Steps:
- For the cupcakes: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a standard cupcake or muffin pan with 24 standard cupcake liners.
- Sift the sugar, flour, baking soda and salt into the bowl of an electric stand mixer with a whisk attachment. In a separate bowl, combine the oil, soft butter, sour cream, vanilla and eggs and whisk until combined. Add the wet mixture in three additions to the dry mixture on medium speed, scraping after each addition. In another separate bowl, whisk the cocoa and 2 1/2 cups hot water until the cocoa is fully dissolved. Add to the cake batter and whisk until the mixture is fully incorporated.
- Fill the liners three-quarters full (2 ounces) with batter and bake until golden brown and baked through, 15 to 20 minutes. Cool the cupcakes completely.
- For the nut crunch: In a medium bowl, combine the melted milk chocolate with the feuilletine, praline paste, macadamia nuts and salt. Stir to combine.
- To assemble: Cut a small hole in the middle of each chocolate cupcake and fill with the milk chocolate mac nut crunch. Pipe the Vanilla Bean Frosting on the cupcakes with a plain tip. Add a broken piece of the Caramel Almond Paper and sprinkle with the chopped macadamia nuts, if using.
- Temper the dark chocolate and dip the whole macadamia nuts in it.
- Temper the white chocolate and pipe a small amount onto parchment, using a spatula to spread and form into half clamshell shapes. Stick two halves into the frosting to open up like a clam, and then place a chocolate covered mac nut in the center.
- This recipe was created by a contestant during a cooking competition. The Food Network Kitchens have not tested it for home use, therefore, we cannot make any representation as to the results.
- In medium saucepot, bring the milk and vanilla beans to a boil. Using a whisk, continuously stir in the flour until the mixture becomes thick and the flour is cooked out. Spread the hot milk mixture onto a sheet pan and top with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate until fully cooled, about 20 minutes.
- In the bowl of an electric stand mixer with a paddle attachment, cream the butter and vanilla for 5 minutes. Add the sugar and cream for an additional 5 minutes. Slowly add the cooled milk mixture and cream for 3 minutes until the frosting becomes white, light and fluffy. Put the frosting into a pastry bag fitted with a medium star tip.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a medium saucepot, heat up the sugar, stirring continuously until caramelized and golden amber in color. Add in the almonds and stir until completely coated. Pour into a thin layer onto a silicone baking mat and let cool completely.
- In a food processor, add the cooled caramel nut mix and grind into a fine powder. Using a sifter, lightly sprinkle into a thin layer on a silicone baking mat. Bake in the oven until golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool completely before breaking into pieces and using.
MATINEE IDOL CUPCAKES
Steps:
- For the cupcakes: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line two 2 dozen mini-cupcake pans with paper liners and spray with oil spray. Sift the flours, baking powder, baking soda and salt into a bowl and set aside. In the bowl of an upright mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and shortening on medium speed, about 3 minutes. Add the sugar and vanilla and beat on medium until fluffy, 3 minutes. Scrape down the bowl and add the whole egg and egg whites, and beat until incorporated. Turn the mixer to low. Add the flour mixture, alternating with the water, in three additions, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Scrape down the bowl, then mix on low. Using a small ice cream scoop, fill the prepared pans three-quarters of the way full with batter and bake until baked through, about 9 minutes. Cool the cupcakes completely. Set aside for assembly.
- For the buttercream: To melt the chocolate, place it in a double boiler over simmering water on low heat for 5 to 10 minutes. Stir occasionally until completely smooth and no pieces of chocolate remain. Remove from the heat and let cool until lukewarm, 5 to 15 minutes.
- In a medium heavy-bottomed pot, whisk the sugar and flour together. Add the half-and-half and milk and cook over medium heat, whisking occasionally, until the mixture comes to a boil and has thickened, about 20 minutes. Transfer the mixture to the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat on high speed until cool. Reduce the speed to low and add the butter; mix until thoroughly incorporated. Increase the speed to medium-high and beat until the frosting is light and fluffy. Add the vanilla and white chocolate and continue mixing until combined. If the frosting is too soft, put the bowl in the refrigerator to chill slightly, and then beat until it is the proper consistency. If the frosting is too firm, set the bowl over a pot of simmering water and beat with a wooden spoon until it is the proper consistency.
- For the meringue: Place the sugar, cream soda, corn syrup, salt and egg whites in the top of a double boiler. Beat with a handheld electric mixer for 1 minute. Place the pan over boiling water, being sure that the boiling water does not touch the bottom of the top pan. (If this happens, it could cause your frosting to become grainy.) Beat constantly on high speed with electric mixer for 7 minutes. Beat in the vanilla.
- For the popcorn: Heat the oil in a 3-quart saucepan on medium-high heat. Put 3 popcorn kernels into the oil and cover the pan. When the kernels pop, add the rest of the popcorn kernels in an even layer. Cover, remove from the heat and count 30 seconds. Return the pan to the heat. The popcorn should begin popping soon, and all at once. Once the popping starts in earnest, gently shake the pan by moving it back and forth over the burner. Try to keep the lid slightly ajar to let the steam from the popcorn release (the popcorn will be drier and crisper). Once the popping slows to several seconds between pops, remove the pan from the heat, remove the lid and dump the popcorn immediately into a wide bowl. If you are adding butter, you can easily melt the butter in the microwave for 30 seconds. Then, toss the popcorn in the butter and add salt to taste.
- For the idol envelopes: With the edible ink marker, print on the white fondant paper the words "the winner is" in 1-inch squares. With scissors, cut out the squares and reserve to the side for assembly. Measure the red fondant with a ruler into 1-inch squares; trace and cut. With the marker, draw a triangle from the top left corner to the center to the top right corner to give the appearance of a fold in an envelope. With a moist paper towel, wet the back of the red square without the marked fold. Then stick the white square to the red square with the writing facing out.
- To assemble: Fill each cupcake with the buttercream. Generously frost the top of each cupcake with Swiss meringue. Adorn with freshly popped popcorn and an idol envelope.
DAISY CUPCAKES
Steps:
- Using kitchen shears, snip off a thin strip from the side of a marshmallow to make a petal. Work your way around the marshmallow to snip off more petals. Repeat with 23 more marshmallows. (You'll need 10 to 12 petals per cupcake.)
- Snip a thin round from the top and bottom of the remaining 6 marshmallows. Press the 12 rounds cut-side down in the yellow nonpareils to coat.
- Arrange the marshmallow petals on the cupcakes, then place a nonpareil-covered marshmallow in the center of each.
