Cakespy: Cupcake-Stuffed Cupcakes Recipe

• 1 batch (18-24) miniature cupcakes, baked, frosted, and chilled in refrigerator for at least an hour
• 12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 cup (4.5 ounces) cake flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup milk
• 2-3 cups buttercream frosting
• Sprinkles (optional)

1. Adjust oven rack to middle position and preheat oven to 350u0b0F. Line two muffin tins with standard sized cupcake liners. Remove your chilled mini cupcakes from the fridge. If made using paper liners, remove the liners. Set aside.
2. Combine butter, eggs, sugar, and vanilla and beat with wooden spoon until thick and lightened in color, about 5 minutes. Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in separate bowl. Alternately add flour mixture and milk to butter mixture in four batches, beating with spoon until smooth to incorporate after each addition.
3. Fill cupcake cups no more than halfway full with batter. In each half-filled cup, place one mini cupcake directly in the center. Cover cupcakes with extra batter if desired (see note)
4. Place in the oven with a cookie sheet underneath in case of dripping. Bake until light golden brown (about 25 minutes). The frosting from the mini cupcakes may have melted over the sides a bit, but you should still be able to see if the cake has browned.
5. Remove from oven and let cool. Once fully cooled, top the cupcakes with frosting.
6. If desired, garnish with sprinkles.
