Time 1h25m

Yield 12 cupcakes

Number Of Ingredients 21

2 ounces unsalted butter
2 1/2 ounces light brown sugar
2 ounces granulated sugar
1 3/4 ounces whole egg
6 1/4 ounces ripe banana puree
7 ounces cake flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 1/2 ounces chocolate toffee candy bar bits
2 ounces buttermilk
7 ounces prepared dulce de leche (available at Latin-American grocery stores)
3 1/2 ounces chocolate toffee candy bar bits
7 1/2 ounces butter, softened
24 ounces cream cheese
12 ounces powdered sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
9 ounces prepared dulce de leche (available at Latin-American grocery stores)
Freeze-dried chocolate chip ice cream (recommended: Astronaut Foods)
Miniature chocolate chips

Steps:

  • For the cupcakes: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a standard-size muffin pan with 12 cupcake liners.
  • Combine the butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar in the bowl of an electric stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Cream on medium-high speed until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Scrape down the bowl and add the egg and banana puree. Cream for an additional 3 minutes. Scrape down the bowl, and then add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Mix for 30 seconds on low speed. Add the toffee bits and buttermilk. Stir on low speed until combined.
  • Fill the prepared cupcake liners three-quarters full with batter and bake until golden brown and baked through, about 25 minutes. Cool the cupcakes completely.
  • For the filling: Stir the dulce de leche and toffee bits together until fully combined. Place in a pastry bag with a round tip large enough to allow the toffee bits to pass through without becoming lodged.
  • For the icing: In a bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle, beat the butter on medium-high speed until light and fluffy. Add the cream cheese and mix on medium-high speed until well combined and lump free. Scrape down the sides of the mixer bowl and add the powdered sugar. Stir on low speed until well combined. Add the vanilla extract and beat on medium-high speed for 2 minutes. Remove from the mixer and stir in the dulce de leche in by hand to create a marbled appearance. Place in a pastry bag fitted with a large round tip.
  • To assemble: Using an apple corer, remove the center core of the cupcakes and fill with dulce de leche toffee filling. Pipe the caramel cream cheese icing generously on top of each cupcake. Using a paring knife, gently poke the freeze-dried ice cream to create separated chunks. Place 4 chunks on top of each cupcake. Dredge the outer rim of each cupcake in the miniature chocolate chips.

Provided by Good Food team

Categories     Dinner, Supper, Treat

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 9

140g wholemeal flour
2 tsp baking powder
50g golden caster sugar
1 medium egg
50g melted butter , cooled
125ml semi-skimmed milk
2 small ripe bananas , 1 mashed, 1 sliced
140g white chocolate , roughly chopped
cinnamon , for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Line a bun tin with 8 paper cases. In a large bowl, mix the flour, baking powder and sugar with a pinch of salt.
  • In a separate bowl, beat the egg, melted butter and milk for 20 secs; add the mashed banana and beat for a further 5 secs until everything is nicely mixed.
  • Pour the banana mix into the flour and fold everything together. Once it is almost combined, add 85g of the white chocolate - the mixture will still look a little lumpy. Spoon the cake mix into the paper cases and bake for 18-20 mins until golden and risen, and a skewer inserted comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack.
  • Meanwhile, melt the remaining white chocolate over a pan of barely simmering water. Allow to cool a bit, then spread on top of the cakes. Add a couple of slices of banana and sprinkle with cinnamon.
