Hi Guys,
I am OBSESSED with the Hummingbird Bakery and dare I say it, I think its the best Bakery I have ever been to! I have collected quite a few of their books and if I had the time I'd be making all their recipes constantly! So when I was having a flick through the books and spotted this Candy Cane Cupcake Recipe, I just had to give it a go and thought I'd share it with you too! Also after a lot of requests to do it too, between the votes for the Snickerdoodles - HERE and this!
For the sponge: Forthe frosting:
80g Softened UnsaltedButter 500g Icing Sugar
280g Caster Sugar 160g Softened UnsaltedButter
240g Plain Flour 4 tsp PeppermintEssence
1 tbsp Baking Powder 50ml Whole Milk
1/4 tsp Salt 2-3 tsp Red Liquid Food Colouring
240ml Whole Milk Transparent Sugar forSprinkling
1 tsp Vanilla Essence
2 Large Eggs
1. Line your muffin tin, this recipe makes 12-16 Cupcakes. Preheat your oven to 190c / 375F / Gas Mark 5.
2. Either using an electric whisk or electric mixer with a paddle, slowly whisk together the butter, sugar, salt, baking powder and flour, until it looks like fine breadcrumbs.
3. In a jug combine the vanilla essence and the milk, add the eggs and whisk by hand. Pour three quarters of the milk/egg mixture into your dry ingredients, mixing on a slow speed. Increase the speed to medium until the mixture is thick but smooth. Add the remaining liquid mixture to the batter until its smooth.
4. Fill the cases two thirds up with the batter and bake them for 18 to 20 minutes.
5. Again using your electric mixer, beat together the icing sugar, butter and peppermint essence on a slow speed, until the mixture looks like sand with no big lumps.
6. Slowly add the milk and slowly mix together, once it is combined you can increase to a medium speed until its light and fluffy. You can then divide the mixture into two and add the red food colouring to one half.
7. Using a piping bag or make a makeshift one with a plastic food bag, add the two mixtures so they're next to each other and not on top of each other, pipe it onto your cool cupcakes like an ice cream spiral, then finally sprinkle on your sugar!
