For the banana cupcakes:

  • 3 teaspoons baking powder, sifted
  • 165 grams CSR caster sugar
  • 100 grams CSR brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 125 grams unsalted butter, softened
  • 390ml milk
  • 2 eggs
  • 125ml grapeseed or vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the filling:

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 170℃
  2. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment combine all the ingredients for the banana cupcakes and beat on medium speed for 1 minute or until smooth. 
  3. Line a cupcake tin with 12 patty pans and fill each patty pan up 3/4 full.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes (you can check if the cupcakes are cooked by inserting a skewer into them, if it comes out clean then they’re cooked).
  5. Allow the cupcakes to cool completely.
  6. Whilst the cupcakes are cooling prepare the CSR Buttercream as per pack instructions. Transfer to a piping bag fitted with a star nozzle.
  7. Once the cupcakes are cool, using an apple corer remove the centre of each cupcakes and using a piping bag fitted with a 1cm round nozzle generously fill each cupcakes with dulce de leche.
  8. Pipe the buttercream onto each cupcake and top with a drizzle of caramel and a slice of banana. Serve and enjoy!
