I love cupcakes much more than I do cake itself. They are easy to eat on-the-go and there are so many different varieties. The gang over at Cupcake Project created some tasty Cupcake Nuggets. They are deep fried and served warm, with a side of dipping sauce.
Recipe:
Yield: 24 cupcake nuggets
Ingredients:
- 7 cooked cupcakes – Any flavor works, but they recommend vanilla.
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup buttermilk
- enough vegetable oil for your fryer
- dipping sauce of your choice (I used raspberry jam.)
Directions
- Use three of the cooked cupcakes to make cupcake croutons seasoned with brown sugar and cinnamon. The cupcake croutons will serve as “bread crumbs” for the nuggets.
- Food process the cupcake croutons until you have a powder. It’s OK if there are a few clumps. Nuggets are a dessert that should not look polished.
Would you rather have regular cupcakes or deep-fried cupcakes?
