Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (356°F). Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners or parchment rounds.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 165 g flour, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp baking soda; set the dry mixture aside.
- In a large bowl, beat 60 g softened butter with 110 g white sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add 10 g dark cocoa to the butter mixture and mix until incorporated.
- Add 1 large egg and mix until combined.
- Add half of the dry mixture to the wet mixture and mix on low just until combined.
- Add 100 ml yogurt, 1 tsp vanilla extract, and 1/2 tsp red food coloring; mix until combined.
- Add the remaining dry mixture and mix until the batter is smooth and homogenous, taking care not to overmix.
- Divide the batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two‑thirds full.
- Bake for 23–25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven, let the cupcakes sit in the pan for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before frosting.
- For the frosting, beat 200 g cream cheese with 50 g powdered sugar, grated lime zest, and 1 tsp rose water (optional) until smooth.
- In a separate chilled bowl, whip 400 g whipping cream to firm peaks.
- Fold the whipped cream gently into the cream cheese mixture until evenly combined.
- When the cupcakes are completely cool, top each with the cream cheese–whipped cream frosting. Serve.
