‘Tis the season of maple, so I made a batch maple syrup cupcakes! A warning though, maple syrup makes for very sweet cupcakes so prepare a big glass of milk to drink with it. Without further ado, here is the recipe.
Ingredients – cake:
1/2 cup of butter (1 stick)
1 cup of finely granulated sugar
2 eggs
1/2 cup of maple syrup
1 tsp of vanilla
2 1/2 cup of flour
1/4 tsp of baking powder
1/4 tsp of baking soda
2 tbs of milk
Ingredients – icing:
1/4 + 2tbs of maple syrup
1/4 + 2tbs of butter (3/4 of a stick)
2 cups of icing sugar
Preparation – cake:
beat the butter until soft
add the sugar to the butter and beat
add the eggs one at a time and beat beat between each addition
add the maple syrup and vanilla and mix together
add the flour, baking podia and baking soda alternating with the milk
line a muffin/cupcake pan with paper cups
pour the cake mixture in and bake at 350 for 22 minutes
once baked, let them cool completely before icing
Preparation – icing:
beat the butter until soft
sift the icing sugar and beat with the butter
add the maple syrup and mix until even
here you can add some food colouring. I added a drop of red and a drop of yellow to get it closer to maple syrup colour since I found it to still be to much of a butter colour.
Enjoy :)
