Reese's Cup Vanilla Cupcakes

Delectable dessert for any occasion.

These are really easy and cute.

I made only 6 but in the photo there is 5 because the birthday guy ate one aka my husband.

So the recipe that I have is only for 6.

The inspiration for the vanilla cupcake itself was from Food Network Vanilla Cupcake Recipe

Ingredients:
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
5/8 teaspoons baking powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 stick unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup of sugar
1 large egg, at room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/3 cup whole milk, at room temperature

Filling and Topping: Reese's cups (I had some at home, but you can buy the small packs from any grocery store my bag had 9 pieces total - perfect for this recipe)

For Frosting, I used some leftover custard, Here is the Custard Recipe

INSTRUCTIONS:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Line a 12-cup muffin pan with only 6 paper liners. If you see the photo below, I just used the center part of the pan.

Whisk the flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl.

Beat the butter and sugar in another bowl. The recipe calls for a stand mixer with a certain attachment, I used a hand mixer with whisk attachments on medium-high speed until fluffy.

Beat in the egg and scrape down the bowl as needed.

Beat in the vanilla.

Reduce the mixer speed to medium low.

Beat in half of the flour then the milk, then the remaining flour mixture until just combined.

Divide the batter among the muffin cups, filling each three-quarters full.

Then take six of of the 9 pieces of reese's and put them in the middle of each of the cupcake batter.

Then cover it up.

Bake the cupcakes for 18 to 20 minutes.
Half way through, rotate the pan.

When a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean, then they are done.

Take the cup cakes out and let it cool for 5 minutes or more,

Remove them and place them on a plate and top with large tablespoon of custard. Make sure the custard does not drip down the sides.

Take the remaining reese's cups and decorate the top of each cupcake with a little piece of reese's.

And then your cupcakes will look like the photo below.

ENJOY!
