Ingredients:
Cupcakes:
– 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 teaspoon baking powder
– 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 2 large eggs
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1/2 cup sour cream
– 1/4 cup milk
– 1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 2-3 bananas)
Toppings:
– 1/2 cup chopped strawberries
– 1/2 cup crushed pineapple, drained
– 1/4 cup chocolate syrup
– 1/4 cup chopped nuts (optional)
– Whipped cream
– Maraschino cherries
Instructions:
1. Preheat the Oven:
– Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin pan with cupcake liners.
2. Prepare the Dry Ingredients:
– In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
3. Mix the Wet Ingredients:
– In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract, sour cream, and milk until well combined. Stir in the mashed bananas.
4. Combine and Fill:
– Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full.
5. Bake the Cupcakes:
– Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cupcakes to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
6. Add the Toppings:
– Once the cupcakes are completely cool, top each cupcake with a dollop of whipped cream. Sprinkle with chopped strawberries, crushed pineapple, and chopped nuts (if using). Drizzle with chocolate syrup and top each with a maraschino cherry.
