Christmas cake with a surprise
I bring to your attention one of the variants of the Christmas cupcakes. This cupcake is not for the following series: spicy, with nuts and dried fruit. This is a very different cake, but nevertheless it is suitable for New year or Christmas. And the whole thing is in the design of the cupcake!!! All his "charm" in the middle of the cupcake, in my version is baked with chocolate, something very similar to the brownie cupcake, and carved in the shape of stars. Here variations can be a lot... it can be Christmas trees, little men, hearts... your choice. Well, the cake is very tender and delicious! I made it based on ricotta cheese can be easily replaced for cottage cheese (preferably dry) or any other cottage cheese. And of course, the final point is a thick thick layer of chocolate... and for decoration I used gingerbread which is also generously poured chocolate. As decoration use the same "stars" of chocolate dough or any other jewelry -- Let your imagination run free and get you out the usual scrap products a very elegant and festive cupcake!!!
