Cocoa cupcakes with white chocolate heart are simple, very soft, and delicious treats that appeal to both adults and children, a pleasant contrast of bitter cocoa powder with the sweetness of white chocolate.
A soft cocoa batter and, above all, an irresistible soft white chocolate heart that will make every break a unique and unrepeatable moment! They are perfect for breakfast and snack time at home and school for your kids.
We are approaching the start of the school year, and what better occasion to try and prepare these wonderful simple and genuine cupcakes to put in our kids’ backpacks.
For the preparation of these cupcakes, I used the 8 semi-sphere portion mold from the Happyflex company. It’s a very pure food-grade silicone mold for oven and freezer use.

The batter should be soft, smooth, and homogeneous.
Brush the silicone semi-spheres with butter and fill them a little more than halfway with the prepared mixture, add a nice piece of white chocolate in the center of each mold, cover with more batter leveling the surface well with the back of a spoon.
Preheat the oven to 350°F and bake the cupcakes for about 18/20 minutes in a fan oven.
If you use the traditional method, cook a few minutes longer!
Baking time always depends on the power of your oven.After baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool before flipping them over.
Once the cocoa cupcakes with white chocolate heart have cooled, if desired, dust them with plenty of powdered sugar, using a star-shaped or other decorative template.
