Each year Super Bowl parties get more competitive when it comes to bringing a dish to a party. Will guests like what I bring? I always am in angst when it comes to bringing something new. I can tell you this, if my husband gives me the two thumbs up, then it certainly is worthy. I have found great success with the following recipe, which I created several years ago, and find it complimentary to most Super Bowl food spreads. (Actually, I brought a few dozen to my high school charity fundraiser a couple years back, and made some new friends!) The key to this recipe is quality ingredients, namely a nice full bodied dark stout. I have used Guiness Stout, however recently I used Belching Beavers Peanut Butter Stout for a completely different flavor (can find it at a Sprouts). Another nice stout is a Double Chocolate Stout sold at Trader Joe's. Whichever you choose, you cannot go wrong! This recipe is also Vegan friendly as there are no eggs. Enjoy the recipe:
Ingredients:
·
1 ½ C Cake Flour
·
1 C granulated sugar
·
1 tsp baking soda
·
¼ C unsweetened dark Cocoa powder
·
1/3 C oil (light extra virgin olive oil is
great)
·
1 T apple cider vinegar
·
1 tsp vanilla
·
1 C Guiness Stout or Chocolate Stout
Filling:
· 8 oz Mascarpone cheese
· 1 large egg at room temperature
· 1/3 C granulated sugar
· 1/8 t salt
· 6 oz. chocolate chips
· ½ C finely chopped pecans – optional
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Prepare cupcake pans with
liners. Combine flour, sugar, baking soda, cocoa and salt in a bowl. In another
mixing bowl, add oil, vinegar, beer and vanilla beating well. Add the dry
combination slowly. Make Filling: Combine cheese, egg, sugar, salt, chocolate
chips and nuts. Fill liners 1/3 full with batter, then top each with a heaping
tsp of cheese mixture. Please note that the middle will be liquid until it
cools – approximately 15 minutes.
Serve with a light whipped cream topping and candied pecan on top!
