EASTER SURPRISE CUPCAKES
Steps:
- To make cupcakes: Heat oven to 350°. Grease 24 medium muffin tins or line with paper baking cups. Mix butter, sugars, eggs and extract in large mixing bowl until blended. Beat on high speed, scraping bowl occasionally, 5 minutes. On low speed, beat in flour, baking powder and salt alternately with milk. To hide surprise: Fill muffin cups one-third full and place unwrapped chocolate egg in center of each. Top with remaining batter, until two-thirds full. Bake 18-20 minutes or until top springs back when touched. Cool. To decorate: Use flavored confectioners' sugar to make lemon, chocolate or strawberry frostings. Decorate as desired.
Tips:
- Choose the right cupcake base recipe: Opt for a moist and fluffy base that can handle the weight of the frosting and decorations.
- Make sure your oven temperature is accurate: Using an oven thermometer to ensure the correct temperature is crucial for even baking and preventing dry or undercooked cupcakes.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in dense and tough cupcakes. Mix just until the ingredients are well combined.
- Fill the cupcake liners properly: Fill each liner about 2/3 full to allow for expansion during baking and prevent overflowing.
- Cool the cupcakes completely before decorating: This will prevent the frosting from melting and sliding off the cupcakes.
- Use a piping bag or ziplock bag with a small tip for frosting: This allows for precise and even application of frosting.
- Get creative with your decorations: Use sprinkles, candies, chocolate chips, or fondant to add a festive touch to your Easter cupcakes.
Conclusion:
With careful preparation, attention to detail, and a touch of creativity, you can create delightful and visually appealing Easter cupcakes that will impress your family and friends. Remember to have fun and enjoy the baking process, and don't be afraid to experiment with different flavors and decorations to find your perfect Easter cupcake recipe.
