French Vanilla Cupcakes Filled Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners. Whisk the flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl. Beat the butter and sugar in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment on medium-high speed until fluffy, about 4 minutes. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, scraping down the bowl as needed. Beat in the vanilla. Reduce the mixer speed to medium low; beat in half of the flour mixture, then all of the milk, then the remaining flour mixture until just combined.
• Divide the batter among the muffin cups, filling each three-quarters full. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean, 18 to 20 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through. Transfer the pan to a rack and let cool 5 minutes, then remove the cupcakes to the rack to cool completely. Top with Frosting.
• Whisk the egg whites, sugar and salt in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water (do not let the bowl touch the water) until the mixture is warm and the sugar dissolves. Remove the bowl from the pan; let cool slightly.
• Beat the egg white mixture in a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment (or with a hand mixer) on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, 12 to 15 minutes. Beat in the butter a few pieces at a time, then continue beating until smooth. (Don't worry if the mixture looks separated at first-it will come together as you keep beating.)

Steps:

• CAKE or CUPCAKES: Bake cake or cupcakes as directed on box (only add the extra egg and pudding mix). I used mini cupcake pans (lined with paper liners) I got 54 mini-cupcakes out of this batter
• FILLING: Beat mascarpone cheese and butter together on medium speed Reduce speed - slowly add confectioner sugar, until blended Add vanilla and almond extracts Add milk, one teaspoon at a time Increase speed until the consistency is creamy Chill 30 minutes, (if necessary) Place filling in pastry bag with a small tip. Poke hole in center of cupcake until filled
• FROSTING: The recommended frosting or any other frosting you'd prefer.
• NOTE: You can increase the confectioners sugar by a tablespoon at a time, if the filling is too thin or decrease if you'd prefer yours not so sweet. I imagine with a little creativity, you can create your own flavor combinations.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Line two 12-cup muffin tins with paper liners.
• Sift flour, baking powder, and salt together into a bowl. Whisk milk, eggs, and vanilla extract together in a separate bowl.
• Beat sugar, butter, and shortening together in a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer until creamy. Mix in flour mixture. Add milk mixture and beat on low speed for 30 seconds. Increase speed to high and beat until smooth, about 2 minutes. Fill the prepared muffin cups 1/2 full with batter.
• Bake in the preheated oven until tops spring back when lightly pressed, about 20 minutes. Cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray 18 muffin cups with nonstick spray.
• Blend cake mix, water, oil, egg whites, almond extract, and vanilla extract in a large bowl at low speed until moistened, about 30 seconds. Beat at medium speed for 2 minutes. Pour batter evenly into the prepared cups.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean, 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool completely, about 30 minutes.
• While cupcakes cool, smash the fresh strawberries with the back of a fork in a bowl until they are a coarse pulp. Add jam and lemon zest.
• Beat cream cheese in a mixing bowl until fluffy. Mix in fruit mixture and until well combined. Fold in whipped topping. Cover and refrigerate until cupcakes finish cooling.
• Slice off the top half of the cupcakes and spoon a layer of strawberry filling onto each. Cover with the top half. Dust with confectioners' sugar.

Steps:

• To make the cupcakes, Melt the butter in the microwave. Add cake mix, eggs and water to the butter in large bowl.Mix on low for 1 minute Then mix on high for 1 min.Pop them in the oven on 350 for 20 minutes.Let cool.
• For filling, in a medium sauce pan, combine water, sugar, flour and lemon juice and mix well.Heat and stir until mixture boils and thickens.Cool completely!Stir in raspberries. (Will make a lot!).
• To fill cupcakes, cut a small round out, fill with raspberry filling, then replace with what you cut out. Frosting will cover it up.
• For the frosting, Beat together the butter and sugar with an electric beater. Once well combined, add the vanilla and water. Beat until smooth and creamy.
