Joeys Mini Cupcakes Recipes

JOEY'S MINI CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease or line 44 miniature muffin cups with paper liners.
• Beat cream cheese, 1/2 cup sugar, egg, and 1/8 teaspoon salt together in a bowl until filling is smooth; fold in chocolate chips.
• Sift flour, 1 cup sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt together in a bowl. Beat water, vegetable oil, vinegar, and vanilla extract into flour mixture until batter is evenly mixed. Fill muffin cups 1/3-full with batter; top each with about 1 teaspoon cream cheese filling. Sprinkle cupcakes with remaining 2 tablespoons sugar.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the sides of a cupcake come out clean, 30 to 35 minutes.

MINI VANILLA CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 18-cup mini muffin tin or line with cupcake liners.
• Sift flour, baking powder, and salt into a bowl.
• Whip butter and sugar in a separate bowl with an electric mixer until fluffy. Mix in egg and vanilla extract. Add flour mixture and milk; whip until just combined. Fill the prepared muffin cups 3/4 full with batter.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 10 to 14 minutes. Cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely, about 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whip powdered sugar, butter, and vanilla for frosting in a bowl until well combined. Frost cooled cupcakes.

MINI CHOCOLATE CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 16 mini muffin cups with paper liners.
• Mix flour, brown sugar, white sugar, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl. Break up clumps lightly with a whisk.
• Mix milk, egg, oil, and vanilla extract together in a separate bowl until well incorporated. Whisk into the flour mixture until well incorporated and there are no clumps. Do not overmix the batter. Fold in pudding with a spatula while scraping the bottom of the bowl. Stir in chocolate chips; batter will be runny and not very thick.
• Pour batter into the prepared cupcake cups with a Wilton® cookie scoop or measuring cup with a spout, filling each 2/3 full.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean, about 10 minutes.
