Ingredients
  

For the Cupcakes
  • 1 cup Butter/Margarine Adds richness and moisture to the cupcakes; can substitute with plant-based butter for a dairy-free version.
  • 1 cup Banana Milkshake Powder Provides the signature banana flavor; try using different flavors for exciting variations.
  • 2 cups Flour Forms the structure of the cupcakes; stick to all-purpose flour unless you need a gluten-free option.
  • 2 large Eggs Acts as a binder and adds moisture; you can use flax eggs for a vegan substitute.
For the Buttercream
  • 4 cups Icing Sugar Sweetens and gives structure to the buttercream; sift it before use for a smoother texture.
  • 1 cup Milkshake Powder Enhances the buttercream flavor; feel free to experiment with different flavors.
  • 1/4 cup Milk Adjusts consistency as needed; non-dairy milk works well too.
  • a few drops Yellow Food Coloring (optional) Adds a cheerful touch to the buttercream for a pastel look.

Equipment

  • Muffin tin
  • mixing bowl
  • Hand mixer
  • Piping bag

Method
 

Cupcake Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (conventional) or 160°C for fan-assisted baking. Line your muffin tins with cupcake cases.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine softened butter, banana milkshake powder, all-purpose flour, and eggs. Beat until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated.
  3. Carefully spoon the batter into the prepared cupcake cases, filling them about two-thirds full.
  4. Place the filled muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes until golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
  5. Let the cupcakes cool in the tin for 5-10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Buttercream Preparation
  1. In a mixing bowl, beat softened butter with half of the icing sugar until creamy. Add the remaining icing sugar, milkshake powder, and milk as needed, then beat until fluffy.
  2. Once the cupcakes are completely cool, frost them using a piping bag or spatula. Swirl for decoration and add fun toppings.
  3. Serve at room temperature, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
