Banana-Topped Vanilla Cupcakes


Since I enjoy baking so much, I once again made cupcakes for a lab meeting at work. This recipe comes from my new book Cupcakes (Collection Cuistot), and I found the cupcakes so cute that I had to try it. I really liked the taste of these simple yet adorable cupcakes!

Ingredients for cupcakes:

80 g unsalted butter, at room temperature (RT)
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Ingredients for frosting:

80 g unsalted butter, RT
1 cup icing sugar
2 bananas, sliced
Chocolate, grated
Yellow food coloring

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 325°F. Place muffin liners in miniature cupcake pan.
2. Beat together the butter and brown sugar until mixture is homogenous and fluffy.
3. Add the egg and combine well.
4. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder and salt.
5. Add the flour mixture, milk and vanilla extract to the butter mixture. Mix thoroughly.
6. Fill the 24 muffin cups and bake for 10-15 minutes, until cupcakes are firm to the touch. Let cupcakes cool down before frosting.
8. To make the frosting, beat together the butter and food coloring. Gradually add in the icing sugar until desired consistency is reached.
9. Spread frosting on cupcakes and top with a slice of banana sprinkled with grated chocolate.

Yield: 24 small cupcakes
