These vanilla cuppies are stuffed with some mini Reese peanut buttercup candies, topped with a dusting of snow powder and yet another candy. The cake is soft, moist and delicious with a slight tinge of salty peanut butter and chocolate. A good party treat for kids!
Recipe for Vanilla Cupcake with Peanut Buttercup Candies ~ 巧克力花生杯子蛋糕
Ingredients
140 gm plain flour
2 large eggs
120 gm caster sugar
80 ml canola/corn oil
3/4 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
a pinch of salt
2 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup buttermilk (milk + 1 tsp lemon juice/vinegar to make up 1/2 cup)
Reese mini peanut buttercup candies
Snow powder/icing sugar and candies for decoration (optional)
Method
Sieve plain flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt into a mixing bowl, set aside.
Beat eggs, oil, sugar and vanilla on low speed to medium, till smooth.
Pour half wet ingredients into dry ingredients, mix well with a ball whisk.
Mix in half buttermilk.
Repeat steps 3 & 4 till just combined. Do not overmix. Batter is thin and runny.
Scoop 1/2 batter into paper lined muffin pan, toss in 3 mini peanut buttercup candies, then cover with batter till 3/4 full. (I used an ice cream scoop).
Bake in a preheated oven @ 180 deg.C for 20 mins., test with a skewer till it comes out clean.
