Canada Day Cupcakes

Sorry to all my Blogger Friends. June was so busy. So I couldn't really post anything. Today, I found the time and I want to show you my Martha Steward Maple Cupcakes. The cupcake tasted more like a pancake.;-) I removed the top layer of the cupcake and I watered the cupcake with a teaspoon of Maple Sirup. I decorated the cupcake with buttercream and a maple leaf candy which melded over the time and made a nice finish to the cupcake.

Maple Cupcakes Recipe (page 240 in book)
Ingredients for Cupcakes
2-3/4 cups all-purpose flour, sifted
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temp.
2 cups pure maple syrup,, preferably Grade B
3 large eggs, room temp
1 cup milk
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line standard or mini muffin tins with paper liners. Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt.

2. With an electric mixer on medum-high speed, cream butter until smooth. Add the maple syrup, and beat until combined. Add eggs, one at a time, beating until each is incorporated, scraping down sides of bowl as needed. Add flour mixture, and beat well to combine. Beat in milk and vanilla until combined.

3. Divide batter evenly among lined cups, filling each three-quarters full. Bake, rotating tins halfway through, until glden and a cake tester inserted in centers comes out clean, about 20 minutes for standard, 10 to 13 minutes for minis. Transfer tins to wire racks to cool completely before removing cupcakes.

Sorry an alle meine Blogger Freunde. Ich hatte viel zu tun im Juni. Das ist der Grund wieso hier schon eine Weile nicht mehr gepostet wurde. Nun endlich habe ich Zeit und moechte Euch meine Martha Steward Maple Cupcakes zeigen. Die Cupcakes haben mehr nach Pancakes geschmeckt.;-) Ich habe die oeberste Schicht der Cupcakes entfernt und den Cupcake mit ca. 1 Teeloeffel Maple Sirup getraenkt. Danach wurde der Cupcake mit Buttercreme dekoriert und ein Maple Sirup Bonbon darauf gelegt. Das Bonbon ist ueber die Zeit geschmolzen was am Ende einen tollen Effekt ergeben hat.
