Here is a fun recipe for Easter or for parties this year.
My littlest daughter absolutely loves Whoppers candy – it is always her first choice when we hit the candy aisle.
I thought it would be fun to do a Whoppers cupcake for my sweet girl- which she absolutely loved.
You can use any variety of Whoppers but I chose these pretty Easter Robin Egg Whoppers. So fun when you are looking for an alternative to coconut cakes and lemon tarts on Easter.
Here is the recipe:
- Cupcake Batter:
- 1½ Cups All-purpose Flour
- 1 Cup Granulated Sugar
- ¼ Cup Malted Milk Powder
- 1 Teaspoon Salt
- 1 Teaspoon Baking Soda
- ½ Cup Cocoa Powder
- 1 Cup Milk
- ½ Cup Vegetable or Canola Oil
- 1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1 Egg (beaten)
- Frosting:
- 2¾ Powdered Sugar
- 6 Tablespoons Cocoa Powder
- 6 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter
- ⅓ Cup Whipping Cream (or Milk)
- 1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 10-20 Easter Egg Whoppers Candy
- Preheat the oven to 350. Line the muffin tin with cupcake liners
- or grease well.
- In a large mixing bowl, mix the flour, sugar, malted milk powder, baking soda, salt, cocoa powder together. Set aside.
- In a small mixing bowl, whisk the milk, oil, vanilla
- extract and egg until smooth.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until
- smooth.
- Fill the muffin tins to the halfway mark.
- Bake for 15-17 minutes (depends on your oven) until a toothpick
- comes out clean when inserted into the middle.
- Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting.
- For the frosting:
- In a medium bowl, sift together the powdered sugar and cocoa.
- Set aside.
- In a large bowl or mixer, cream the butter until smooth.
- Slowly add in the sugar mixture.
- Once combined, add in the whipping cream followed by the vanilla.
- Combine until light and fluffy.
- Once the cupcakes are cooled, top them with crushed Easter Egg Whoppers Candy.
