Have A Heart Cupcakes Recipes

Steps:

• Bake mini chocolate cupcakes in foil liners, then microwave store-bought frosting (milk and dark chocolate flavors) until runny and spoon the frosting on top of the cupcakes. (Place whole almonds on a few before you frost so they'll look like classic boxed chocolates.) Drizzle melted white or dark chocolate on top. Fill a heart-shaped box with the cupcakes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line standard muffin tins with paper liners. Coat an 8-inch square cake pan with cooking spray, line bottom with parchment, then spray parchment.
• Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Place butter and chocolate in a heatproof mixer bowl set over a pot of simmering water, stirring until chocolate melts.
• Attach bowl to mixer, add sugar, and whisk on medium-high speed until smooth, about 3 minutes. Beat in eggs, 1 at a time, then vanilla. Reduce speed to low, and add flour mixture.
• Divide batter among muffin cups, filling each 2/3 full. Spread remaining batter in square pan. Bake until set but still soft, about 18 minutes. Let cool in tins and pan on wire racks.
• Frost cupcakes with buttercream. Cut out 24 hearts from brownie in pan using a 1 1/2-inch heart-shaped cutter. Top each cupcake with a heart.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Line 2 mini muffin tins with muffin liners (red ones will looks pretty).
• In a bowl mix together the flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt.
• In a small bowl mix together the buttermilk and the food coloring.
• In a large bowl and using an electric mixer mix together the sugar, applesauce and canola oil. Add the egg and egg white -- beat one minute on medium speed.
• On low speed alternately add the flour mixture and the buttermilk mixture, beginning and ending with the flour mixture, beating until blending before adding additions.
• In a cup mix together the baking soda and vinegar and let stand until fizzy and then with a rubber spatula fold mixture into the batter.
• Spoon batter among muffin cups.
• Bake for 13-15 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.
• Cool in pans on racks for 5 minutes and then remove from pan and let cool completely.
• Serve sprinkled with the confectioners sugar -- but for a special Valentine touch -- cut one inch paper heart and place heart on cupcake before sprinkling with the confectioners sugar; remove paper heart from cupcake and serve to your special Valentines!
