Valentine's Day is just around the corner! Need a sweet treat for your "special ones"?? Well check out this tasty Valentine treat from Six Sisters Stuff.
Valentine Neapolitan Cupcakes
- 1 (19.5 ounce) package brownie mix
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil (you could also use canola oil)
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 (18.25 ounce) package strawberry cake mix (or any flavor you want)
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (you could also use canola oil)
- 1 1/3 cups water
- 3 egg whites
Directions:
- Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 40-48 muffin cups with paper liners (I only got about 40 cupcakes, but you may get more).
- Whisk together the brownie mix, 2 eggs, 1/2 cup canola oil, and 1/4 cup water in a bowl. Stir just until fully incorporated, about 50 strokes; set aside.
- Mix the cake mix, 2 tablespoons canola oil, 1 1/3 cup water, and 3 egg whites in a large bowl with an electric mixer on low speed until combined. Mix on medium speed for 2 minutes.
- Spoon the brownie batter into prepared muffin cups, filling each cup 1/3 full. Spoon the cake batter over the brownie batter, until muffin cups are each 2/3 full.
- Bake in the preheated oven until golden and the tops spring back when lightly pressed, about 20 minutes.
Buttercream Icing:
- 1/2 cup solid vegetable shortening
- 1/2 cup butter or margarine
- 4 cups (1 lb) sifted confectioners sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 tsp vanilla
- Food coloring (if you want pink add 4 drops of red food coloring to the icing)
Cream butter and shortening with electric mixer. Add vanilla. Gradually add sugar, one cup at a time, beating well on medium speed. Scrape sides and bottom of bowl often. When all sugar has been mixed in, icing will appear dry. Add milk and beat at a medium speed until light and fluffy.
If you need to thin this icing, add a small amount of light corn syrup.
For best results, keep icing bowl in refrigerator when not in use. It can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks. Rewhip before using. Yields 3 cups.
