I am not a fan of whoppers candy, but when I say these chocolate malted cupcakes on Meet Me in the Kitchen, they looked so good I had to try them. Now, Mare at Meet Me in the Kitchen actually got the recipe from Culinary Concoctions by Peabody.
I must tell you that I wasn’t thrilled with how this cupcake turned out. It was just ok. The flavor of the cake was odd for me, I’m guessing because of the malt powder. Now, I absolutely ate these cupcakes, don’t get me wrong, but I wasn’t jumping for joy. The texture of the cupcake was also more brownie like than cake like.
I did however absolutely LOVE the Chocolate Malted Milk Whipped Cream frosting. I couldn’t tell at all that there was malt powder in it. It was a totally delicious chocolate whipped cream frosting. I will absolutely make this frosting again, but just put it on another cupcake or cake.
