These cupcakes from Your Cup of Cake just might be better than pineapple upside down cake. Maybe. These have cream cheese frosting while the others have brown sugar goodness. It might just be a toss up. Pineapple Cream Cupcakes Ingredients Pineapple Cake: 1 box yellow cake mix 1/3 C. melted butter, cooled 3 eggs 1…

Blueberry Lemon Cupcakes
Lemon cake with fresh blueberries, topped off with white chocolate cream cheese frosting. Oh my. These cupcakes scream summer! The photo shows garnish of sugared blueberries (does it get any better than that?) and Southern Boy Dishes prepared these by lightly beating 2 egg whites, then dip the blueberries in the egg, and roll in sugar. Place…
Vanilla Cupcakes with Mango Ginger Curd Filling
I will have to admit that this recipe from Eats Well With Others is a little out of my cupcake comfort zone. I tend to be more of a “traditionalist” but maybe I should try these to expand my cupcake horizons. Vanilla Buttermilk Cupcakes Makes 16-24 (I got 18) Ingredients 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour…
Banana Split Cupcakes
Normally, I am a soft serve chocolate ice cream kind of girl. But there is an ice cream place near where I grew up that has the very, very best soft ice cream I have ever had. Ever. When I go “home” to visit family, I usually finagle a way for us all to go…
Double Chocolate Peanut Butter Cupcakes
What’s better than a peanut butter cup? Besides not much of anything, it would be these cupcakes from Your Cup of Cake which are sort of like peanut butter cups in cupcake form. Rich, chocolate cupcake, then a layer of chocolate & peanut butter ganache, topped off with chocolate peanut butter buttercream frosting. Easy to…
Blueberry Cream Cheese Cupcakes
I absolutely love blueberries and wish the season lasted longer than it does. Seems like by the time I realize it is blueberry season it is already over. For some reason, I think fresh blueberries taste even better when in a cake or muffin. This recipe from Pastry Affair adds a cream cheese frosting to add…
Gluten Free Strawberry Shortcake Cupcakes
Most of the gluten free baking recipes I have seen have a complicated list of ingredients. This recipe from Against all Grain uses only almond flour, honey and coconut oil along with fresh strawberries. The frosting is an Italian meringue made from egg white and honey. Fresh strawberries can be used in the frosting as well….
Chocolate Salted Caramel Mini Cupcakes
What could be more decadent than dark chocolate cake with caramel in the middle? I can’t seem to think of anything right now, mainly because I am thinking ONLY of these cupcakes. Rich Chocolate and Salted Caramel. The End. Thank you Bake or Break! Chocolate Salted Caramel Mini Cupcakes Prep Time: 45 minutes Cook Time: 30…
Root Beer Float Cupcakes
I do believe summer has arrived! Well, in most parts of the US anyway. I vaguely recall seeing snow, horrible amounts of snow, blanketing certain northern parts of the country. No thank you. But today we are going to believe it is summer and have a root beer float. Oh yes, in a cupcake! Chocolatey…
Mocha Chocolate Chip Espresso Cupcakes
My favorite chocolate cake recipe has coffee as an ingredient which makes for a dark, rich tasting cake. But this recipe from Cake Merchant kicks it up a notch by using coffee extract in the cake AND in the frosting. Now this is a cupcake for coffee lovers! Mocha Chocolate Chip Espresso Cupcakes Yield: 11-12 cupcakes…
Cantaloupe Cupcakes
Yes, as in the fruit. Aren’t they pretty? I am a huge fan of cantaloupe and eat it nearly year round but never thought to use it – and cottage cheese – in a cupcake recipe. Every now and again I like to post something a little different and this definitely counts. It almost…
Banana Cupcakes with Chocolate Peanut Butter Icing
And…and…a surprise chocolate peanut butter center. I love surprises, don’t you? I have always put peanut butter on a banana. Always. Some people may find that odd, but it’s just the way that bananas are meant to be eaten. Sort of like how chocolate tastes better with peanut butter. Which leads us to an almost…
