Maple Bacon Cupcakes

Cake Recipe

1 cup (2 sticks) of butter (room temperature)
2 cups of sugar
4 eggs (room temperature)
3 cups of sifted self-rising flour
1 cup of whole milk (room temperature)
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

½ tub of Cool Whip – just do it.

Add small amounts of Boca Java Maple Bacon Coffee to your liking. (Brew it strong)

You may also add maple syrup and/or bacon grease to the cake batter to give it a richer flavor

Cream butter until it’s creamy and fluffy. Add sugar and vanilla then mix until it is very creamy. Add eggs and blend the batter till it is well mixed. Add Flour and milk to the mixture. Use an ice cream scoop to put batter into the baking cups so they are even.

* Consider adding maple syrup in the bottom of the baking cup, this will leave the cupcake very moist.

Frosting: 2 Dozen frosted

2 sticks of butter

4 packages of Cream Cheese (8oz)

2 cups of powdered sugar

2 teaspoons of Pure Vanilla Extract

Add small amounts of Bacon Grease to give a subtle hint of bacon flavoring

Add butter, cream cheese, powdered sugar and vanilla. Mix on medium speed until it is very creamy and no lumps. Add bacon grease in small increments until flavor you desire has been reached.

* Cut small pieces of bacon to add to the top of the cupcake for decoration. You can also chop it up and crumble on top of the frosting as well. Use leftover bacon for bloody Mary in the am. Enjoy!
