Step by Step guide

Step 1

First, prepare the syrup: mix 1 cup of water with 1 cup of sugar, heat, and let it boil for 3–4 minutes, then add the rum. Let it cool.

Step 2

Using a mixer, combine 200 grams of softened butter with flour, 0.5 cups of sugar, sifted flour with baking powder, cocoa powder, and previously beaten eggs with milk. Add a pinch of salt. Fold in the chocolate chips.

Step 3

Pour the batter into cupcake molds and place them in a preheated oven at 392°F. Bake for 20 minutes at 356°F.

Step 4

While the cupcakes are baking, prepare the cream. For this, beat the softened butter, cottage cheese, and vanilla extract with a mixer, adding the powdered sugar at the final stage.
