Vanilla Malt Cupcakes Recipe 45

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 F. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together sugar, malted milk powder, cake flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add butter and vanilla and mix until light and fluffy (about three minutes on high speed when using an electric mixer). Mix in eggs until just combined. Slowly mix in milk until just combined. Fill cupcake liners ¾ full. Bake for 20 minutes or until cupcakes bounce back when lightly touched. Top each cooled cupcake with whipped cream and a maraschino cherry.

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:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. line 2 regular 12- cuo tins with paper liners.
• In a large bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Whisk until well blended.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, malted milk powder, and espresso powder. Add the canola oil and eggs; whisk to blend. Add the milk mixture to the flour mixature and beat until smooth. Add the sour cream and vanilla and beat until combined. Stir in the minature chocolate chips.
• Divide the batter among the prepared cupcake tins, filling only halfway full. Bake the cupcakes for 15 to 17 minutes, until they spring back when touched and a toothpick inserted into the center emerges clean.
• While the cupcakes bake, prepare the buttercream. In the bowl of an electris mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, mix together the sugar and the butter on medium-low speed until well blended. Add the vanilla and whipping cream and beat on medium speed for 2 minutes, until light, spreadable and fluffy. Beat in the cherry preserves until well incorporated.
• When the cupcakes have finished baking, let sit in the pans for 2 minutes and then transfer the cupcakes to the wire racks to cool for 10 minutes more.
• While the cupcakes cool, transfer the buttercream to a patry bag fitted with a large star tip. Alternatively, you can frost the cupcakes with a knife or offset spatula. When th ecupcakes have cooled, pipe the buttercream on decorativve swirls on top of the cupcake ( or swirl with a spatula ). Garnish on top of each cupcake with a malted milk ball or cherry and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 and line cupcake pans with 24+ papers
• Sift together flour, cocoa, soda, salt, sugar and whisk in brown sugar, set aside. In a large mixing bowl blend milk and malt powder until malt dissolves. Slowly add flour mixture into the malt mixture, then the oil mixing on high until incorporated. Add eggs one at a time, scraping bowl as you go. Mix in sour cream and vanilla until just blended. Fill cupcake liners 2/3 full. Bake 15-19 minutes, until toothpick comes out clean. Let cool in pans 10 min. then remove to wire racks until completely cooled.
• When cupcakes are completely cooled prepare the frosting. Whip butter on high several minutes until fluffy and very light. Add malt and cocoa, if desired. Whip on medium speed for 1 minute. Slowly add powered sugar until the right consistency for piping or frosting. May add a 1T of milk at a time if to thick.
• Frost cupcakes, cut straws down to desired size and stick one into each cupcake if desired and top with a malted milk ball, if desired. I used Easter ones as shown in my photo, being Easter is just around the corner. :o)
