Strawberry Milkshake Cupcakes

22.2.13 By Annie N

Strawberry Milkshake Cupcakes

Phew, what a week!

My Uni work load is getting ridiculous. I’m pretty much sleeping, eating and working at the moment ๐Ÿ™

I spent nine house researching and writing the other day. Nine hours!ย I had blisters on my hand and serious cramp! Not fun at all, but unfortunately I only learn things when I write them down, there’s no point reading or typing stuff as it just doesn’t go in!

I wish I had a photographic memory, it would be so much easier!

The thing is, in one module we still don’t actually know what we’re doing entirely, the design brief isn’t even finished and we’re about to go into week 5. Ridiculous. We’ve been told to research, but last term we were told we did too much research and it wasn’t focused enough, so I have no idea, I’m just trying to research something as if I sit there doing nothing I panic because I know I should be doing something, even though I’m just confused. Everyone is, so it’s not me being dumb!

Ah well, I’m just going to do as much as I can every day and try and get some baking time at the weekends!

Speaking of baking, I made these last weekend. I got the new Hummingbird Bakeryย book last week and I couldn’t wait to get started making things from it! What I love about their books is that you always find something new! You all know I’m addicted to cookbooks and I love reading them, I know it means I probably have about 100 vanilla cupcake recipes, but I like to make different ones and choose my favourite, but it’s also so great when you don’t just get the same type of recipes in a book!

Once I saw these cupcakes I knew I had to make them right away. I am addicted to strawberry milkshake, I never get chocolate or banana, it’s always strawberry. This recipe actually has milkshake powder in it!! The frosting actually tastes like you’re drinking a strawberry milkshake, I’m surprised any ended up on the cupcakes…

Strawberry Milkshake Cupcakes

Strawberry milkshake cupcakes with the most amazing milkshake frosting.
Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Servings 12

Ingredients

  • 70 g butter/marg
  • 210 g plain flour
  • 250 g caster sugar
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • 210 ml milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 40 g strawberry milkshake powder, I used Nesquik
  • Ingredients for the frosting:
  • 500 g icing sugar
  • 160 g unsalted butter, softened
  • 65 ml milk, (this was for pipable frosting if you're spooning the frosting on use 50ml)
  • 100 g strawberry milkshake powder
  • 12 milk bottle sweets to garnish, optional

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 170 degrees C and line a cupcake tray.
  2. Place the butter, flour, sugar, baking powder and salt into a large bowl or the bowl of your mixer and mix until it resembles sand.
  3. Place the milk, eggs and milkshake powder into a jug and whisk lightly.
  4. Pour the milk mixture into the dry ingredients and mix on med-high speed until well incorporated and smooth.
  5. Divide the batter between the cupcake cases, 2/3 full.
  6. Place in the oven for 20-25 minutes until risen, slightly golden and an inserted skewer comes out clean.
  7. Transfer to a wire rack as soon as possible to stop papers peeling away from cupcakes and leave to cool completely.
  8. Once cooled, make the frosting. Sift the icing sugar into a large bowl or the bowl of your stand mixer and add in the butter.
  9. Mix, starting on a slow speed and increasing as the mixture combines, until light and fluffy. Place the milk and milkshake powder into a jug and whisk until combined.
  10. Pour into the buttercream and mix until well combined and perfectly smooth.
  11. Pipe or spoon the frosting onto the cupcakes and place a milk bottle on top to garnish, if desired.
  12. Cupcakes will keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

    Thanks very much ๐Ÿ™‚

  29. Annie Standing says

    27.2.13 at 2:01 pm

    Sorry, but I wouldn't feel comfortable converting this recipe to cups, I don't think it would be very successful as it was from an English cookbook and the measurements are quite exact, a cup of flour for me might weigh something different for you and I'd hate for the recipe to not work for you.

  30. Annie Standing says

    27.2.13 at 2:02 pm

    Thank you, I was surprised how good they tasted and the frosting!?! Amazing!

  31. Annie Standing says

    27.2.13 at 2:03 pm

    Thank you, they have to be one of the best things I've made recently! ๐Ÿ˜€

  32. Annie Standing says

    27.2.13 at 2:03 pm

    Thank you ๐Ÿ™‚ Hope you're having a great week!

  33. Annie Standing says

    27.2.13 at 2:04 pm

    I could have just sat there with a spoon and eaten all the frosting, it was sooooo good haha!! Thanks so much for hosting! ๐Ÿ˜€

  34. Annie Standing says

    27.2.13 at 2:04 pm

    I was worried it would taste really artificial, but they turned out great!!

  35. Annie Standing says

    27.2.13 at 2:07 pm

    Thank you so much! I'm not too sure this would work being converted to cups, it's from an UK cookbook and the measurements are precise so I'd be worried that a cup of sugar for me would weigh something different for you and it wouldn't turn out too great. I can convert it to ounces as it would still be exactly the same, but would just hate for it not to work for you if converted to cups ๐Ÿ™

  36. Annie Standing says

    27.2.13 at 2:09 pm

    Thanks so much ๐Ÿ™‚ I use metric-conversions.org when I need to convert things, but I didn't convert this just followed the recipe from the book!

    Hi Annie, these look so yummy and exactly what i've been looking for. Do you know if i could successfully add chocolate chips to these in any way? Would they sink? Could i prevent that?
    Thanks!

  50. Annie Standing says

    6.6.13 at 8:30 am

    Hi there, Yes, I think you would be able to add chocolate chips to this recipe without any problems! To stop them sinking I always measure my flour into a small bowl and then add the chocolate chips into the flour and toss together to coat them ๐Ÿ™‚
