Cannoli Cupcakes

 

Cupcake Recipe 

 

WHAT I USED:

 

I used the recipe from CookingClassy.com and I got

all my ingredients from Tops Friendly Markets.

 

I made a double batch so this is what I used:

Batter

3 cups all-purpose flour

3 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

2 cups granulated sugar

1cup salted butter, at room temperature

4 large eggs

3 tsp vanilla extract

1 cup sour cream 

Cannoli Filling 

1&1/3 cups Mascarpone cheese

1&1/3 cup Ricotta cheese, strained slightly*

10 Tbsp powdered sugar - but I added two extra Tbsp! 

Whipped Cream Topping 

3 cups heavy cream

1 cup powdered sugar

4 Tbsp cocoa powder

1 tsp vanilla extract

6 Tbsp mini semi-sweet chocolate chips, for garnish (I used them in the cannoli filling instead)

MY FEELINGS:

I'm not sure how I liked these but I thought they were alright.

For some reason, after making the batter, it was ridiculously thick and

it didn't look like cake batter. I was dumb enough to use it and they cooked ten less

minutes than they were supposed to. That scared me because I knew they wouldn't come

out right. They were okay but I don't know where I went wrong with

them being so dry. They did take a while too so it was kind

of annoying how long they took just to prepare the whole thing. Overall, 

they were okay. Not great, not bad. I don't think I'd totally recommend them though,

1 thump up, 1 thumb down.

CLASS FEELINGS:

"My favorite batch yet! Loved the frosting"

"So yummy! Loved the chocolate on top :)"

"They were fantastic!!"

"I liked the frosting a lot. I had a weird consistency though."

"The bottom is too dry, and the frosting is too wet. Get it together."

 

CLASS AVERAGE RATING:

 13.7/10

WOW.

CUPCAKE FOR NEXT CLASS...

Brownie Cupcake with Cookie Dough Frosting

I am excited for this one but I am going to alter the recipe a bit.

I am going to use box brownie mix but I will use the frosting recipe.
