Easter: Surprise Cupcakes




Source of Recipe

List of Ingredients




2/3 cup butter, softened

1 cup light brown sugar, firmly packed

3/4 cup granulated sugar

2 eggs

1 tsp vanilla extract

2¾ cups all-purpose flour

2½ tsp baking powder

1 tsp salt

1¼ cups milk

24 unwrapped small chocolate eggs

Domino Flavored Confectioners Sugar to make lemon, chocolate or strawberry frosting



Recipe



To make cupcakes: Heat oven to 350º. Grease 24 medium muffin tines or line with paper baking cups. Mix butter, sugars, eggs and vanilla extract in large mixing bowl until blended. Beat on high speed, scraping bowl occasionally, 5 minutes. On low speed, beat in flour, baking powder, and salt alternately with milk. To hide surprise: Fill muffin cups 1/3 full and place an UNWRAPPED chocolate egg in center of each. Top with remaining batter, until 2/3 full. Bake 18 to 20 minutes or until top springs back when touched. Cool. Decorate as desired using flavored frostings.

Tips: Use coconut coloring with food coloring, small jelly beans and sprinkles in pastel colors for great Holiday effects. Make a handle with licorice strings for small Easter baskets.
