Sauce, For Drizzling On TopFor the chocolate cupcakes: Heat oven to 350ºF. Take a cupcake/muffin tin and place cupcake liners in it. Set aside. In a large mixing bowl, add all of the cupcake ingredients. Mix with a hand mixer until combined, and then for a few more seconds. Be careful not to over-mix the batter. Using a large cookie scoop that is 3 tablespoons in size, scoop batter into each cupcake liner. Bake cupcakes for about 15 to 17 minutes (take a toothpick and stick it into the center of a couple cupcakes and if it comes out clean, your cupcakes are done). Carefully remove the cupcakes and place them on a cooling rack. For the espresso buttercream: In the bowl of a stand mixer, add softened butter and mix. Add coffee extract and mix until well blended. Next, add powdered sugar (in 2 to 3 batches, you don’t want to make a mess) and mix thoroughly. Once you have mixed all of the powdered sugarr, start adding milk 1 tablespoon at a time and keep mixing. Mix buttercream frosting for a full 5 to 6 minutes. Add gel paste food color to the frosting and mix again until thoroughly mixed. I like to make the buttercream frosting a day or two ahead. I store it in the fridge. If it’s been refrigerated, let it sit on the counter for about 30 minutes before trying to decorate your cupcakes. Sometimes, if needed, I will add a little bit of water and mix with a spatula to make it thinner for frosting cupcakes. Take a piping bag and tip and decorate your cupcakes! Drizzle caramel on top as well!
But you’ll have to try them for yourself, as the Rae says in her book, ThePioneerWoman Cooks, there are millions of different of brownie recipes out there ranging from the extremely gooey, to verging on a powdered mess
I love ThePioneerWoman Recipes and I love Chicken Strips, so I knew Ree's recipe for Homemade Buttermilk Chicken Strips was going to be nothing less that great
Cook the ground beef with onion in a skillet over medium-low heat until no longer pink. Cook the bacon until it is a little less done than you normally like it
Cowboys and Tex-Mex are reoccurring themes on ThePioneerWoman, but this time, instead of a lunch delivery in the pastures, the cowboys are coming to the lodge
They often have various celebs making guest appearance and last month, ThePioneerWoman herself, Ree Drummond, was on to make this awesome chicken tetrazzini
ThePioneerWoman Cooks, Ree DrummondPrep Time. The carrots and onions were my favorite part--they were so packed with flavor from the broth, pan juices and herbs
We're back with ThePioneerWoman after a break during the month of May. I sure missed Ree and am looking forward to all the dishes she has planned for the summer
The calzone. After seeing this easy and deliciously cheesy calzone recipe at PioneerWoman Cooks and Food Network, I've managed to convince myself that I can bake calzones
