Learn How it Works...
Cupcakes
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup sugar
6 tablespoons Land O Lakes® Butter, softened
2 large Land O Lakes® Eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
Frosting
4 cups powdered sugar
2/3 cup Land O Lakes® Butter, softened
3 to 5 tablespoons milk
Food color
Garnish
Candy-coated milk chocolate pieces
Posterboard (14x11-inch) paper
STEP 1
Heat oven to 350°F. Grease and flour 8 (6-ounce) custard cups; set aside.
STEP 2
Combine flour, baking powder and salt in bowl; set aside.
STEP 3
Combine sugar and 6 tablespoons butter in another bowl; beat at medium speed until creamy. Add eggs and vanilla; continue beating until well mixed. Add flour mixture alternately with 1/2 cup milk, beating at low speed after each addition. Stir in chocolate chips.
STEP 4
Divide batter evenly among prepared custard cups. Bake 20-23 minutes or until toothpick inserted near center comes out clean. Cool on wire racks 5 minutes. Loosen edge of cupcake by running knife around inside edge. Carefully remove cupcakes from custard cups. Cool completely.
STEP 5
Combine powdered sugar, 2/3 cup butter and enough milk for desired frosting consistency in bowl. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until smooth and creamy. Reserve 1/2 cup frosting.
STEP 6
Divide remaining frosting into small bowls for as many colors as desired. Stir 1 to 2 drops food color into each bowl; mix well. If necessary, cut top of cupcakes off so surface is flat. Place cupcakes onto serving platter, flat-side down. Frost rounded side of each cupcake with desired color frosting; smooth frosting.
STEP 7
Fit pastry bag with small hole decorator tip; fill with reserved white frosting. Starting at center top of cupcake, pipe five radiating lines over top and down sides of cake (to look like seams in baseball cap). Place 1 candy-coated chocolate piece at center top.
STEP 8
Cut 8 (3 1/2-inch) circles from paper; write names on brims, if desired. Place circles halfway under cupcakes, forming hat brims.
- Use custard cup to draw circles on paper for hat brims.
- Batter can be baked in baking cup-lined muffin pan. Prepare and bake as directed. Remove baking cup liners; frost and decorate as desired. 12 cupcakes
