It is the turn of flour and baking powder (in case of absence, it can be replaced with ordinary soda slaked with vinegar). And we interfere again.
Pour half of the dough, add cocoa to the rest.
We prepare the molds and pour the dough into them in random order. You can immediately into silicone or even additionally into paper. In paper forms, cupcakes look more presentable, they are convenient to take with your hands, with you on the road.
Pour 250-300 ml of water into the multicooker pan. We put a stand-steamer and place molds with dough on it. I have a multicooker DEX60, you can use both the lower and upper racks for steaming. In 20 minutes, all the household will come running to the smell)

And at the same time, the ingredients for them require the most common ones that can be found in any kitchen. It seems to me that this recipe can be modernized, for example, by adding a small layer of jam or jam between the layers of dough, but I myself have not tried it yet, if you dare to experiment, tell me in the comments what happens!

The magic helper of the slow cooker does not always live up to the expectations of its owner. Most of the complaints relate to baking. Many stoves do not have this mode at all, and those that are equipped with it often fail. As a result, the baking turns out to be half-baked, the dough falls off, and burnt sides or bottoms may result. Familiar situation? Then this one is for you. They bake perfectly and evenly, they turn out fluffy, just airy. And the cooking method has no difficulties, therefore, without delay, get to work. There is only one nuance. For baking, it is better to use silicone molds.
Ingredients:
- egg;
- sugar - ½ cup, maybe a little less;
- a pinch of vanillin and salt;
- milk - 100 ml;
- flour - 1 cup;
- soda - ½ tsp or 1 teaspoon of baking powder;
- chocolate - 30-40 grams (you can use raisins or berries).
How to cook cupcakes for a couple in a slow cooker:
In a deep bowl, beat the egg, add sugar, vanilla and salt, beat with a whisk or mixer.
Pour in milk.
Add baking powder to flour, mix. Add flour mixture to dough. Mix well so that there are no lumps.
Note! It does not affect the splendor of cupcakes, whether you choose soda or baking powder for their preparation. But their color will be different. With soda, baking will turn out to be darker in color, and with baking powder - light.
If you use soda, it must be extinguished and added to the finished dough at the very end. Many recipes allow you to use soda without extinguishing. Indeed, even without vinegar, it gives the effect of loosening, but still, when it enters into the reaction, more carbon dioxide bubbles are released. Namely, thanks to them, the dough turns out magnificent. Again, if the soda is not extinguished, the steam cakes will come out with its characteristic very unpleasant aftertaste.
Finely chop the chocolate with a knife or grate on a coarse grater.
Grease molds with oil. Fill molds 2/3 full with dough. Place them in the steamer.
Advice! If the multicooker does not have a steam mode, it's okay. You can use "Cooking" or "Soup".
Pour about 3-4 cups of water into the multicooker bowl. Cook for about half an hour (30-35 minutes). Readiness to check with a toothpick.
Steamed cupcakes in a slow cooker are ready! Let it cool down a bit and you can serve it to the table. Additionally, you can sprinkle powdered sugar on top, pour over chocolate icing or jam.

Sincerely, Natalia.

Many housewives love and know how to bake a variety of cupcakes, and this pastry is almost no surprise. However, few have tried steaming muffins in a slow cooker. Their taste is a little unusual. They are fluffy, light, slightly moist inside.
Thanks to the simple technique of laying out alternately black and light dough, as in this recipe, the view of the cupcakes in the section is simply fantastic. The dough is kneaded very simply from the available products. It looks like a biscuit, made without adding butter or margarine, which significantly reduces the calorie content of baking, but this does not affect the taste. Children can be involved in the process of filling molds with two types of dough. If time is short, you can cook this recipe only chocolate or only light.
These two-color muffins are cooked in the VES Electric SK A-12 slow cooker in the "steam" mode. Taste and appearance portioned cupcakes is so chic, and the recipe is so simple that I boldly recommend it to all readers of the site. From the indicated ingredients, I got 12 small cupcakes.
Cooking method
Prepare the necessary products.
Break eggs into a bowl, add sugar (you can take a little more or less, focusing on your taste).
Beat with a mixer in a lush thick foam. This process will take a lot of time, at least 5-6 minutes, so it will be difficult to achieve the desired consistency with a whisk.
Slowly pour in the milk, gently mixing the dough.
Add slaked soda or baking powder. Add flour (be sure to sift). Flour to introduce in small portions, mixing gently and gently with a spoon or spatula.
Do not use a mixer at this stage. As many air bubbles as possible should remain in the dough, the taste of future cupcakes directly depends on this. The consistency of the mixture is as on.
Transfer half of the dough to another bowl and add the sifted cocoa powder. Stir in cocoa carefully.
The dark dough is ready. But in light you need to add as much flour as cocoa in chocolate. This is necessary so that both mixtures have the same consistency and subsequently bake evenly.
Place the cupcake liners on the steamer insert. Put in a teaspoon white dough, then place the same amount of chocolate in the center. For each type, be sure to use a separate spoon.
And so on until the molds are two-thirds full. If all the dough cannot be decomposed, the remaining must be placed in the refrigerator and bake a second batch. You don’t need to knead a lot of dough at once, otherwise it may lose its airiness during long storage, and the cupcakes will no longer be so tender.
Pour 1 liter of boiling water into the multicooker bowl (you can pour it in advance cold water and let it boil in a slow cooker). Put the steamer rack with cupcakes on the bowl, close the lid and cook in the “Steam” mode for 25 minutes.
Cupcakes can be taken out of the molds and served immediately after cooking, but they are good the next day.
This is what a two-tone cupcake looks like in a section.
Such delicious and beautiful two-color cupcakes in a slow cooker will appeal to everyone, from young to old. They delight children, and adults are pleasantly surprised and cheered up. Enjoy your meal!
