The thought behind this recipe got here from that field of Fortunate Charms all of us grew up consuming. I wished to make use of the marshmallows to make these candy vanilla cupcakes CUTE, and naturally enjoyable, for St. Patrick’s Day subsequent week.

Particulars

Begin with the cupcake. That is the right gentle and fluffy vanilla cupcake. You want all of the usuals: candy butter, sugar, flour baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Then after all eggs. Oh, and this recipe makes use of milk too.

Beat the butter with the sugar, then add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. This recipe is exclusive in that we’re not beating the butter with the sugar, then including moist substances after which dry. We’re mixing the butter and flour first, then including within the moist substances.

It’s this course of that provides you such a light-weight cupcake.

As soon as the flour is combined in, combine the milk with the vanilla, then add this to the flour. Subsequent add within the eggs, ensuring to beat them in one by one. End with both Greek yogurt or bitter cream, however I exploit yogurt.

Whereas the cupcakes bake, you can also make the frosting.

That is the right frosting for these cupcakes. It’s candy, however not too candy, and the wealthy, gentle flavors of caramel pair so properly with the vanilla cupcake.

The brown sugar melts down including hints of heat molasses and actually deepens the flavour to create a frosting that’s completely wealthy and caramel-like. And if you add a contact of vanilla and sea salt? Effectively, it’s exhausting to say no to a second cupcake. 

Frost every cupcake after which use your fingers to calmly crush your favourite Fortunate Charms marshmallows over high. If you wish to get fancy, I like so as to add a number of items of edible gold leaf too. I ordered mine on Amazon, it’s at all times so enjoyable after I get to make use of them!
