Time 1h

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 22

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¼ teaspoon salt
¾ cup white sugar
¼ cup shortening
2 mashed ripe bananas
¼ cup buttermilk
1 egg
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup butter, softened
5 cups confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons milk, or as needed
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon cocoa
1 tablespoon strawberry jam
¼ cup heavy cream
¼ cup chopped semisweet chocolate
½ teaspoon butter
¼ teaspoon instant coffee granules
12 dried banana chips

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 12 cups of a muffin tin with paper liners.
  • Combine flour, cinnamon, baking soda, nutmeg, and salt in a bowl.
  • Cream sugar and shortening together in a large mixing bowl. Add mashed bananas, buttermilk, egg, and vanilla extract. Add flour mixture and stir to combine. Fill muffin cups 2/3 full.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center of a cupcake comes out clean, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer cupcakes to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Meanwhile, cream butter in the bowl of a stand mixer. Slowly add confectioners' sugar 1 cup at a time and mix until creamy; the final cup of sugar will not blend smoothly. Add milk until frosting is creamy. Mix in vanilla extract.
  • Reserve 1/4 cup frosting in a separate bowl. Divide remaining frosting into 2 equal portions. Add cocoa to one portion and mix until thoroughly blended. Add jam to the other portion and mix until thoroughly blended.
  • Pour cream into a microwave-safe container and heat in the microwave for 30 seconds. Add chocolate, butter, and instant coffee granules. Stir ganache until smooth and let sit until thickened, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Pipe a ring of chocolate buttercream frosting around the edge of a cooled cupcake; do not pipe too high. Fill in the center with a dollop of strawberry buttercream frosting. Place a banana chip on top and drizzle with ganache. Repeat with remaining cupcakes.

I thought these cupcakes were just okay. They were a bit too sweet for my taste and the frosting was too thick.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cupcakes turned out dry and crumbly. I'm going to try again with a different recipe.

The cupcakes were easy to make, but the frosting was a bit tricky. I had to add more milk than the recipe called for.
