My Sweet Saturdays week 54 post!!!

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!!!
