\u00a0I wanted to share a cupcake recipe with a little twist in the form of a peep. \u00a0These are actually called Yeti Cupcakes, but I decided to add a peep and make them into Easter cupcakes. \u00a0This recipe is from the book Cupcakes Galore<\/em> by Gail Wagman. \u00a0She has great recipes. \u00a0You can read about the Lemon Meringue Cupcakes I made from her book here<\/a>.<\/h3>\n

Yeti Cupcakes<\/h3>\n

White Velvet Cupcake<\/h3>\n

2 cups all purpose flour<\/h3>\n

2 teaspoons baking powder<\/h3>\n

1 teaspoon salt, plus a pinch for the egg whits<\/h3>\n

1\/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature<\/h3>\n

1 1\/4 cups sugar<\/h3>\n

2\/3 cup milk<\/h3>\n

1 teaspoon vanilla extract (you can use another flavoring if you wish)<\/h3>\n

3 egg whites<\/h3>\n

1 cup mini- marshmallows<\/h3>\n

-Preheat over to 350<\/h3>\n

-Mix flour, baking powder, and salt together, set aside<\/h3>\n

-Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. \u00a0Alternately add flour mixture and milk and beat until batter is smooth. \u00a0Add flavoring.<\/h3>\n

-Beat egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff but not dry. \u00a0Gently fold into batter. \u00a0Fold in mini marshmallows.<\/h3>\n

-Spoon batter into cupcake papers, filling cups about 2\/3 full. \u00a0Bake for 20-25 minutes.<\/h3>\n

Frosting<\/h3>\n

2 egg whits<\/h3>\n

3\/4 cup sugar<\/h3>\n

1\/4 cup light corn syrup<\/h3>\n

Pinch of salt<\/h3>\n

1 teaspoon vanilla extract<\/h3>\n

1\/2 cup sweetened shredded coconut<\/h3>\n

-In a large bowl, preferable the top of a double boiler, mix egg whites, sugar, corn syrup, and salt until combined. \u00a0Place the bowl over simmering water and whisk until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is hot. \u00a0This will take about 3 minutes. \u00a0Remove from heat and beat for 5-7 minutes until frosting is cool and stiff peaks form. \u00a0Beat in vanilla and delicately fold in the coconut by hand, if desired. \u00a0The frosting will be ready to spread. \u00a0Decorate frosted cupcakes to your taste.<\/h3>\n

Top with Peeps and enjoy.<\/h3>\n
