  • 114 grams pureed banana (no lumps) (scant 1/2 cup)
  • 2 teaspoons brewed coffee
  • Strawberry Banana Cream Cheese Buttercream
  • 57 grams unsalted butter, chilled room temperature (4 tablespoons)
  • 57 grams cold cream cheese, broken into chunks (2 oz.)

Instructions
Cupcake
  1. Preheat oven to 350. Place liners in a muffin (patty) pan. (12-14) Set aside.
  2. In a medium large bowl add flour, unsweetened cocoa, sugar, baking powder, salt and baking soda. Whisk to combine. In a microwave proof bowl melt butter and cool slightly. Add eggs, vanilla, banana and coffee. Stir to combine. Add wet ingredients to dry and mix with enthusiasm until smooth and shiny, a minute or two. Pour into liners about 2/3 full.
  3. Bake 18-22 minutes or just until a toothpick comes out with a few wet crumbs. Don’t over bake because chocolate tastes terrible when it is too brown. Cool on a rack before frosting.
Strawberry Banana Cream Cheese Buttercream
  1. In the bowl of a stand mixer using a whip attachment, mix butter. Add chunks of cream cheese and whip with butter until combined. Add sugar and whip on low until sugar is mostly combined. Add vanilla, strawberry and banana puree. Whip on high until the mixture is light and fluffy. If it seems a little too gooey for piping, set in refrigerator for about 10 minutes. Pipe onto cupcakes and top with chocolate sprinkles.
  2. Store cupcakes in the refrigerator but serve at room temperature.
