After taking a long hiatus, on account of bringing a new little life into this world, I am slowly trying to get my life back to normal. It is definitely taking its time because I have now become very accustomed to the not doing anything in the kitchen and hence very lazy :) ...my parents live in the same building, you see, and yes, I know, I am extremely lucky. :)
This Christmas, my sister and family came to visit us, and to meet the new member of the family. That's when I decided to commence the baking again... and I welcomed them with these delicious Tiramasu cupcakes! And I am sure my brother in law will vouch for them. :)
Ingredients
For Cupcakes
1 package yellow cake mix
1 1/2 cup coffee
3 eggs
1/3 cup vegetable oil
12 ladyfingers ( Italian pastry), cut into bite size pieces
For Buttercream Icing
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup icing sugar
1 tsp vanilla
2 tsp milk
Preparation
Cupcakes
Preheat the oven to 350 F. Line the cupcake pan with baking cups.
In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, coffee, eggs and oil. Beat this with an electric mixer for 2 minutes. Fold in the ladyfinger pieces. Spoon into the baking cups. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until golden. Cool cupcakes in pan for 5 minutes or so. Remove from the pan and cool completely.
Icing
Whip together the butter and the sugar in a bowl until well blended. Add the vanilla and milk to this. Whip this mix again until light and fluffy.
* For more thickness, you can add more sugar.
* Vanilla essence can be added as per your taste.
* This will give you just about 1-2 cups of icing.
Ice the cupcakes and enjoy! :)
