BUTTERBEER CUPCAKES

Steps:

• For the cupcakes: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line cupcake pans with paper liners. Combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt in a bowl and set aside.
• In a large bowl, cream the butter until light and fluffy. Add your sugars and beat until well-combined. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then beat in your vanilla and butter flavoring.
• Alternately add in the buttermilk and cream soda into the dry ingredients in batches until all are well incorporated. Fill each cupcake liner 3/4 full, then bake for 15 to 17 minutes until a tester inserted into the center comes out clean and cake springs back to the touch. Cool completely on wire racks.
• For butterscotch filling: In a double boiler (heat-proof bowl over a pot of simmering water on the stove), combine butterscotch chips and heavy cream and stir until completely combined and smooth. Cool to room temperature. Fill a squeeze bottle with ganache and insert into the center of each cupcake, squeezing until filling begins to overflow.
• For buttercream frosting: Cream butter in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Add in the prepared ganache, vanilla, butter flavoring and salt and mix until well combined. Beat in powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, until reaching desired consistency. Add milk or cream by the Tablespoon as needed. Frost cupcakes and top with a drizzle of butterscotch ganache.

BUTTERBEER CUPCAKES

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350 and set-up a cupcake pan with cupcake liners.
• 2. Sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl; set aside.
• 3. In a separate bowl, using a mixer, beat butter and brown sugar until it is creamed together. Add the eggs one at a time, beat some more after every one. Add vanilla and butter flavoring and beat until well incorporated.
• 4. This is a good method to make the cupcakes turn out fluffy. Have at your side the buttermilk and cream soda ready to go...
• 5. Fold in 1/3 of the flour mixture. Then fold in buttermilk.
• 6. Fold in 1/3 more of the flour mixture, then fold in the cream soda. Finally, fold in the remaining 1/3 of the flour mixture.
• 7. Spoon mixture into cupcake liners; fill them just over 3/4 full. Bake about 18 minutes, or until cupcakes are springy, and toothpick from center comes out clean. Transfer cupcakes out of pan and let them cool completely.
• 8. Now make your ganache: In a saucepan on low heat, melt the butterscotch chips and heavy whipping cream, stirring occasionally. When it is all melted, pour mixture into another container, and place somewhere out of the way to cool it (like in the fridge).
• 9. Now make your butterscotch buttercream: In a mixing bowl, beat together all ingredients except for powdered sugar. Slowly add in powdered sugar and taste. If it is sweet enough for you, then stop adding more sugar!
• 10. When ready to decorate cupcakes, use whatever pastry filler you have, or if you don't have one (like me), spoon buttercream into a ziplock baggie and cut off the tip.
• 11. Decorate cupcake with buttercream, and drizzle with the ganache. The ganache is so tasty... go ahead and drizzle on a LOT! lol. You will have leftover ganache... store it for more cupcakes, or as a fruit dip, or drizzle into coffee.

BUTTERBEER CUPCAKES RECIPE - (4.4/5)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a cupcake tin with baking cups. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside. In a large mixing bowl, beat together the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the vanilla extract and butter flavoring. Fold in 1/3 of the flour mixture, then the buttermilk, 1/3 of the flour mixture, cream soda, and then the remaining flour. Folding in these ingredients will prevent over-mixing and will result in a fluffier, less dense cupcake. Fill cupcake liners 3/4 of the way full and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the cupcakes are golden and spring back when touched. Cool completely before frosting. Ganache: In a small saucepan on medium heat, melt the butterscotch chips into the heavy cream, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and cool to room temperature before using. Buttercream: In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter until light and fluffy. Mix in the butterscotch ganache, vanilla, butter flavoring, and salt. Beat in the powdered sugar for 2-3 minutes, starting with 3 cups and adding more only if necessary. Add the cream a tablespoon at a time until desired consistency is achieved (I only needed 1 tablespoon). To Assemble: Pour butterscotch ganache into a plastic squeeze bottle. Stab the tip of the bottle into cupcake and fill each cupcake with butterscotch ganache until it starts to overflow. Fill a pastry bag with butterscotch buttercream and pipe onto the top of each cupcake. Drizzle on the butterscotch ganache. Lick your fingers clean if you just so happen to get extra butterscotch on them. If you have any leftover butterscotch ganache, it can be used as ice cream topping. Store in an airtight container at room temperature (that is, if they don't get devoured immediately).
