Cream cheese frosting may seem like an unlikely partner for a jalapeno and cornmeal cupcake, but our home economists guarantee the treats are sure to please! Ingredients:
1-1/4 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1 cup sugar |
1/2 cup cornmeal |
2 teaspoons baking powder |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
2 eggs |
1/2 cup 2% milk |
1/2 cup olive oil |
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract |
3/4 cup frozen corn, thawed |
2 tablespoons finely chopped seeded jalapeno pepper |

1/4 cup panko (japanese) bread crumbs |
4 ounces cream cheese, softened |
1/4 cup butter, softened |
1-3/4 cups confectioners' sugar |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
sliced jalapeno peppers |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cornmeal, baking powder and salt. In another bowl, combine the eggs, milk, oil and vanilla. Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Fold in corn and jalapeno.
2. Fill greased or paper-lined muffin cups three-fourths full. Bake at 350° for 24-28 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in cupcake comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack to cool completely.
