spring time banana cupcakes.


I feel honoured to collaborate with selfpackaging.com for creating a great recipe and presenting them using their lovely Cake Stand!

They are based in Barcelona nowadays and I'm soo in love with their products! So many lovely little boxes with cute designs and also baking goodies on their shop, and they're all looking great! You can find many inspirations there. If you wanna take a look, go visit their website selfpackaging.com or follow them on Instagram @selfpackaging! Thank you to the lovely Elisabet for sending me these... all the way from Barcelona to Germany. I'm grateful! :)

thank you!

SPRING has officially started and Heidelberg is having a spring heatwave until 27 degress these days!. Finally there's a sun after a very long winter. And to celebrate the beginning of Spring (which is so wonderful), I decided to bake another cupcakes and named them: Spring Time Banana Cupcakes!.

Look at that gorgeous cake stand!
also using the yellow baking cups from @icedjems!

It's always a great idea to bake something with banana - a very consistent-quality fruit, which is available to be made anytime of the year. Yes, it's just perfect for any ocassion. Banana cupcake tastes actually quite the same with banana loaf or banana cake. The texture is wonderfully moist, fluffy, and the flavour remains sweet! I do really like it!


On other side, the cream cheese frosting will give you a great combination. It's creamy and just sweet enough to complement any cupcake without overwhelming it. Don't forget that we also have the sprinkles and Raffaello chocolate as topping! Soo yummy! And those sprinkles captured the celebration of Spring, anyway!

perfectly frosted and sprinkled!

Let's have a go guys!
Here's an easy-to-follow recipe to try!


Making 12 regular cupcakes.

For the banana cupcakes:

Ingredients:

230 grams all-purpose flour
150 grams granulated white sugar
1 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teapoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
113 grams unsalted butter, melted and cooled
3 ripe large bananas, mashed well (about 1-1/2 cups)
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Directions:

1). Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).
2). In a large bowl combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon.
3). In a medium-sized bowl combine the mashed bananas, eggs, melted butter and vanilla. 
4). With a rubber spatula or wooden spoon, lightly fold the wet ingredients (banana mixture) into the dry ingredients just until combined and the batter is thick and chunky. Don't overmix!
5). Spoon the batter into the prepared baking cups.
6). Bake for about 20-25 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
7). Place on a wire rack to cool for 5-10 minutes and we're done with the cupcake batter!.

For the cream cheese frosting and assembling:

Ingredients:

16 oz. (452 grams) cream cheese (Philadelphia is best!)
2 sticks (226 grams) unsalted butter, softened
2 cups (250 grams) confectioner or icing sugar
1 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
12 Raffaello chocolate (optional)
sprinkles (optional) 

Directions: 

1). Using a stand mixer with a paddle attachment or a hand mixer (at low speed), combine the cream cheese, unsalted butter, icing sugar and pure vanilla extract in a large bowl, and beat them until sugar is incorporated.
2). Increase speed to medium high and beat until frosting is light and whipped, about 3-4 minutes. 
3). Spoon the frosting into a piping bag and decorate the cupcakes!.
4). After the cupcakes are all covered with frosting, spread some sprinkles and at last top them with Raffaello chocolate.
5). Done and serve!.

Enjoy! Hope you all like it!

you can't stop at just one bite!
