Cooking with Kids: Banana Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting
Cupcake Ingredients:
In a bowl, using an electic mixer on medium-high speed, beat together cream cheese, butter and salt until creamy. With mixer on low speed, beat in confectioner’s sugar, 1/2 cup at a time so that sugar doesn’t fly all over the place. Increase speed to medium-high and beat until light and fluffy. Spread frosting over cooled cupcakes and refrigerate until ready to serve or for up to 1 day.
Note: I cut the frosting recipe in 1/2 and had just enough to cover the 12 cupcakes above. The full recipe will give you about 2 cups of frosting. This can be stored in the fridge up to 3 days. Before using, let stand at room temperature for about 15 minutes to soften enough to spread.
The sweet frosting combined with the taste of banana was a sure fire hit with my kids. :0) And it was kind of weird but the more of these I had, the more I like them. It definately has the makings of an addiction. Next time, I need to try it with caramel frosting. Oh, yeah, baby!
I give this recipe 8 chips out of a bag of 10.
