Categories     baking     guys night     sweets     tailgate

Time 45m

Yield 15

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup milk
5 black tea bags
2 cups sugar
4 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon zest
2 teaspoons divided fresh lemon juice
2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
3/4 tablespoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup softened unsalted butter
2 lbs divided confectioner's sugar

Steps:

  • In a small saucepan over medium heat, heat milk until hot to the touch. Place tea bags in hot milk, and let steep for 15 to 20 minutes. Remove and discard tea bags. Let milk cool.
  • Preheat oven to 350 °F. Line 2 (12-cup) muffin pans with paper liners.
  • In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar at medium speed with an electric mixer until creamy. Beat in eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Add 1/2 cup of the milk and tea mixture, lemon zest and 1 teaspoon lemon juice. Mix well.
  • In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt. Gradually add dry mix into the wet ingredients.
  • Spoon batter evenly into prepared muffin cups. Bake for 20 to 22 minutes, or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Remove from pans, and cool completely on wire racks. Spread or pipe Arnold Palmer Frosting evenly over cupcakes.
  • Arnold Palmer Frosting:
  • In a large bowl, beat butter at medium speed with an electric mixer until creamy. Gradually beat in confectioner's sugar alternately with 1/2 cup reserved tea/milk mixture slowly. Beat in 1 teaspoon lemon juice until creamy.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe bananas: Overripe bananas add more flavor and sweetness to the cupcakes.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter and more tender cupcake.
  • Gradually add the eggs: Adding the eggs slowly will help prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Be careful not to overmix the batter: Overmixing can develop the gluten in the flour, resulting in a tough cupcake.
  • Use a muffin scoop to fill the cupcake liners: This will help ensure that all of the cupcakes are the same size and shape.
  • Bake the cupcakes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: Overbaking will dry out the cupcakes.
  • Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting: This will help prevent the frosting from melting.
  • Use a piping bag to frost the cupcakes: This will help you create a smooth and even frosting layer.

Conclusion:

Arnold Palmer cupcakes are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With their moist banana cake base and sweet tea frosting, these cupcakes are sure to be a hit with everyone. Whether you are a fan of Arnold Palmer or not, you are sure to enjoy these delicious cupcakes. They are the perfect way to satisfy your sweet tooth and bring a smile to your face.
