Easter cupcakes… take 1

Well, I hope everyone had a nice Easter celebration today. We really had more of a celebration yesterday. Brett’s mom’s aunt, who was like a mother to her, invited the 3 of us to her house for a celebration-of-sorts. Her two kids and 5 grandchildren were headed there for what seems to be an annual tradition. There was lots of eggs to be colored (I think 5 dozen), then there was an egg hunt, and lots of playing inside and out. Madeline and Aleah, Aunt Pat’s 3 1/2 year old granddaughter, were like two peas in a pod. They’ve met and played together a few times and always have fun. It was a super long day, topped with delicious fajitas that were well worth the wait for. We had a lot of laughs and a wonderful time. It was so nice to be around such wonderful people. Brett and I felt like we’d been going there for years.

Anyway, in honor of Easter (and baking all things yummy), I decided on two kinds of cupcakes this year – the first is below. The second, I think I’ll post in the morning, since it’s already almost midnight and I’m tired.

So, here you go:

Adorable green liners courtesy of the faboosh Lyns at Sweet Cuppin’ Cakes

Banana cupcakes with Cinnamon-Honey Buttercream.

For the cupcakes:
1 1/2 cups flour
3/4 granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 1/2 cups mashed bananas (about 4)
2 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the frosting:
1 1/4 cups confectioners sugar (I used about 1 3/4 cups)
1/2 cup butter, room temperature
1 tablespoon honey
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

1. To make the cupcakes, preheat oven to 350°F. Fill a muffin tin with paper liners. In a medium bowl combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add in the butter, bananas, eggs, and vanilla and mix well. Divide batter evenly between the muffin cups. Bake until a toothpick comes out clean, about 25-30 minutes. Remove from pan and cool completely.

2. To make the frosting, beat all ingredients in a medium bowl with an electric mixer until smooth.

3. Spread the tops of cupcakes with the frosting and serve.

**Ok, so here’s my edits. First of all, this recipe says 12 cupcakes. Well, yes, 12, but they were HUGE. I mean the rise on them was RI-dic. I filled them around 3/4 and they blew right up…I’d suggest filling them halfway, which means you’ll probably get 15 or so cupcakes. Also, they’re a bit dense, but maybe I wouldn’t think so if they were smaller.

By the way, that icing? Beyond delicious. It was sweet and tasty and paired amazingly with the cupcake.
I tinted the frosting with Wilton’sRose Pink tint and used a 22 tip.

So now that you’ve seen the cupcakes, here’s some snapshots of our “Easter” Saturday. Stay tuned tomorrow for the follow up of today’s activities and the second cupcake recipe. Enjoy!!
