Hello Guys and Dolls. It's time for an internet confession. (Because everything is 100% anonymous when you're online). After a 24 day diet where I purged myself of pop, sugar, and gluten, I have been hitting the sugary sweets like an addict on buy-one-get-one-free day at the methadone clinic. It's been a bit ridiculous. I have tried telling myself a slice or watermelon or bite of an apple will sedate my skin crawling urge for sugar, but really, I want to shove my face into a bag of Snickerdoodle Chex-Mix and let the world judge me as they see fit. As I was never much of a sweets person before, this all seems a bit odd (and terribly guilt inducing)

On a good note, I have no desire to drink soda and more and bread and pasta are still relatively minimal. And, I am drinking a TON of water.

But... I can't seem to satisfy the sweet tooth. And it is getting a little out of control.

Lucky for you, that means baked delights like these random little cupcakes for no reason other than it's Tuesday and I'm a junkie.

Ingredients

  • 8 tbs unsalted butter - at room temperature, plus 24 tbs unsalted butter, cut into small pieces, at room temperature
  • 2 ½ cups flour
  • 3 t tbs cornstarch
  • 1 ½ teas baking powder
  • 1 teas fine salt
  • 2 cups sugar - plus 1 cup sugar
  • 4 eggs - at room temperature, plus 4 egg whites, at room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup milk
  • ½ cup Irish cream liqueur
  • ⅓ cup coffee liqueur
  • 1 tbs instant coffee

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F and line two cupcake tins with paper liners.
  • In a large bowl, whisk the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt.
  • In the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and 2 cups sugar until light and fluffy. Scrape down the sides and mix in the 4 whole eggs one at a time. Beat in the vanilla and scrape down the sides again.
  • Alternating the milk, fold the flour in three batches with a spatula until smooth.
  • With an ice cream scoop, fill each cupcake tin ⅔ full and bake for 20-25 minutes until toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes before poking a few holes in the top of each and brushing with Irish cream liquor before cooling completely.
  • Meahwile, make the frosting. Bring water to a simmer in a double boiler. Wisk the 4 egg whites, with the remaining 1 cup sugar in the bowl of the double boiler until the sugar has dissolved, about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the bowl from the heat and beat with an electric mixer on medium-speed until stiff peaks form, 4 to 7 minutes longer. Beat in the remaining 24 tbs butter, a few pieces at a time, unil smooth. Beat as needed for the mixture to come together (seriously, this can take a minute or two). Whisk the coffee liquor and instant coffee in a small bowl and mix into the frosting. Beat the frosting on medium-high speed until fluffy a few minutes longer.
  • Ice the cupcakes as desired and add sprinkles if desired!

    I never do well when I put something on the "off limits" list... there is always a backfire afterwards! And if I stopped eating sugar, I'd inhale 5 of these when given the chance.

    I have weird periods of sugar cravings too. I'm in a weird sandwich phase right now - I literally haven't had bread in 6 months but all I can think about is sandwiches. These look awesome! The photos are gorgeous!

    I fell off the wagon last night. As in: I ate a wagon's worth of potato chips. And then the wagon ran over me.

    Your lack of sugar control makes me one happy gal. I mean, look at those gorgeous cupcakes with that perfect buttercream swirl. I'm not complaining.
