BISCOFF CUPCAKES KEY INGREDIENTS AND SUBSTITUTIONS
BISCOFF COOKIES. These are the type of cookie that makes up cookie butter but you can replace these with any cookie you desire.
COOKIE BUTTER. you can find this near the peanutbutter secion in the store. It is basically ground up ccokies in a spreadable paste. Its amazing! you can use any brand cookie butter. It is also sometimes called Speculaas.
BUTTERMILK. This makes for a super moist cupcake! You can replace this wth sour cream if needed.
OIL. I use a flavorless vegetable oil but you can also use canola oil. I use a combo of butter and oil to add add moisture to the cake but provide the perfect texture.
BUTTER. I use a combo of butter and oil to add add moisture to the cake but provide the perfect texture.
BOILING WATER. This is key! I add this because it makes the cake softer and fluffy. It also enhances the flavor of the cake. Adding boiling water into the cake mix also prolongs the life of the cake.
BAKING TIPS
- when baking all my cupcakes and muffin recipes i alway use this baking tip… I start by baking them at 425 degrees for the first 5 minutes. This high intensity of heat helps create a burst in the rising. Then I change the oven temperature to 350 degrees for 20 more minutes (without opening up the oven) to bake the centers. This always gives me the best high rise cupcakes/ muffins.
- Use a combination of both oil and butter! I like the oil because it has a higher fat content so it adds more moisture to your cake. But the butter gives the best tender texture/ crumb
- Add boiling water to your batter! This makes your cupcake more soft and fluffy, enhances the flavor, and prolongs the shelf life of your cake.
- Fill your cupcake liners to the top. I use to think I needed to leave a ¼ inch of space for growth, but not needed. Fill them to the top and you will get the best tallest cupcakes.
FAQ
Can I use any kind of cookie? Yes you can! get creative...You can try chips aohy, Nilla waffers, oreos ect.
Can I make these ahead of time? Yes I recommend making the batter, filling and buttercream ahead of time and store them all on air tight plastic baggies in the fridge over night and then bake/ assemble them day of
STORING AND FREEZING
These cup cakes last about 3-5 days in the fridge. wrap each cupcake in plastic wrap and then place in an air tight container and store in the fridge. You can also store in the freezer for up to one month.
