Churro Cupcakes with Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting

Sorry, this is a late post. I made these cupcakes on Sunday. This is the first time that I made Churro Cupcakes, and they were a hit! Usually Sundays are my baking days. I also felt like baking something haha. Hope you guys enjoy!


Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Mix all the dry ingredients in a separate bowl.

Cream the butter and sugar together until it is light and fluffy.

Add the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla and oil.

Sprinkle 1/3 of the flour mixture, then add in the milk repeating the process ending with flour.

Fill the cupcake tins hallway and bake for 14-16 minutes. I baked mine for 17:30 minutes.

Let them cool down before frosting.

Voila!

Churro Cupcakes

Cupcake Ingredients:

1 1/2 C all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 salt
1/2 (1 stick) C unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 C sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 C vegetable oil
1/2 C milk

Frosting Ingredients:

4 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
4 tbsp unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 C confectioners' sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp cinnamon

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a muffin pan with cupcake liners; set aside.
2. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
3. In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, until just combined, then stir in the vanilla and oil. Sprinkle 1/3 of the flour mixture and gently stir until barely combined. Add half of the milk, mixing until just combined. Repeat these steps ending with flour. Do not over mix.
4. Fill the cupcake tins for about halfway and bake for 14-16 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with one or two crumbs clinging to it. Allow the cupcakes to cool completely.
5. For the frosting, cream the butter and cream cheese together in a big bowl. Add the sugar one cup at a time, beating well before each addition. Stir in the cinnamon until well combined. Then stir in the vanilla. Beat the mixture until light and fluffy.
6. Pipe onto cupcakes, sprinkle with cinnamon sugar and dulce de leche if desired.

Enjoy!
