Time 2h40m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 box Betty Crocker™ Super Moist™ yellow cake mix
Water, vegetable oil and eggs called for on cake mix box
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
3/4 cup corn syrup
1/4 cup butter, melted
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 eggs, slightly beaten
1 cup chopped pecans, toasted
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 tablespoon unflavored gelatin (from 2 envelopes)
1/4 cup cold water
3 cups whipping cream
2/3 cup powdered sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F. Place paper baking cup in each of 24 regular-size muffin cups. Make and bake cake mix as directed on box for cupcakes, using water, oil and eggs called for on box. Cool in pans 10 minutes; remove from pans to cooling racks. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in 2-quart saucepan, stir together granulated sugar, brown sugar and cornstarch. Stir in corn syrup, melted butter, salt and eggs. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture begins to boil. Remove from heat; stir in pecans and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Cool 10 minutes. Refrigerate 1 hour or until thickened.
  • While stuffing is cooling, in 1-quart saucepan, sprinkle gelatin over cold water; let stand 1 minute. Heat gelatin mixture over low heat about 2 minutes, stirring constantly, until dissolved. Cool to room temperature, stirring frequently, about 15 minutes.
  • In chilled medium bowl, beat whipping cream with electric mixer on low speed while slowly adding gelatin. Increase speed to medium; beat until soft peaks form. Add powdered sugar and vanilla; beat until stiff peaks form. Refrigerate frosting until ready to top cupcakes.
  • With melon baller, scoop out center of each cupcake, scooping almost to bottom of cupcake; discard removed cake pieces. Spoon or pipe 1 tablespoon stuffing into cavity of each cupcake.
  • If needed, cut off 1/4-inch corner from paper or plastic decorating bag. Fit 1/2-inch star decorating tip into bag. Spoon frosting into bag; pipe frosting in circular motion onto each cupcake. Store in refrigerator.

Time 33m

Yield 24 miniature cupcakes

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 cup chopped pecans
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup packed brown sugar
2/3 cup butter, melted
2 eggs

Steps:

  • Combine all ingredients and mix well.
  • Spray a miniature muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray.
  • Fill each 3/4 full.
  • Bake in preheated oven for approx.
  • 18 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use room temperature ingredients: This will help ensure that your cupcakes are light and fluffy.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help incorporate air into the batter and make your cupcakes more tender.
  • Gradually add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition: This will help prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Stir in the dry ingredients until just combined: Overmixing can toughen the cupcakes.
  • Fill the cupcake liners about 2/3 full: This will help prevent the cupcakes from overflowing in the oven.
  • Bake the cupcakes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: The toothpick should come out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
  • Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting: This will help prevent the frosting from melting.
