Time 2h10m

Yield 15 cupcakes

Number Of Ingredients 21

1 3/4 cups (222 grams) all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
6 tablespoons (90 grams) heavy cream, at room temperature
1 cup (135 grams) corn kernels, thawed if frozen
6 tablespoons (90 grams) sour cream, at room temperature
1/2 cup (113 grams) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/4 cup (50 grams) refined coconut oil, soft but not melted
1 cup (200 grams) granulated sugar
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla bean paste or extract
1/4 cup (70 grams) cranberry sauce
1/2 cup (113 grams) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup (113 grams) cream cheese, at room temperature
3 cups (360 grams) powdered sugar
Pinch kosher salt
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla bean paste or extract
2 tablespoons (30 grams) heavy cream
About 2/3 cup thick cranberry sauce (if it's super runny, drain off some of the juices)
Sliced fresh cranberries, for decorating
Fresh rosemary sprigs, for decorating

Steps:

  • For the cupcakes: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line two cupcake pans with 15 cupcake liners, spacing them out evenly between the two pans.
  • Sift together the flour and baking powder in a medium bowl, then lightly stir in the salt and set aside. Combine the heavy cream and 1/2 cup corn in a food processor and puree until smooth, being careful not to overblend so the cream doesn't turn into butter. Add the sour cream and blend just to combine, then set aside.
  • Cream together the butter, coconut oil and granulated sugar in a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment on medium-high speed, scraping down the sides occasionally with a rubber spatula to make sure everything is incorporated evenly, until light and fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the vanilla. Reduce the mixer to medium-low and add the dry mixture and corn puree mixture in 3 alternating additions, then fold in the remaining 1/2 cup corn kernels with a rubber spatula. Using an ice cream scoop, distribute the batter evenly among the cupcake liners.
  • Bake for 10 minutes, then rotate the pans and continue to bake until the cupcakes are thinking about starting to turn brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few crumbs on it, 6 to 10 minutes more. If the cupcakes need more time, continue to bake and check them frequently (like every 30 to 45 seconds). Let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • For the buttercream: If desired, press the cranberry sauce through a fine-mesh sieve to get rid of the cranberry skins, which will yield a smoother buttercream. This step is not necessary, though. Beat together the cranberry sauce, butter and cream cheese in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, until smooth. Add the powdered sugar, salt and vanilla and continue beating until combined. Beat in the heavy cream. Transfer to a piping bag.
  • To assemble: Use an apple corer to extract the centers of the cupcakes. Transfer the thick cranberry sauce to a piping bag or resealable plastic bag with the corner snipped off, then pipe it into the centers of the cupcakes. Pipe a blob of frosting onto the cupcakes and decorate with sliced cranberries and rosemary sprigs. Enjoy! These are best enjoyed within a day or two.

CRANBERRY CUPCAKES WITH WHITE CHOCOLATE FROSTING



Cranberry Cupcakes with White Chocolate Frosting image

This recipe creates a light, tender cranberry cupcake--with just a hint of orange--that is then topped with a creamy, buttery white chocolate frosting. It's flavor heaven. You will have leftover frosting, as this recipe makes enough to generously frost 16 cupcakes, at least. Feel free to halve the frosting recipe, if needed.

2 ½ teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
4 large egg whites, at room temperature
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
¾ cup white sugar
1 ½ teaspoons freshly grated orange zest
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
⅓ cup buttermilk, at room temperature
⅓ cup heavy cream, at room temperature
1 cup chopped fresh cranberries

CRANBERRY CUPCAKES WITH LEMON ICING



Cranberry Cupcakes with Lemon Icing image

Even though I often substitute with healthy ingredients in my baking, there are some things that you just don't change! A little treat never hurt...and these are good! I made them for Mother's Day and got rave reviews from the family. The icing is sweet (what icing isn't?), so if you prefer, you can serve them without it. They taste wonderful both ways!

Categories     Desserts

Time 30m

Yield 12 cupcakes

Number Of Ingredients 17

nonstick cooking spray, for greasing
½ cup unsalted butter, (1 stick) room temperature
½ cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs, room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup dulce de leche
⅔ cup whole milk
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
¾ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon kosher salt
½ cup unsalted butter, (1 stick) room temperature
8 oz cream cheese, room temperature
4 cups powdered sugar
⅓ cup heavy cream, plus 2 tablespoons
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
green food coloring, 18-20
small candy eyeball

Steps:

  • Make the cupcakes: Preheat the oven to 375°F(190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with liners and spray with nonstick spray.
  • In a large bowl, use an electric hand mixer on medium speed to cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, vanilla, dulce de leche, and milk and beat until completely combined and smooth.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in 2 additions, mixing on low speed until fully incorporated.
  • Divide the batter between the prepared cupcake liners, filling each a little more than halfway.
  • Bake the cupcakes for 17-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let cool completely, 20-30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile make the frosting: In a medium bowl, use an electric hand mixer on medium-high speed to beat together the butter and cream cheese until fluffy. Add the powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, and mix on low speed until fully incorporated. Add the heavy cream, vanilla, and green food coloring and whip until the frosting is smooth and evenly colored. Transfer the frosting to a piping bag fitted with a large round tip.
  • Frost each cupcake by holding the piping bag upright and piping a swirl of frosting about 1½ inches high. Place 2 candy eyes on top of each green swirl.
  • Refrigerate the cupcakes until ready to serve.
  • Enjoy!

Tips

  • For the best flavor, use fresh cranberries. If you can't find fresh cranberries, you can use frozen cranberries that have been thawed and drained.
  • Be sure to measure your ingredients accurately. This will help ensure that your cupcakes turn out perfect.
  • Mix the batter until it is just combined. Overmixing will make the cupcakes tough.
  • Fill the cupcake liners about 2/3 full. If you fill them too full, the cupcakes will overflow in the oven.
  • Bake the cupcakes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Be careful not to overbake them, or they will be dry.
  • Allow the cupcakes to cool completely before frosting them.
  • To make the dulce de leche pecan frosting, be sure to use a good quality dulce de leche. You can find it in the Hispanic section of most grocery stores.
  • Toast the pecans before adding them to the frosting. This will bring out their flavor.
  • Pipe the frosting onto the cupcakes using a star tip. If you don't have a star tip, you can use a spoon to spread the frosting on the cupcakes.

Conclusion

These cranberry cupcakes with dulce de leche pecan frosting are a delicious and festive treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. The combination of tart cranberries, sweet dulce de leche, and crunchy pecans is sure to please everyone.
