How To Make Wonderful Mozart Cupcakes

Cupcakes make for a delicious treat that everyone can enjoy, we came across a recipe for delicious Mozart themed Cupcakes and decided to share it on our blog. You can make Mozart Cupcakes at home, for a party, or a piano recital!

Today we're doing a musically baked theme, ;o) Pistachio Cupcakes with Mozart Ball marzipan filling and a butter cream on top. This recipe makes about 20 cupcakes.

For the decoration, a few days before melting dark chocolate in a water bath, fill a pastry bag with a small Spout hole or a disposable piping bag with a small tip cut off and make chocolate treble clefs. To help, you can print treble clef designs and set them as a template in the film.

It's best to take the butter out of the fridge on the day before, as the pudding and butter should be at the same temperature and both must not be too cold.

Then finish the buttercream: beat 160g of butter until frothy and stir the pudding with a tablespoon.

For the cupcakes use 125g soft butter 80 g sugar and 1/2 tsp of vanilla sugar until fluffy. Gradually stir in 2 eggs and 1/2 teaspoon of lemon peel. Mix 250 g of flour with 1/2 tsp baking powder and stir in alternately 180 ml of milk. 100 g pistachios, 6 tablespoons milk and puree and stir well.

Cut 10 Mozart balls in half vertically.

Grease a muffin baking tray with paper cases and give each a dab of batter into the baking mold. Then put each half Mozart ball and press down slightly.

Turn the dough out again, so that the Mozart balls are covered and the molds are filled to about 2/3 to 3/4. Bake the whole thing at 356 ° F in a preheated oven for about 20 minutes.

Decorate the cooled buttercream cupcakes with the treble clef, finely chopped pistachios and grated dark chocolate.

When cut, the cupcakes look like this:
