Moist Chocolate Banana Whole Wheat Cupcakes

Sat, 14 Mar 2009 13:50:48 -0400

This recipe is a healthy choice because of the Whole Wheat Flour and it has less sugar than the average cupcake recipe. The Cocoa makes it chocolatey but doesn't mask the banana flavour. You can also add 1/2 cup of chocolate chips and/or nuts! Don't tell your kids these are healthy, whole-wheat and low in sugar...they'll NEVER know! :o) -- posted by Emmy's Mum

Portillo's Chocolate Cake

Sat, 28 Mar 2009 16:54:38 -0400

Careful... this one causes cravings! This cake recipe is super light, moist, and not too sweet. It is a perfect base to dump the best frosting, fudge, or chocolate all over it. It makes great cupcakes too! The recipe was labeled as a copycat for Portillo's (this ones all over the net so I can't credit anyone). Whether it is a good copy I'm not sure... but it makes a darn good cake. -- posted by xDAVEx

Vanilla Bean Cupcakes

Sat, 16 May 2009 10:41:52 -0400

Credited to Sarah Howard- printed on May 12 edition of Creative Loafing. This cake calls for whole eggs along with an equal ratio of egg whites to keep it light and fluffy, and maintain the pure color. The use of the vanilla bean makes a big difference in the fragrance and overall taste of the cake as well, so go ahead and splurge in the spice aisle. After you're done scraping out the tiny seeds, throw the pod into a mason jar with baker's sugar, keep it in the cupboard and use the vanilla-infused sweetness to add an extra dimnsion to your recipes. -- posted by Sparkmonkey

I used a #7 tip to pipe on the spaghetti but you can use a Ziploc and snip off a corner if the other isn't available.

Mon, 12 Oct 2009 17:58:57 -0400

Usually this includes a lot of additional eggs, sugar and butter but no flour - which makes it good as well but somewhat richer. I changed the recipe as i could not be bothered to whip the egg whites and care for the batter to cool down in order to add the yolks. So i went for a little four instead and gave it a try. What a treat! I love it! It is just too easy to be good :-) Enjoy with vanilla icecream. Note: You can use any chocolate you like but i recomend good quality chocolate with at leat 60% cacao. -- posted by Iceland

Perfect Cake-Mix Cupcakes

Thu, 26 Nov 2009 23:48:16 -0500

This recipe is from the book "Hello, Cupcake!" by Karen Tack and Alan Richardson. You may have seen this pair on Paula Deen's cooking show. They did not merely frost their cupcakes, they decorated 3 of them to look like a Thanksgiving dinner: the turkey, the mashed potatoes and gravy, and the carrots and peas. They commented at the time that they always use buttermilk rather than the water called for on the box, to give their cupcakes a fresher, more homemade flavor. They also used more eggs than called for on the box to give the cupcakes a firmer structure that can stand up to more decorating without tearing. Cupcakes made this way may be made a day ahead as they stay moist if wrapped in plastic. They also suggested that you use cake mixes for cupcakes that do not have pudding in the mix and avoid lighter cake mixes (such as angel food) which would not hold up when decorated. Using these hints, they baked cupcakes that Paula Deen just raved over!! -- posted by Lorraine of AZ

Amazingly Easy & Delicious Buttery Frosting!

Sun, 03 Jan 2010 16:50:46 -0500

I found the basis for this frosting through another members post. (Recipe #41923) I tweaked it to make it what I wanted that day, but it is so easily changed to make the smoothest, creamiest, buttery frosting I have ever had! And its EASY!!!! The first time I made it I added a tsp of coconut extract and after it was all mixed up I folded in a 1/2 cup of flaked coconut. It was a HIT!!! You won't regret trying this recipe! -- posted by ShayLyne81

I have been searching for the perfect vanilla cupcake recipe for a long time, and I've found that most of them are dense and dry. I finally changed a recipe and it makes the perfect vanilla cupcakes that are moist and not dense. You can frost these cupcakes with many different types of frosting like vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, and more. -- posted by Cupcake-Princess
