I had some left over white chocolate from the Daring Baker’s challenge, and since there was a severe lack of baked goods in the house and people were starting to revolt- I made these. Vanilla cupcakes with double chocolate chip frosting (double chocolate because its white chocolate buttercream with semi-sweet chocolate chips). Sound good? Then read on…
- 1 ¼ cups unbleached all-purpose flour
- ½ tsp. baking powder
- ¼ tsp. baking soda
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup canola oil
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- ½ cup sour cream
- Heat oven to 350° F. Sift flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.
- Using an electric mixer at medium speed, beat egg and sugar in a large bowl until thickened; about 2 minutes. At low speed, mix in oil and vanilla until blended. Mix in sour cream until no white streaks remain. Add flour mixture until batter is smooth.
- Spoon batter evenly into cupcake liners (about ½ full). Bake 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in pans about 20 minutes before frosting.
- 2 sticks (½ pound) unsalted butter, softened
- 12 ounces white chocolate, melted and cooled slightly
- A handful of mini-chocolate chips
- 2 cups confectioners’ sugar*
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- In a large bowl, using a handheld electric mixer, beat the butter at medium speed until creamy. Beat in the melted white chocolate. Add the confectioners’ sugar and vanilla and beat at low speed, scraping the sides and bottom of the bowl, until light and fluffy.
- Add handful of mini chips, stir until mixed well.
*This will vary depending on amount of cupcakes you’re making and how thick/fluffy you like your frosting. Mine came out a bit thin using 2 cups. I’d suggest maybe 4 cups?
As a cupcake, it was good. Tasty, but a bit muffin-y. I’m going to make it again and see if it can be made a bit moister. My oven also is a bit off temperature wise, so I’m thinking that may have caused it as well. The frosting? It was super good, reminded me of TCBY White Chocolate Mousse frozen yogurt. Mmmm.

you might want to try adding maybe a quarter of a teaspoon of unflavored gelatin or something to your frosting; white chocolate doesn’t usually “hold up” very well; it tends to look a little bit runny.
Thats a good idea, cream of tartar is a good stabilizer but it has a slightly bitter taste… the gelatin would probably work well. Although if I’d just added more sugar I think it would’ve been a bit firmer, or “creamier” as opposed to “soft.”
CONGRATS on the site! Everything looks redonk, especially that opera cake cough cough bday in 2 months cough
Wish you the best for a successful *yummo* business!
Thanks Rosellaaaa!! 😀
Holy crap! Thanks for giving me a heart attack. TCBY’s White Choc Mousse Fro-Yo is my all time favorite frozen treat ever!
I only used the icing for a chocolate cake I baked.
It was good… a bit more confectioner’s sugar does well.
HTEAC: Thats my favorite too!
Guest: I think that was my problem more than anything. More sugar would’ve helped immensely.
Unquestionably believe that which you stated.
Your favorite justification seemed to be on the web the easiest thing to
be aware of. I say to you, I definitely get irked while people
think about worries that they just do not know about.
You managed to hit the nail upon the top and also defined out
the whole thing without having side effect , people
can take a signal. Will likely be back to get more.
Thanks
Fantastic site you have here but I was curious about if you knew of any

Hello, i think that i saw you visited my blog thus i came to “return the favor”.I am trying to find things to improve
my web site!I suppose its ok to use a few of your ideas!!
I was reading some of your posts on this website and I conceive this
website is real informative! Retain posting.
Excellent goods from you, man. I have take into account your stuff prior to and you are just extremely
great. I actually like what you have got right here, certainly like what you’re
saying and the best way by which you are saying it.
You’re making it entertaining and you still care for to stay it sensible.
I cant wait to read much more from you. This is really
a tremendous web site.
Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It’s very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.
I wanted to thank you for this excellent read!! I certainly loved every bit of it.
I’ve got you bookmarked to check out new things you post…
Hands down, Apple’s app store wins by a mile. It’s a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I’m not sure I’d want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.
Incredible points. Solid arguments. Keep up the great work.|
Oh my goodness! Awesome article dude! Thank you, However I am
