Everyone in my family loves cupcakes, so I experimented to create these cupcakes that fit my family's tastes. I also tried to make them healthier. I hope you enjoy them as much as we do! Ingredients:
1 cup sugar |
1 cup buttermilk |
1/4 cup canola oil |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1-1/2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1/3 cup baking cocoa |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
filling: |
6 ounces fat-free cream cheese |
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar |
1 egg |
2 snickers candy bars (2.07 ounces each), finely chopped |
frosting: |
1/3 cup butter, cubed |
1/3 cup packed brown sugar |
3 tablespoons fat-free milk |
1-1/2 cups confectioners' sugar |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, beat the sugar, buttermilk, oil and vanilla until well blended. Combine the flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt; gradually beat into sugar mixture until blended.
2. For filling, in a small bowl, beat cream cheese and confectioners' sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg; mix well. Stir in the candy bars.
3. Fill paper-lined muffin cups one-third full with batter. Drop filling by tablespoonfuls into the center of each cupcake (cups will be about half full). Bake at 350° for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the filling comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely.
4. For frosting, in a small saucepan, melt butter. Stir in brown sugar. Bring to a boil; cook for two minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat; stir in the milk, then confectioners' sugar. Cool until frosting reaches spreading consistency. Frost cupcakes. Yield: 1-1/2 dozen.
