Ingredients:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
2 large eggs
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup strawberry jam
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup vanilla frosting
1/2 cup chocolate frosting
Chocolate shavings for garnish
1/2 cup whipped cream
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake tin with paper liners.
Cream together the butter and sugar in a large bowl until the mixture is light and fluffy. This step is crucial for achieving a soft cupcake texture.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually mix these dry ingredients into the butter mixture, alternating with the milk.
Divide the batter into three equal portions. Add the cocoa powder to one portion, strawberry jam to another, and leave the third portion plain.
Layer the batters: Fill each cupcake liner with a spoonful of chocolate batter, followed by strawberry batter, and then plain batter.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cupcakes to cool completely.
Fill the cupcakes: Cut a small hole in the center of each cooled cupcake and fill with whipped cream.
Frost the cupcakes: Top with vanilla and chocolate frosting. For an extra touch of decadence, drizzle with melted chocolate and garnish with chocolate shavings.
