Cupcake Tuesday~Maple Walnut Cupcakes

Welcome to another week at Cupcake Tuesday! I hope you are all enjoying Fall and all the great recipes that bloggers are sharing. This week I have a yummy Maple Walnut Cupcake to share with you. And I have topped it with a cute little acorn, that is quick and easy to make.

I originally found this recipe on the Martha Stewart website, and changed it up a bit.

Maple Walnut Cupcakes

Ingredients:

2 3/4 c. Flour

1 T. Baking Powder

1/4 t.  Salt

1 t. Cinnamon

2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, room temperature

1 1/2 c.  Sugar

3 Eggs

1 t. Vanilla

1 c.  Milk

1 1/2 c. Walnuts, chopped medium-fine

Directions

Combine Flour, Baking Powder, Salt and Cinnamon, set aside. In large bowl, beat the butter and sugar until creamy. Add the eggs and vanilla. Then add the flour mixture, alternating with milk, begin and end with flour mixture. Fold in walnuts.

Divide into cupcake lined muffin tins, bake in pre-heated 350 degree oven for 20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Maple Buttercream Frosting

I changed the frosting choice from what Martha had used. I frosted the Caramel Apple Cupcakes with a simple Buttercream Frosting with maple syrup in it, so I decided to use that again.

Acorn Decorations

 

These cute little acorns are created from vanilla wafers and a chocolate kiss. Simply use a little frosting to adhere the kiss to the wafer, upside down, and there you have it. A cute little acorn
