This was my second go at these. They were great the first time and even better the second time!! Chocolate cupcakes with root beer filling and vanilla butter cream. They are a perfect mix!!
Cupcakes:
1 1/8 cups flour
1/4 cup dark cocoa powder
1 1/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup melted butter
2 tbsp sour cream
1 tsp root beer extract
1/3 cup root beer
It is honestly easier to hand mix this recipe.
In a separate bowl combine dry ingredients. Flour, cocoa powder, soda, and salt.
In another bowl combine egg and sugar, mix completely. Add cream, butter, and vanilla. stir in sour cream. Add dry ingredients. Mix well. Last add the root beer extract and the root beer. Mix together. Bake 350 for 15 mins.
Vanilla butter cream/root beer filling
3 sticks butter
6 cups powdered sugar
1 tbsp vanilla
3 tbsp heavy cream
1/2 tsp root beer extract
In a mixer combine first 4 ingredients and set 2/3 of it aside. In the remaining butter cream mix in the root beer extract. Using a piping tip fill center of each cupcake with root beer butter cream. Frost top of cupcakes with vanilla butter cream. Top each one off with a small amount of root beer butter cream.
Yields 12 cupcakes
