Around Christmas we always end up with a crate of winter pears that simply cannot be eaten no matter how hard we try. And of course longer as they stay, softer they become. The next step is putting them into some sort of cake.🙂
In this case, pear and chocolate cupcakes. They taste so soft and spongy, you should definitely try them. Pure chocolate cupcakes for me are a little bit hard on top if there are made with vegetable oil and milk. These cupcakes texture however, is soft both on the outside and inside.
Ingredients::
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup sunflower oil
- 1 cup yogurt
- 3 cups flour
- 1/2 package baking powder
- 1 vanilla powder
- 2 tbsp cocoa
- 2 pears
- 50 g chocolate of your choice (black or milky)
- whipping cream for decoration
Preparation:
Beat eggs with sugar with a mixer, until the mixture gets lighter in color. Pour gradually the oil, then yogurt, while still beating. If the vanilla is liquid, add it to this mixture.
Sift the flour in a separate bowl together with the baking powder and stir with the cocoa.
Mix the liquid and the dry ingredients and stir well. Grate the pears and the chocolate and add them carefully to the cake mixture.
Heat the oven to 180 degrees and prepare cupcake paper baskets. The ingredients here are enough for 24 cupcakes. Spread in the baskets and bake 20-22 minutes, depending on your oven.
After the cool down, decorate with the whipped cream and finish with come chocolate or sugar sprinkles. You can have them right away!
