Ingredients
Cake
- 1/4 cup butter room temperature
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp. maple extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 3 tsp. baking powder
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup cooked bacon finely chopped
Frosting
- 1 cup butter room temperature
- 2 tsp. maple extract
- 3 1/2 T. milk
- 3 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 2 T. cooked bacon finely chopped
Instructions
Cake
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a cupcake pan with cupcake liners. Spray liners with non-stick cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, add in the butter and sugar. Beat with a hand mixer on medium until light and fluffy.
- Add in the maple syrup and beat until incorporated.
- Add in the eggs, vanilla extract, and maple extract. Beat on medium until combined. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, add in the flour, salt, and baking powder. Whisk to incorporate all of the ingredients.
- Add the milk to a cup.
- Alternate adding the dry ingredients and milk in with the wet ingredients beginning and ending with the flour. I added the flour in thirds and the milk in half. Beat on medium until each addition is worked in.
- Stir in the pieces of bacon.
- Fill each cupcake liner about 1/2 way full.
- Place in the preheated oven and bake for 17 minutes or until done. Use the toothpick test to make sure.
- Let cool completely and begin making the frosting.
Frosting
- Add the butter to a large mixing bowl. Mix with a hand mixer until creamy.
- Add the powdered sugar, maple extract, and milk. Mix on low until almost completely incorporated. Turn the mixer on high and beat for another 1 - 2 minutes until the frosting becomes light and fluffy.
- Add the frosting into a piping bag fitted with the 1M tip. Pipe swirls on the cupcakes. Sprinkle with the pieces of bacon.
