    45 g  Butter
     1 lg Egg
   130 g  Sugar
   110 g  Milk
    30 g  Cocoa powder
   1/2    Vanilla bean
   1/2 pk Cream of tartar

MMMMM--------------------------FROSTING-------------------------------
   250 g  Cream cheese
   250 g  Mascarpone cheese
   125 g  Powdered sugar
   1/2    Vanilla bean
     1 pk Saffron
          Red icing color

 * Manitoba flour (Farina Manitoba) is flour made from
 the Manitoba variety of hard wheat, as grown in Canada
 and the States that has a high protein content.

 FOR THE DOUGH: Start by beating together butter, sugar,
 egg, vanilla and a pinch of salt for a couple of
 minutes.

 Add the two types of flour, the cocoa and the chile
 pepper. If you find some habanero chocolate, use it
 instead of the classical chile pepper. Its fruity
 flavour will wonderfully combine with the bitter
 taste of cocoa.

 At last add the milk and the cream of tartar and knead
 energetically till the dough is smooth.

 Fill 12 cupcake liners with the dough and bake them at
 180ºC/360ºF for about 20-25 minutes. Let them cool
 completely before decorating them.

 FOR THE FROSTING: Combine cream cheese, mascarpone and
 sugar. Divide the frosting in two parts.

 In the first one add the vanilla and a some red icing
 color. In the second half add the saffron.

 Let the frostings rest in the fridge for about 30
 minutes.

 Fill a piping bag with the red frosting, and squash the
 sides a little bit to cover the inside of the bag.

 Open up the bag again; drop the yellow frosting in the
 middle and push it down a little bit , this will create
 the two tone flaming effect.

 Close the piping bag and decorate your cupcakes.
