Ingredients
  

Cupcakes

  • 290 g flour
  • 12 g baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 100 g melted butter
  • 200 g regular white sugar
  • 30 g vanilla sugar
  • 3 eggs room temp
  • 120 g sour cream
  • 3 tsps vanilla syrup
  • 50 ml oil

Pine cone

  • 400 g softened butter
  • 3 tbsps milk
  • 300 g icing sugar
  • 50 g cocoa powder
  • NUTLOVE crunchy flakes with cocoa

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 210°C. Prepare a muffin pan and paper cups.
  • In a bowl mix together melted butter, oil, vanilla syrup, and sugars. You can use an egg whisker as well. Whisk for a minute until the mixture gets creamy.
  • Add eggs and whisk again until combined. Add sour cream and repeat. Add flour, a pinch of salt, and baking powder. Mix well until the flour disappears.
  • Let the mixture rest for 5 minutes. In the meantime put paper cups in every second hole in a muffin pan. Fill up the paper cups and bake for 5 minutes.
  • Then decrease the temperature to 180°C and bake for 8-16 minutes. Depends on how big your muffins are. I recommend baking until the toothpick comes out clean. Take them out of the oven, get them out of the muffin pan after 4 minutes and let them cool completely.

Pine Cone

  • In a bowl whip butter, cocoa powder, and icing sugar.
  • Then add tablespoons of milk and whip again.
  • Frost cool cupcakes with a frosting bag and frosting tip. Then take crunchy cocoa flakes and press them in into the shape of a pine cone.
