‘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 :)
Yummmm!
What are the little crystals on the icing?
I am thinking about making this recipe actually…how many cupcakes do you end up with?
Merci ma soeur!

Oh I forgot to say! It made 12 cupcakes and the little crystals are crystallized sugar that I bought at William-Sonoma (http://www.williams-sonoma.ca and http://www.williams-sonoma.com)

Tes cup-cakes ont vraiment l’air délicieux… Mais ils sont aussi très BEAUX . Cette semaine, le glaçage est très attirant. Tes photos sont dignes d’un vrai livre de recettes. J’ai hâte de retourner à Vancouver pour en manger…
Merci, je commence a trouver mon style pour le look de mes cupcakes. Tout ce que je peux dire c’est que prendre une éternité pour étendre du nutella sur mes toast le matin pendant des années m’a enfin servi à quelque chose ;)

hahaha! Le Nutella comme école! J’adore! :)
Ouiiiiiii le Nutella…. et aussi le verre de lait…. Là j’ai une p’tite nostalgie, ça me prendrait un cup-cake pour me réconforter.
