For my little girls Birthday I made some delicious Chocolate Malt Cupcakes with Malt frosting.
They were pretty much amazing.
Malt Cupcakes
2 cups flour
2 cups sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 cup malt milk powder
6 oz unsweetened chocolate chopped
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1/4 cup canola oil
1/34 cups whole milk
3 eggs (at room temperature)
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 350. add all dry ingredients together, using your hands to make sure everything is mixed well. Melt the chocolate and butter. once melted remove from heat and add oil until uniform. scrape the chocolate mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients and one cup milk, blend with paddle attachment on low speed for 1 minute. stop and mix in the rest of the milk, eggs, vanilla. Mix until well combined
pour batter into cupcake pan and bake until firm on top, about 20-25 minutes.
Cool and frost.
Malt Frosting 12 oz milk chocolate
1 cup malt milk powder
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup unsalted butter at room temperature.
put chocolate into mixing bowl. Put malted milk powder in small saucepan and mix in cream slowly to avoid lumps. put over medium heat until cream begins to bubble. Pour cream over chocolate, place plastic wrap (I used a plate) over bowl for 5 minutes. begin to whisk the mixture until smooth and glossy. put in the fridge for 2 hours. After 2 hours remove and beat the butter into the frosting, once all the butter has been added mix until thick and creamy.
Seriously they are AMAZING!
