Cupcakes made with Blueberry Pop-Tarts!
Ingredients
- FOR THE CAKE:
- 1 cup Sugar
- ½ cups Butter, At Room Temperature
- 2 whole Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla
- ½ cups Vanilla Almond Milk (or Regular Milk)
- 1-½ cup Flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
- 1 pinch Salt
- 8 whole Blueberry Pop-Tarts Chopped, Crusts Removed
- _____
- FOR THE FROSTING:
- 1 cup Sugar
- 2 whole Egg Whites
- ⅔ cups Butter, At Room Temperature
- ¼ teaspoons Vanilla Extract
- 6 drops Blue Food Coloring
Preparation
Heat oven to 350F. Put paper liners in a 12-cup muffin tin.
To make cake:
Cream the butter, sugar, and eggs together until fluffy. Add the vanilla and milk, mix well. Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Slowly mix the dry ingredients into the wet and mix until combined. Stir in the Pop-Tarts
Bake for 20-25 minutes. Cool completely before frosting.
To make frosting:
Put the sugar and egg whites in a double boiler; whisk constantly until sugar is dissolved and the mixture is 140F.
Transfer mixture to another bowl and beat on medium-high for about 10 minutes or until mixture is cool and fluffy. Continue beating until stiff, glossy peaks form.
Reduce speed to medium-low; add butter a tablespoon at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla and food coloring, if desired.
Frost cooled cupcakes, and top with an additional Pop-Tart piece if you wish!
Makes 12 cupcakes.

Loved this idea! It was just the kind of recipe I was looking for! My friend is obsessed with S’mores Pop-tarts so I wanted to incorporate them in his cupcakes I was making for his birthday. So I took your recipe and tweaked it to fit with the S’mores Pop-tarts. He LOVED them! Thanks so much!
