Here’s the recipe for Chocolate And Vanilla Cupcakes.

Ingredients:

•    ¾ cup powdered sugar 

•    ½ cup butter 

•    1 cup curd 

•    1½ cup besan 

•    1¼ tsp baking powder 

•    1 tsp baking soda 

•    A pinch of cardamom powder 

•    1 tsp vanilla essence 

For the chocolate ganache: 

•    2 cups of whipped cream 

•    1½ cup dark chocolate 

For buttercream:

•    ½ cup butter 

•    ¼ cup powdered sugar 

•    1 tbsp whipped cream 

•    ½ tsp vanilla essence

Method:

•    In a mixing dish, combine the butter and sugar and whisk until frothy and creamy white.

•    Then, while whisking, gradually add in the curd, and combine all three ingredients.

•    Avoid over-whisking the curd.

•    You can also add vanilla essence to the batter at this time.

•    In a separate bowl, combine the besan, cardamom powder, baking soda, and baking powder.

•    Besan is to be sieved to ensure that the gram flour is completely lump-free.

•    Once everything is blended, add the dry mixture in small batches to the wet mixture.

•    The dry components should be combined with the wet using a spatula.

•    Grease the baking trays and fill each with around 100 grams of batter.

•    Bake for 20 to 22 minutes at 180 C in a preheated oven.

•    After the besan cake has finished cooking, remove it from the oven, let it cool for two to three minutes.

•    Then invert the cake pans onto a cooling rack and shake or tap them to release the cake.

•    Chocolate should be melted over a double boiler.

•    After the chocolate has melted, let it cool for a short while, then whisk with some whipped cream.

•    After that, add the remaining whipped cream in two batches, folding each batch into the chocolate to fully incorporate it.

•    Transfer to a piping bag, allow to cool, and then chill once more to achieve a pipe-able consistency.

•    Add the soft butter and powdered sugar to a bowl.

•    They should be whisked until the butter puffs up and turns light and pale in colour. 

•    Add the cream and vanilla extract and whisk again to combine. 

•    Butter cream should be placed in a piping bag and refrigerated for at least 30 minutes before usage.
