Cupcake Friday-Chocolate Malt

I have been wanting to make a chocolate malt cupcake forever, because I LOVE chocolate malts-and I think that should be an easy transition to a cupcake. Well they were good-but a little too dark for Chad and I.

If I make them again I will only use 1/2 the cocoa in the cupcake and the frosting-but I will give you the recipe I used, in case you like the dark chocolate taste.

Chocolate Malt Cupcakes

• 2 eggs room temp
• 1/2 c. milk room temp
• 4 T Butter, melted then cooled
• 1 t. vanilla

Mix together and set aside

• 1 2/3 c. flour
• 2/3 c. malted milk
• 1/2 c. sugar
• 1/4 c. brown sugar
• 1/4 c. cocoa
• 2 t. baking powder

Whisk together and then stir in milk mixture

Bake at 375 for about 15 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Chocolate Malt Frosting

• 1 1/2 c confectioners sugar
• 1/2 c cocoa
• 1/4 c malted milk
• 1/2 c butter room temp
• 3 T milk

Mix milk and malt together and then beat in rest until smooth.

Don't get me wrong-they are still really yummy and a good dense cupcake-they just weren't my favorite I have made yet-and I was really hoping they would be!
