Kladdkaka Cupcakes with a Chocolate Fudge Topping

Servings: 12 cupcakes

Ingredients

Cupcakes:

  • 100g (3½ oz) dark chocolate
  • 100g (⅓ cup + 1 tbs) butter
  • 50ml (3 tbs) milk or brewed coffee
  • 60g (⅓ cup) brown sugar
  • 60g (⅓ cup) white sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 40g (⅓ cup) flour (see note 1)
  • 1 tablespoon cocoa

Fudgy topping:

  • 50ml (¼ cup) whipping cream
  • 20g (2 tbs) sugar
  • 1 tablespoon dark syrup
  • 25g (¼ cup) dark chocolate
  • 25g (2 tbs) butter

Topping:

  • Chopped nuts (see note 2)

Instructions

  • Pre-heat the oven to 170ºC (350ºF). Line a muffin tin with cupcake cases.

Cakes:

  • Gently heat the chocolate and butter together in a pan (or use a Bain Marie if you prefer).
  • When the ingredients have almost melted, remove from the heat, stir, and add the milk or coffee. Leave until mixture cools a little.
  • In a bowl, beat the eggs and sugar together.
  • Stir in the chocolate mixture.
  • Combine the flour and cocoa, then add to the other ingredients. Stir until well mixed.
  • Pour into the cupcake cases (it's a fairly thin batter) until they are about half way full.
  • Bake for 12-14 minutes. The top should be fairly spongy when pressed.
  • Remove from the oven and set to one side while you make the topping.

Chocolate fudge:

  • Combine all the topping ingredients in a pan /apart from the butter).
  • Allow to cook for around 15 minutes, just until the mixture starts to thicken.
  • Remove from the heat and beat in the butter.
  • Spoon on top of each cupcake. Don't overfill or you will end up with a runny mess!
  • Sprinkle with whatever you fancy (I used cashews on some) and enjoy!

Notes

  1. You can use spelt or regular flour for this recipe (just use the same amount)
  2. I used chopped cashews because that's what I had on hand. You can use any nuts or toppings you like (or nothing at all).
 
Disclaimer:
I have converted grams to cups/ounces/tablespoons using online converters. Although I have no reason to believe they are inaccurate, please be aware that I have not made the recipe with imperial measurements.
In addition, many ingredients are different in Europe compared to North America. I do all I can to offer possible alternatives and to ensure the best possible outcomes for everyone. However, results cannot always be guaranteed if you have not used the same ingredients, measurements or methods as me.
Lastly, I do everything I can to ensure that my recipes (and instructions) are accurate and easy to follow. However, I am human, and don't always get it right. If you notice anything strange, a mistake, or even a typo, please let me know in the comments.
