Cupcakes

Banana – Mash the bananas well with a fork. Set asidePro tip– mash the bananas just before you use them to prevent them from oxidizing. Wet ingredients – In a stand mixer bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time followed by the mashed bananas and heavy cream. Combine – Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and combine well but do not overmix the batter. Bake – Divide the batter between the prepared cupcake liners and bake in the oven for 20 to 22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool – Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then, take them off the pan and cool completely before frosting.
Assemble
Cream cheese frosting – Add the cream cheese and butter in a stand mixer bowl with the paddle attachment. Whip until smooth, then add the cream, salt, lemon juice and vanilla extract, followed by the powdered sugar one cup at a time. Whip until smooth and fluffy. Bag – Place cream cheese frosting in a piping bag with a star tip.Pro tip – make sure the cupcakes are completely cooled before frosting otherwise, the frosting will melt. Pipe – Holding the bag at a 90-degree angle, pipe a swirl on each cupcake. Squeeze the bag while turning in a circular motion. Decorate – Top with banana chips, dragees, or other decorations. I made these for a baby’s birthday along with a blue banana smash cake hence the blue color.
