BUTTERBEER CUPCAKES

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350 and set-up a cupcake pan with cupcake liners.
• 2. Sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl; set aside.
• 3. In a separate bowl, using a mixer, beat butter and brown sugar until it is creamed together. Add the eggs one at a time, beat some more after every one. Add vanilla and butter flavoring and beat until well incorporated.
• 4. This is a good method to make the cupcakes turn out fluffy. Have at your side the buttermilk and cream soda ready to go...
• 5. Fold in 1/3 of the flour mixture. Then fold in buttermilk.
• 6. Fold in 1/3 more of the flour mixture, then fold in the cream soda. Finally, fold in the remaining 1/3 of the flour mixture.
• 7. Spoon mixture into cupcake liners; fill them just over 3/4 full. Bake about 18 minutes, or until cupcakes are springy, and toothpick from center comes out clean. Transfer cupcakes out of pan and let them cool completely.
• 8. Now make your ganache: In a saucepan on low heat, melt the butterscotch chips and heavy whipping cream, stirring occasionally. When it is all melted, pour mixture into another container, and place somewhere out of the way to cool it (like in the fridge).
• 9. Now make your butterscotch buttercream: In a mixing bowl, beat together all ingredients except for powdered sugar. Slowly add in powdered sugar and taste. If it is sweet enough for you, then stop adding more sugar!
• 10. When ready to decorate cupcakes, use whatever pastry filler you have, or if you don't have one (like me), spoon buttercream into a ziplock baggie and cut off the tip.
• 11. Decorate cupcake with buttercream, and drizzle with the ganache. The ganache is so tasty... go ahead and drizzle on a LOT! lol. You will have leftover ganache... store it for more cupcakes, or as a fruit dip, or drizzle into coffee.

WIZARDING WORLD OF HARRY POTTER BUTTERBEER

Steps:

• Pour whipping cream into stand mixer bowl and start on medium speed. You can also use a traditional bowl and hand mixer.
• Add the powdered sugar one tablespoon at a time followed by the sugar, and salt.
• Once the ingredients are mixed in, increase the speed and whip to a slightly firm consistency. You don't want super stiff cream since this isn't for frosting.
• Add the butterscotch caramel topping and continue beating to desired consistency. I try to go for something a little stiffer than Cool Whip but looser than frosting.
• Spoon 1-2 teaspoons into a cold mug or glass. Pour the chilled cream soda into the glass stirring somewhat slowly with a spoon. You don't want make the two things one but stirring it will build a better head. Once the head starts to form pretty good, you can stop stirring.
• Serve cold and enjoy.
• Notes: You can put the unused cream into a plastic container and it will keep in the fridge for a few days. I have tested several brands of cream soda (IBC, Sprechers, Frostop) but the one that tastes the closest to what you will get at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter is definitely Boylan's Cream Soda. I use Mrs. Richardson's Butterscotch Caramel Topping and pink sea salt. I do know that the WWHP uses a non-dairy topping and I'm on the hunt for Rich's Whip Topping but no luck yet!

Steps:

• Make the Butterbeer Cake:.
• Preheat oven to 350 F degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spray with nonstick spray.
• Add cake mix plus required ingredients into a bowl of a standing mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Beat on medium speed for 5 minutes until combined. Turn off mixer and add butterscotch extract and red gel food coloring. Beat until combined.
• Pour mixture into prepared baking sheet. Bake for 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Let cake cool completely in pan.
• Use a 3-inch round cookie cutter to punch out 12 rounds of cake. Cut each round in half horizontally so that the cakes are about ½ inch tall.
• Whisk together butterscotch syrup with 1 tablespoon of hot water. Brush tops of cake with mixture and set aside.
• Make the Decorations:.
• Add yellow candy melts to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30 second intervals, whisking in between, until melted. Transfer to a piping bag. Pipe out 4 lightning bolts onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, using a template if needed.
• Repeat with the black candy melts, piping 4 pairs of eyeglasses. Set decorations aside in fridge to set.
• Make the Frosting:.
• Add the cream cheese, sugar, butterscotch extract, and salt to the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with a whisk attachment. Beat until fluffy and transfer to a large bowl.
• Add the heavy whipping cream to the standing mixer and whip to stiff peaks.
• Fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture in 3 batches.
• Transfer about a fourth of the mixture to a piping bag fitted with an 826 star tip.
• Add the yellow food coloring to the remaining frosting, about 1 teaspoon, and gently fold with a spatula to combine. Transfer to a piping bag fitted with an 806 round tip.
• Assemble the Cake:.
• Position acetate cake collars on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
• Push a cake round into the bottom of the cake collar. Pipe in a layer of yellow frosting to cover the cake round, but do not smooth over. This helps keep clean layers. Add another cake round and another layer of yellow frosting. Top it off with a final cake round.

BUTTERBEER CUPCAKES RECIPE - (4.4/5)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a cupcake tin with baking cups. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside. In a large mixing bowl, beat together the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the vanilla extract and butter flavoring. Fold in 1/3 of the flour mixture, then the buttermilk, 1/3 of the flour mixture, cream soda, and then the remaining flour. Folding in these ingredients will prevent over-mixing and will result in a fluffier, less dense cupcake. Fill cupcake liners 3/4 of the way full and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the cupcakes are golden and spring back when touched. Cool completely before frosting. Ganache: In a small saucepan on medium heat, melt the butterscotch chips into the heavy cream, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and cool to room temperature before using. Buttercream: In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter until light and fluffy. Mix in the butterscotch ganache, vanilla, butter flavoring, and salt. Beat in the powdered sugar for 2-3 minutes, starting with 3 cups and adding more only if necessary. Add the cream a tablespoon at a time until desired consistency is achieved (I only needed 1 tablespoon). To Assemble: Pour butterscotch ganache into a plastic squeeze bottle. Stab the tip of the bottle into cupcake and fill each cupcake with butterscotch ganache until it starts to overflow. Fill a pastry bag with butterscotch buttercream and pipe onto the top of each cupcake. Drizzle on the butterscotch ganache. Lick your fingers clean if you just so happen to get extra butterscotch on them. If you have any leftover butterscotch ganache, it can be used as ice cream topping. Store in an airtight container at room temperature (that is, if they don't get devoured immediately).
