Hi Everyone....and welcome to my share for Sweet Saturdays week 54....today I am sharing some cupcakes I baked for my sweet guys.....I made chocolate cupcakes with a chocolate filling and then made a buttercream frosting with some run and pear brandy....They seemed to be a huge hit....so I am going to have to make these again....
Chocolate Cupcakes.....
Ingredients
1 1/3 cups
all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon
baking soda
2 teaspoons baking
powder
3/4 cup
unsweetened cocoa powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons
butter, softened
1 1/2 cups white
sugar
2 eggs
3/4 teaspoon
vanilla extract
1 cup milk
Directions
Preheat oven to
350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a muffin pan with paper or foil liners.
Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cocoa and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl,
cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at
a time, beating well with each addition, then stir in the vanilla. Add the
flour mixture alternately with the milk; beat well. Fill the muffin cups 2/3
full.
Bake for 15 to 17
minutes in the preheated oven, or until a toothpick inserted into the cake
comes out clean. Frost with your favorite frosting when cool.
Wishing you all a super sweet weekend!!!
