Valentine's day cupcakes

Valentine's day is around the corner and what's more romantic than cupcakes!? I have chosen to do "rose piping" with pink buttercream frosting on my cupcakes, but you can of course pipe the frosting any way you want. * Happy Valentine's day! ♥

Makes 12 cupcakes Ingredients: Chocolate cupcakes • 2 eggs • 200 grams caster sugar • 130 grams all-purpose flour • 50 grams cocoa • 2 teaspoons baking powder • 1 pinch of salt • 1 ½ dl whole milk • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract • 160 grams butter (unsalted) • 120 grams dark chocolate chips Frosting • 200 grams unsalted butter • 350 grams icing sugar • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract • 1 tablespoon whole milk • Pink food coloring How to do: 1. Preheat the oven to 175 ° Celsius. Line muffin tin with paper liners. 2. Beat the eggs and the sugar white and fluffy with an electric mixer. 3. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt. In another bowl, mix together the milk and the vanilla. 4. Now, take these two mixtures and add them alternately to the egg/sugar batter. Make sure that everything is well combined. 5. Melt the butter in a sauce pan over low heat, and add the chocolate chips. Stir with a wooden spoon so the chocolate melts. Let it cool slightly. Then add it to the batter and mix well. 6. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling 3/4 full. Bake in the oven for about 25-30 minutes. 7. While the muffins cool, let's make the frosting. Sift the icing sugar and add it to the butter. Beat it with an electric mixer for 3-4 minutes so it becomes white and fluffy. 8. Mix in the vanilla and the milk. 9. Dye the frosting pink with a few drops of red food coloring. Spoon the colored frosting into a piping bag with an open star tip attached. 10. Pipe frosting onto the cooled muffins and decorate with sprinkles, eatable glitter or cupcake toppers. Done!
