Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 6 large egg whites
  • 3/4 cup whole milk
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 2 vanilla beans, halved lengthwise, seeds scraped and reserved, beans discarded
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon coarse salt
  • 4 ounces bittersweet chocolate, cut into 12 2-inch chunks
  • 1 tablespoon confectioners’ sugar, for dusting

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners; set aside. Put butter and granulated sugar into the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment; mix on medium speed until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add egg whites, milk, vanilla extract, and vanilla seeds; mix until combined, scraping down sides of bowl as needed. Add flour, baking powder, and salt; mix until just combined.

Divide batter among muffin cups, filling each cup about 3/4 full. Insert a piece of chocolate into center of each, pressing about halfway into batter to cover. Bake until pale golden brown, about 24 minutes. Transfer tin to a wire rack; let cool slightly. Dust with confectioners’ sugar before serving. Cupcakes can be stored in airtight containers at room temperature up to 3 days.

                The recipe actually makes 18 cupcakes that are 3/4's full.  Add room temperature milk or the butter will harden into chunks.  Fill the muffin pan half way w/batter, then add the chocolate, then fill the rest of way.  These are great cupcakes for people that do not like super sweet desserts.  I substituted semi-sweet chocolate for bitter sweet and it did not melt.  It just sunk to the bottom of the cupcake and remained hard.

                Hmm... What to say about these cupcakes.  While they were delicious, they also weren't the type of cupcakes that knocked my socks off.  To me this cupcake is a version of pound cake with melted chocolate on it.  I used chocolate chips in the recipe instead of chunks and if you plan on using the chips I would add a decent amount more.  I also didn't have vanilla beans so I added an extra ounce of vanilla extract.  Easy to make.  I am sure kids would love them, but they are not for me.

                Easy to make.  I used a home-made nutella that I happen to have a lot of instead of chocolate ,and they were good.

                Is it okay to make these without the vanilla beans? Maybe add a little extra vanilla extract? I live in a place where the beans aren't readily available, plus they're SO expensive. Any tips on growing them?
