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.

Sorry you didn’t love the cake part of these! We did and so did everyone I shared them with. Maybe it was the malt powder in the cupcake. They look beautiful and I agree the frosting was amazing!

I love malted milkshakes and malted milk balls, although I go for the really good kind you can get at Cracker Barrels. Or the kind my sister-in-law used to bring us from Hawaii that had espresso chips in the chocolate. I think I would like those cupcakes.

I’ve just discovered your blog, and I want to say Thank You! I did a search for a Chicken Pillows recipe and found your blog. And discovered many, many delicious recipes to try. I made the chicken pillows yesterday, and there were a hit! I’m from Idaho, but live in the United Kingdom now, and was very pleased to see lots of familiar recipes that you’ve posted. The only problem is I can’t always find the same ingredients here! Thanks again, Jana
