How to Make Black And White Cupcakes

  1. **Make Chocolate Icing:** In a heavy small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup heavy cream and 1/4 cup light corn syrup. Heat over medium heat until just simmering.
  2. Remove from heat and stir in 4 ounces chopped semi-sweet chocolate and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and melted.
  3. **Make White Icing:** In a small bowl, whisk together 1 cup powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons milk, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Let both icings stand at room temperature for 1 1/2 hours to thicken.
  5. **Prepare Cupcakes:** Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  6. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon lemon zest, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  7. In another medium bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups cake flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  8. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup granulated sugar and 1/2 cup softened unsalted butter until light and fluffy.
  9. Gradually beat in the egg mixture.
  10. Gradually add the dry ingredients and buttermilk alternately to the wet ingredients, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  11. Fill each cupcake liner about 2/3 full.
  12. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  13. Let cupcakes cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  14. Once completely cool, spread chocolate icing over half of each cupcake and white icing over the other half.
  15. Let the icing set for about 1 hour before serving.
