MAPLE CUPCAKES WITH CHERRY COMPOTE AND GOAT CHEESE FROSTING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a cupcake or muffin pan with 24 regular cupcake liners.
• In a bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt together. Set the bowl aside.
• In the bowl of an electric stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, cream the butter until light and fluffy. Add in the maple syrup and combine. Add in the eggs one at a time, mixing between each addition. Then add the vanilla and combine. Alternate adding the flour mixture and the milk to the mixer. Mix until just combined.
• Fill the cupcake liners three-quarters full. Bake until cooked through, 16 to 18 minutes. Cool the cupcakes completely.
• To assemble: Fill cupcakes with the cooled Cherry Compote. Top with the Goat Cheese Cream Cheese Frosting.
• In a pan, heat the cherries, agave nectar, cornstarch, salt and 1/4 cup water. Whisk until combined and there are no clumps of cornstarch. Heat over medium-high heat until the compote begins to boil, and then bring to a simmer. Cook until you reach the desired thickness, 15 to 20 minutes. Place in a bowl to cool.
• In the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter, cream cheese, goat cheese and salt until smooth and fluffy. Add in the powdered sugar, a little at a time, and beat until achieved desired consistency. Add to a piping bag fitted with desired tip.

SAVORY ITALIAN CUPCAKES WITH GOAT CHEESE FROSTING

Steps:

• 1. 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a muffin pan with liners. Mix the first five ingredients (flour through baking powder) in a bowl. With electric mixer, combine with 1/4 cup butter to form coarse crumbs. Stir in mozzarella cheese, sausage, olives, and tomatoes.
• 2. 2. In a small bowl, combine milk, pesto, and egg, then add to crumb mixture all at once. Stir quickly with a fork to moisten. Spoon into prepared muffin cups. Bake 20-25 minutes, or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pan on wire rack for 10 minutes.
• 3. 3. Make the "frosting." Let the goat cheese crumbles come to room temperature. In a bowl, mix the goat cheese, basil, and cream until smooth consistency, adding more cream if too thick. Pipe or spread frosting over cooled cupcakes and top with a slice of sausage, tomato, or a basil sprig, if desired.

GINGERBREAD CUPCAKES WITH GOAT CHEESE FROSTING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 12 muffin cups with paper liners and spray the liners with cooking spray. Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ground ginger, cinnamon and cloves into a medium bowl. Whisk the melted butter, vegetable oil, brown sugar, eggs, molasses and 3/4 cup water in a large bowl. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until the batter is smooth. Fill each paper liner with cup batter, about 1/4 inch below the top of the liner. Bake just until the tops feel firm and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and brush the tops liberally with the ginger syrup. Let sit in the pan for 5 minutes before removing. Let the cupcakes cool completely on a wire rack before frosting. For frosting, blend together goat cheese and butter on high speed until light and fluffy. Gradually add half of the sugar, then the milk and vanilla. Add as much of the remaining powdered sugar to the recipe to achieve desired consistency. Frost cupcakes, and serve!
