Featured Foodie Friday: Oblique Rays

January 26, 2012 27 comments Article Dessert, Guest Posts, Recipes

It is Friday, the weekend right?! For me, that doesn’t mean relaxing, far from. It means two crazy nights at work. I have been working mostly nights at Morimoto Waikiki, with the exception of a couple morning shift this week. It amazes me the difference in the type of shift I have when I work a lunch versus a night. Lunch shifts at Morimoto are mostly about setting up and prepping out food. Night shift are about putting out food, and lots of it. I am excited to be working nights after working lunches all fall at SALT, but it is a pretty crazy experience. Morimoto is a high-volume fine dining restaurant, which means go time all the time at night. The good thing is, I am LOVING it! The kitchen at Morimoto runs much more smoothly than my last job, which makes busy nights feel less chaotic. I love the excitement of the kitchen at night, not to mention the fact that time flies by when you are busy. What are your weekend plans? If you have some free time I have just the recipe for you. Rujuta over at Oblique Rays is our featured blogger for today with a delicious recipe for you to make on your days off! I know you are going to love this one. Have a great weekend!

Tiramisu Cupcakes

Oblique Rays started out as a blog where I would ramble on about the inconsequential happenings in my life. Over the years as I started to know more about me, I realized a penchant for all things dessert. This love for desserts is now my stress buster, and I’m happiest when I’m mixing flour and butter, and as a natural extension of this, Oblique Rays is now slowly turning into a food blog!

These cupcakes are my spin on Tiramisu, and have a rich coffee and cream cheese flavor!

Ingredients
  

  • For the Cupcake:
  • 100 g butter
  • 100 g powdered sugar
  • 100 g all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tbsp instant coffee
  • 4-6 tbsp dark rum
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • For the frosting:
  • 8 tbsp Cream Cheese around 150-180 gms
  • 8 tbsp heavy whipping cream around 150-200 ml
  • 3/4-1 cup icing sugar as per taste
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • To make the cupcakes, preheat the oven to 350F (175C) whip the butter and sugar together.
  • Add the eggs and vanilla and whip until the mixture is light.
  • Add the instant coffee and mix. (You can use a lesser amount of coffee, but a stronger coffee flavor complements the frosting very well).
  • Mix the flour and baking powder (dry ingredients) in a bowl.
  • Now, slowly incorporate the dry ingredients and the rum alternately (in a dry-wet-dry sequence) with the butter mixture.
  • Divide the mixture into 12 greased cupcake moulds and bake at 350F until a skewer comes out clean (about 15-20 minutes).
  • For the frosting, whip the cream cheese and vanilla until soft.
  • Slowly add cream and icing sugar, while whipping, until stiff peaks are formed.
  • Pipe the frosting on cooled cupcakes. Dust cocoa powder on top.
