sincerely yours, dena

We have a weekly company bake sale at work. All the proceeds go to pay for our summer outing. In the spirit of being a good doobie, here’s my contribution. The local grocery store didn’t have regular whoppers so I had to get the easter version.

Ingredients
14 paper liners
2 tbls Ovaltine malt powder
1 cup malted milk balls such as Whoppers, finely chopped
1 batch batter for yellow cupcakes
½ batch Classic confectioners’ sugar frosting
14 whole malted milk balls

1. Preheat oven to 350F. Place paper liner in 14 wells of one 12 cup and one 6 cup tin.
2. Thoroughly stir malt powder and ½ cup chopped malted milk balls into cupcake batter. Dive batter evenly amount paper liners. Bake for about 18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center shows a few moist crumbs. Cool pans on racks for 5 mins then remove cupcakes to cooling racks to cool completely.
3. Beat remaining chopped malted milk balls into frosting. Frost cupcakes using an icing spatula or a spoon. Top each cupcake with a single whole malted milk ball. Cupcakes are now ready to serve.
