His And Hers Tuxedo Cupcake Recipes

BROWN SUGAR CORN CAKE CUPCAKE

Steps:

• For the graham cracker crumbs: Mix the graham cracker crumbs and granulated sugar together in a medium bowl. Stir in the melted butter with a fork until the crumbs are well coated.
• For the cake batter: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F; line a cupcake pan with 12 liners.
• Using an electric mixer, cream together the cake flour, brown sugar, corn, butter, milk, strawberries, baking powder, vanilla, baking soda, salt and eggs.
• Scoop the batter into the cupcake liners, sprinkle each with 1 tablespoon of the graham cracker crumbs and bake until cooked through, 20 to 22 minutes. Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting.
• For the frosting: Using an electric mixer, cream together the confectioners' sugar, cream cheese, butter and vanilla until fluffy.
• To assemble: Core out the center of each cupcake and fill with some of the chopped strawberries. Top each with some of the frosting, and a few chopped strawberries.

KARLOFF BISCOFF CUPCAKE

Steps:

• For the cake batter: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F; line a cupcake pan with 12 paper liners.
• Sift together the flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. Add 1 cup warm water, the vegetable oil, vanilla and vinegar and mix until combined (be sure not to over-mix).
• Divide the batter among the cupcake liners and bake until an inserted toothpick comes out clean, 16 to 18 minutes. Cool the cupcakes completely before frosting.
• For the frosting: In a stand mixer with a whisk attachment, mix the vegan butter and shortening for 7 minutes, scraping down the bowl a couple times. Add half of the confectioners' sugar and half of the cookie spread and mix on medium for another minute. Add the remaining confectioners' sugar and cookie spread and mix on medium low to fully incorporate. Increase the speed to medium and whip until the mixture is very fluffy, about 2 more minutes. If the frosting looks too thick, add a splash of vanilla extract or soy milk.
• For the ganache: Using a double boiler (or in the microwave), heat up the soy milk until it reaches a boil. Pour over the dark chocolate and wait a minute before stirring.
• Fill a piping bag with frosting and frost the cupcakes. Drizzle some ganache over each cupcake, and sprinkle the cookie crumbs on top.
