Winter Cupcakes with Snow Frosting Recipe

Winter cupcakes are ideal for the holiday season. The white chocolate chips add sweetness, and the snow frosting gives them a wintery appearance. They are simple to prepare and ideal for sharing with friends and family.

Ingredients

1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 cup heavy cream
Two large eggs
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup shredded coconut
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup white chocolate chips
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking soda

Time Needed

Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 35 minutes

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, beating thoroughly after each addition.
Incorporate the vanilla extract.
Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture gradually, alternating with the milk, and mixing until just combined.
Incorporate the white chocolate chips.
Prepare a muffin pan with paper liners.
Fill each liner two-thirds full with batter.
Bake the cupcakes for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean.
Cool for 5 minutes in the pan before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over low heat until it begins to simmer.
Remove from the heat and smooth in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract.
Allow 5 minutes for the frosting to cool.
Dip the cupcake tops in the frosting, allowing any excess to drip off.
To make snow, sprinkle shredded coconut on top of the frosting.
