baking all cupcakes at once. The air inside the batter will disappear if you let it stand too long. Let the cupcakes cool down inside the pans for a moment, then remove and let cool down on a wire rack.

    4. For the soaking sauce, combine the hot espresso, Kahlúa (or Amaretto) and sugar and stir until the sugar has dissolved completely. Place a baking sheet or some paper underneath the cupcakes to catch dripping liquid, then brush the soaking sauce onto the (still a bit warm) cupcakes. Repeat several times until all the sauce is used up. If you are having problems with the cupcakes absorbing the liquid, you can poke them several times with a toothpick – that will help. Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting.

    5. For the frosting, add the heavy cream to a bowl and mix until stiff peaks form. In a second bowl, combine the mascarpone and confectioners’ sugar and mix until smooth and fluffy – takes about 2 minutes. Fold about a third of the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture with a spatula, then gently fold in the remaining whipped cream until evenly incorporated.

    6. Transfer the frosting to a pastry bag fitted with a plain round (not too big) tip. Pipe small drops of frosting on top of each cupcake for the typical Tiramisu look. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Before serving, dust the cupcakes with unsweetened cocoa powder.

    1. Den Ofen auf 160°C (325˚F) Ober-/Unterhitze vorheizen. Zwei Cupcakebleche* mit Papierförmchen vorbereiten. Die Milch in einen kleinen Topf geben, die Vanilleschote längs aufschneiden, den Inhalt herauskratzen und beides zur Milch geben und bei mittlerer Hitzezufuhr erwärmen. Sobald Bläschen am Rand des Topfes aufsteigen, vom Herd ziehen, die Butter zugeben und verrühren, bis sie geschmolzen ist. Alles zur Seite stellen und nach etwa 15 Minuten die Vanilleschote entfernen (ggf. abwaschen und für einen anderen Zweck verwenden). Das Mehl mit dem Backpulver mischen und sieben, Salz zugeben und zur Seite stellen.

    2. Die Eier und das Eigelb mit dem Zucker in einer großen (hitzebeständigen) Schüssel verrühren. Die Schüssel auf einen Topf mit köchelndem Wasser stellen (sollte das Wasser nicht berühren) und dann so lange rühren, bis die Mischung warm ist und sich der Zucker aufgelöst hat – dauert etwa 5-6 Minuten. Die Schüssel vom Herd nehmen und die Mischung dann mit einem Handmixer oder in der Küchenmaschine auf höchster Stufe zu einer hellen, luftigen Masse aufschlagen.

    3. Die Mehlmischung in mehreren Portionen zur Schüssel dazugeben und vorsichtig unterheben. Einige Esslöffel der Masse in die Vanillemilch geben und verrühren – diese Mischung dann zum restlichen Teig geben und unterrühren. Die Papierförmchen zu etwa 2/3 mit dem Teig befüllen und dann für etwa 18-20 Minuten backen, bis die Cupcakes leicht gebräunt sind. Die Küchlein sollten möglichst alle gleichzeitig gebacken werden, da die Luft aus dem Teig entweicht, wenn er zu lange steht. Die Cupcakes aus dem Ofen nehmen und kurz in der Form abkühlen lassen, dann herausnehmen und auf einem Kuchengitter abkühlen lassen.

    4. Für die Tränke der Cupcakes einfach heißen Espresso, Alkohol und Zucker verrühren, bis sich der Zucker komplett aufgelöst hat. Die noch leicht warmen Cupcakes auf dem Kuchengitter aufreihen (Backblech oder Backpapier unterlegen, um Flüssigkeit aufzufangen) und dann die Tränke mit einem Pinsel auf den Cupcakes verstreichen (etwa 4-5 Durchgänge), bis alles aufgebraucht ist. Sollte die Flüssigkeit nicht richtig einziehen, kann man mit einem Zahnstocher nachhelfen und kleine Löcher in die Oberfläche piksen. Die Cupcakes vollkommen auskühlen lassen vor dem Verzieren.

    5. Für das Frosting die Sahne in einer Schüssel steifschlagen. In einer zweiten Schüssel den Mascarpone mit dem Puderzucker etwa 2 Minuten aufschlagen, dann etwa 1/3 der aufgeschlagenen Sahne vorsichtig unterheben. Rest der Sahne zugeben und ebenfalls vorsichtig unterheben, bis alles gut vermischt ist.

    6. Die Creme in einen Spritzbeutel mit großer runder Tülle einfüllen und dann als Tupfen auf die Cupcakes aufspritzen. Bis zum Servieren im Kühlschrank aufbewahren und erst kurz vor dem Servieren mit Kakao bestäuben.
