Cinnamon Streusel Cupcakes

These are hands down one of the best cupcakes I’ve ever made! The inside has a chocolate-cinnamon streusel ribbon (that adds a little crunch) and the frosting is made with the syrup from macerated strawberries, cinnamon and sugar. It’s like a little bite of coffee-cake-cupcake goodness which makes it a perfect pair with your morning coffee.

These cupcakes were created as an entry into The Foodie Blogroll 1,2,3 Cook & Snap Recipe Contest using the ingredients Chocolate, Cinnamon and Strawberries. I’d love if you’d vote for my picture here.

Total Time: 34 minutes minutes
Servings: 24

Ingredients

  • Chocolate Cinnamon Streusel:
  • 1/2 cup semi sweet chocolate chips melted
  • 3 Tbs Brown Sugar
  • 1 Tsp Cinnamon
  • Cupcakes:
  • 1/2 Cup Cake Flour
  • 1/2 Cup All Purpose Flour
  • 1/2 Cup Sugar
  • 1/2 Cup Buttermilk reduced fat
  • 1 Egg Yolk
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1 Tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1/2 Tsp Baking powder
  • 1/2 Tsp Baking soda
  • 1/2 Tsp salt
  • Frosting:
  • 1/4 Cup Frozen Strawberries
  • 3 Tbs Sugar
  • 2 Tbs Water
  • 1 tsp Cinnamon
  • 1 Cup Heavy Whipping Cream
  • 1 Cup Powdered Sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350. Line mini cupcake pan with 24 liners.
  • Start by making the chocolate cinnamon streusel. Melt chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl in 30 second intervals, stirring in between each 30 seconds until melted and smooth. Mine took 1 and a half minutes. Add brown sugar and cinnamon and stir. It will be a thick paste like consistency.
  • Next put the frozen strawberries in a bowl, top with water, sugar and cinnamon and combine all ingredients and set aside.
  • In a bowl combine cake flour, all purpose flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda. Set aside
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer beat the sugar and the egg yolk and egg until creamy. Add the vanilla extract and the buttermilk and mix until well combined. Add the dry ingredients to the wet and combine.
  • Spoon about a teaspoon in the lined mini cupcake pan. Then take a knife and spoon and cut a little of the streusel in each of the cups, then top it off with a little batter. Bake for 13-15 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely.
  • For the frosting: take the liquid from the strawberries that have been melting into a syrup (I used about 2 Tbs worth of liquid) only take the liquid and put in the bowl of a stand mixer. Discard the remaining strawberries (or use them in a smoothie or milkshake). Add the heavy cream and powdered sugar and whip until soft peaks form.
  • To frost the cupcakes spoon the whipped cream frosting into a gallon zip lock bag and cut a hole into the corner and use as a piping bag and frost the cupcakes.
  • Optional-top the cupcakes with a little piece of strawberry

Here are my November 5 star books: Mrs Nash’s A Here are my November 5 star books:
Mrs Nash’s Ashes by @sarahadlerwrites  I did not want this lovely book to end! The characters had such great chemistry and it was overall such a good romance.”A starry-eyed romantic, a cynical writer, and (the ashes of) an elderly woman take the road trip of a lifetime that just might upend everything they believe about true love.”
Will They Or Won’t They by @avawilderwrites Such a cute story and I loved the ending, was not expecting it to end the way it did with the little twist. “Onscreen, they’re in love. Offscreen, they can’t stand each other. From the author of How to Fake It in Hollywood comes “a sexy lovers-to-enemies-to-lovers romance that smolders then bursts into flames”
Flying Solo @lindaholmes97  @justjuliawhelan narrates - she’s my fave narrator. This was such a fun audiobook, there were parts that had me loling and it was a unique love story, I thoroughly enjoyed it. “A woman returns to her small Maine hometown, uncovering family secrets that take her on a journey of self-discovery and new love, in this warm and charming novel from the NYT bestselling author of Evvie Drake Starts Over.”
The Lost Bookshop @evie.gaughan This was such a lovely cozy read with a touch of whimsey, I really loved the story. “The Keeper of Stories meets The Lost Apothecary in this evocative and charming novel full of mystery and secrets. ‘The thing about books,’ she said ‘is that they help you to imagine a life bigger and better than you could ever dream of.’ On a quiet street in Dublin, a lost bookshop is waiting to be found…”
