Elvis lives in a cupcake! Our Test Kitchen took the King of Rock's favorite flavors and rolled them into a banana cupcake frosted with peanut butter and kissed by chocolate. Ingredients:
1-1/3 cups mashed ripe bananas (about 3 medium) |
1 cup mayonnaise |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
3/4 cup sugar |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
18 milk chocolate kisses |
peanut butter frosting: |
1/3 cup creamy peanut butter |
2 cups confectioners' sugar |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
3 to 4 tablespoons milk |
milk chocolate chips, optional |
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, combine the bananas, mayonnaise and vanilla until well blended. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking soda and salt; gradually beat into banana mixture until blended.
2. Spoon 1 tablespoon of batter into each paper-lined muffin cup. Top each with a chocolate kiss, pointed side down. Fill cups two-thirds full with remaining batter.
3. Bake at 350° for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely.
4. In a large bowl, combine the peanut butter, confectioners' sugar, vanilla and enough milk to achieve spreading consistency. Frost cupcakes. Garnish with chocolate chips if desired. Yield: 1-1/2 dozen.
