MARBLE CUPCAKES WITH CHOCOLATE GLAZE

MARBLE CUPCAKES WITH CHOCOLATE GLAZE

Don’t know if you want vanilla or chocolate cupcakes? Marble Cupcakes are an easy choice! Have both vanilla and chocolate flavor in one bite with a silky chocolate glaze!

When you crave both chocolate and vanilla, why settle on one when you can have both?

There is something about marble cakes and cupcakes that takes me back to my childhood when my mom used to make cakes almost every evening. She always used my grandmother’s recipe, which, someday, I will post on this blog. The smell of marble cake and cupcake takes me all the way back to my childhood in Tehran when my mom baked a marble cake in the afternoon and we had it with chocolate milk that was also homemade. Ah, those good old days, I sure do miss them.

These chocolate and vanilla marble cupcakes are our favorite especially when they’re covered in chocolate glaze made with butter, cocoa powder and chocolate chips.

HOW TO MAKE MARBLE CUPCAKES:
Start with mixing butter, granulated sugar and vanilla until creamy and soft. Then add the eggs one by one and mix after each addition. Next, add in the buttermilk. You can either use store bought buttermilk or make it at home. For the instructions on how to make homemade buttermilk see the notes and tips.

Last, add in the flour and baking powder. Mix the batter until incorporated but don’t over mix it. Divide the batter between two bowls and add the cocoa powder to one of the bowls. Mix well and start filling the cupcake liners with marble cupcake batter, alternating between vanilla and chocolate. Bake in the oven for 25 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Once cool, dip in the chocolate glaze and serve.
