These are M&M cupcakes – based on the recipe from Starry Moon Cupcakes.
I’m getting the hang of this cupcake thing – this mixture turned out a little stiff, and I ended up with small cupcakes and a LOT of icing. Still tasty. VERY sweet.
M&M cupcakes
2 cups of flour
1/3 cup sugar
1/3 brown sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup melted butter (about 90g)
2/3 cup milk
2 free range eggs slightly beaten
1 teaspoon of vanilla
baking M&Ms (I added a slightly random amount)
Sift all dry ingredients into a bowl, stir to combine.
In a separate bowl combine melted butter, milk, eggs and vanilla.
Pour into the dry mix, stir till combined, then add your M&Ms.
Bake at 180 degrees for 15 minutes or until skewer is clean.
Butter Cream Frosting
200gm butter at room temp
3 cups icing sugar
2-3 Tbsp milk
1 tsp vanilla essence
Cream the butter, sift in the icing sugar, mix well. Add essence, then just enough milk to get the right consistency (I didn’t add enough). Top with regular M&Ms.
