Cupcat Cupcakes

So: it's a lazy Saturday and I got a little bored and decided cupcakes were an excellent outlet. Thus the cupcat  cupcakes were forged in the kitchen of deliciousness! They're nothing too fancy, but they're yummy, and with a turtle center how could they not be?

So enough with the formalities, lets get baking!!!

What you're gonna need:   (This makes 12 cupcakes)

1¼   cup    Flour
 ¼    cup    Cocoa powder
 ½    tsp     Baking soda
 ¼    tsp     Salt
 ½    cup    Butter
 1     cup    Sugar
 2       -      Eggs
 ½    cup    Sour cream
 ¼    cup    Milk
 1     tsp     Vanilla extract
 12      -      Turtles

How to get Yummy:  Preheat oven to 350° F

1)  In a bowl mix flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt together and set aside
2)  Cream the butter and sugar together
3)  Beat in the eggs, one at a time
4)  Mix in the sour cream, milk and vanilla
5)  Gradually beat in the flour mixture
6)  Once everything is well mixed, spoon the batter in to the muffin pan. Only fill it ¼ of the way.
7)  Place a turtle into each muffin cup and cover each one with  the remaining batter
8)  Bake in the oven for 20- 25 minutes

I just did a simple butter cream icing for my cupcakes. Here's the recipe for that too:

½    cup   Butter
½    tsp    Vanilla extract
2     cup   Icing sugar
1     tbsp  Milk

1)  Beat the butter and vanilla together
2)  Add in the sugar and milk, and beat until smooth (and a few drops of food colouring if you so choose)
3)  Spoon into a piping bag  and have fun


Happy eating!
