Quest 100: Heart Container Cupcakes

Happy 100 Quests! We have been questing for awhile now and I wanted this post to be extra special. So today I sharing with you THE recipe for the cupcakes that are so popular with my family. I often make these for when we people over for board game days and other get-togethers. These are super chocolately and I will bet you that you can't just have one. For being gluten free, these cupcakes will definitely fill your heart container. Enjoy!

Gear!
1 GF chocolate cake mix - Betty Crocker
1 GF brownie mix - Betty Crocker
6 eggs
1 cup water, hot
2 tsp instant espesso
1 stick butter (1/2 cup) softened
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp baking powder

Quest!
For this particular recipe, you do need to use these particular mixes. They normally make a small pan of brownies and a single layer cake.










In a mixer, beat eggs until light yellow.











In a measuring cup, measure out your hot water from the tap. Then add instant espresso powder. Mix and let it sit for a little bit.










Add softened butter, vanilla and baking powder to eggs. Mix until combined.











Add mixes to the bowl and stir on low. Add in espresso mix and continue to mix for 2 minutes on medium. Should be like a cake mix when done. Let this sit for at least 5 minutes for the flour to fully absorb the liquid.








Preheat the oven to 350 degree F. Get your cupcake liners ready in the pan and make sure to spray the liners with non stick spray. Spoon the cake mixture in so they come up about 3/4 of the way full. Should make 24 cupcakes.








Bake for 18-23 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the cupcakes. Transfer to a wire rack and cool completely.

Once completely cooled decorate with your favorite frosting. Today with have a light pink vanilla frosting.










Add red and pink hearts to indicate how much life the hero still has. Add some extra sprinkles for fun and Enjoy!

Quest 76: Maple Carrot Cake Muffins


In all the recipes that we have done, we have not considered Epona or anything even remotely associated with her. Now Epona is a good horse and deserves some recognition for all the times she has hauled me around Hyrule field on some side quest to find a - oooh piece of candy. So in honor of our friend Epona, we are making a carrot recipe - and don't worry it won't be the last. This is one of my favorite recipes and it's pretty easy too. With a little GF baking know-how, there is not much difference if you want to make this GF or regular flour. Enjoy!

Gear!
3 cups shredded carrots
2 cups GF AP Flour - with xanthium gum
1 cup sugar
1 t baking powder
1 t baking soda
1 t cinnamon
1/2 t salt
4 eggs
1 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup maple syrup

Frosting
8 oz cream cheese
1/4 cup butter
1 t vanilla
1/4 cup maple syrup
Chopped walnuts - optional

Quest!

In your mixing bowl, add together carrots, sugar, cinnamon, eggs, vegetable oil, and maple syrup. Mix together
Add flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix together until smooth. Let sit for at least 10 minutes so the dough is not grainy.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Prep a muffin tin with non stick spray and cupcake liners. Scoop batter into muffin tin.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool completely before frosting.
Let's make frosting! In a bowl, add cream cheese, butter, vanilla and maple syrup. Beat together until fully combined.
With an offset spatula, frost the muffins anyway you like. You can get fancy and use a cake decorating tip as well, but today I went for quick and easy.









Enjoy! I hope you like this recipe.
