Chocolate Biscoff Buttercream Cupcakes

This post is brought to you by Biscoff Spread // Have you “Spread the Love” yet? You know, the spread that has taken the nation by storm… Biscoff Spread.  I have dipped my toe in the Biscoff pool a couple of times and today I’m sharing my Chocolate Biscoff Cupcakes along with sharing about the Biscoff Spread the Love Challenge. All you have to do is share your photos of how you use Biscoff. You could win a trip to Belgium to the Biscoff factory, cash prizes or a years worth of Biscoff!!

What is Biscoff? Well, if you’ve ever flown on a commercial airline within the last 20 years you may have had a Lotus Biscoff cookie as a in-flight treat.  They are a tasty cookie created in Belgium, and in Europe they are called Lotus Speculoos cookies.

Back in 2007 a culinary enthusiast brought their Speculoos creation to a Belgium reality television show, not unlike our Shark Tank here in the U.S. and pitched an idea for turning the Speculoos cookies into a spread. The folks at Lotus LOVED the idea and that is how Biscoff Spread was born. Within 3 hours of it’s first release, the Biscoff spread sold out and it has become an overnight sensation all over the world!! Click here to find out where you can buy Biscoff.

 

Baking with Biscoff and WhipperBerry

 

All Biscoff products are made with all-natural ingredients and are preservative-free. They are free of trans fat and cholesterol and made without genetically modified ingredients or artificial colors. They are Vegan and also do not contain nuts. 

 

You can enjoy Biscoff in many ways, on toast, with apple slices, in a sandwich or in all kinds of sweet goodies. About a year ago, I created a Biscoff Crepe Raspberry Cake that was truly a show stopper.

When I was developing that recipe I created my Biscoff buttercream recipe that is perfect for all types of desserts. This week I topped my favorite chocolate cupcakes with that amazing Biscoff buttercream and it was heaven in cupcake form. 

 

Chocolate Cupcakes with Biscoff Buttercream from WhipperBerry

Chocolate Biscoff Buttercream Cupcakes

 

Chocolate Cake:

 

1 Chocolate Cake Mix (any kind, I've used chocolate fudge, Swiss chocolate, or milk chocolate)

 

1 C Mini Chocolate Chips

 

1 cup Sour Cream

 

1 Pkg. of Chocolate Pudding (small 3.5 oz. box)

 

 

Biscoff Buttercream:

 

2 sticks of unsalted butter at room temperature

 

1 cup Biscoff

 

1 tsp. vanilla extract

 

pinch of salt

 

3-4 cups of powder sugar

 

1-2 tbsp. whole milk

 

Directions

For the most amazing chocolate cake ever, prepare cake batter as directed on box, and add sour cream, pudding and chocolate chips.  Pour into cupcake liners.  Bake as directed on box (you might need to add a minute or two to the baking time because of the added ingredients).  Place on a wire rack to cool.

For the buttercream I just modified my Simple Vanilla Buttercream recipe a bit by adding the Biscoff and lowering the amount of vanilla extract.  It’s a good classic and easy buttercream recipe.

In a bowl of an electric mixer with the paddle attachment,  place softened butter and Biscoff.  Cream the two together and add vanilla extract.  Turn mixer off and add half of the powder sugar, carefully turn the mixer on low and mix the sugar in completely. Add the remaining sugar slowly until it creates a dough like consistency. Add 1 tbsp. of milk and mix on high. Check the consistency of the buttercream. If it’s too tight add more milk. Mix on high for 5-7 minutes until light and fluffy.

 

If needed store in a air tight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.  Take out of the fridge for an hour or two before you want to use it to make sure that it is at room temperature when you need it.

 

Using a jumbo closed star decorating tip with a pastry bag from Sweet Baking Supply, I iced the cupcakes with a simple swirl and then drizzled a little melted Biscoff on top. For some added flair you can break-off a piece of a Lotus Biscoff cookie and place it on top of the frosting. These cupcakes will hold up quite well as long as the temperatures aren't too hot. Refrigerate if don't plan on eating them for a bit, but make sure to bring them back up to room temperature before serving.

Not all holiday gifts need to be ooey gooey sweet. Savory holiday gifts are just as lovely, sometimes even more so. I personally have been off sugar for 3 months now and I’m really nervous for the holiday season to arrive. Having the house fill up with sweets is NOT what I’m wishing for this Christmas. I would LOVE to get one of these Ball® Sharing Jar soup mixes as a gift. Not only are they soothing to the soul, but they are also good for you as well. - WhipperBerry @ballcanning #soupinajar #printabletags #souprecipe

Soup Mix Sharing Jars 

This year, I’m working on all kinds of fun gifts for the Holidays that will look spectacular gifted inside of a jar. One of my favorites is the White Chocolate Ginger Scone Mix in a jar. It’s really easy to put together a whole bunch of these gifts and really not expensive at all. It’s always a bonus to save a little money during the holidays. @ballcanning #giftsinajar #neighborgifts #teachergifts #sconeinajar

White Chocolate Ginger Scone Mix In A Jar 

As much as we hate to admit it, cold and flu season is on its way. There is nothing more miserable than one of those lousy winter colds. What’s almost just as bad is watching someone you care for dealing with a cold or, Heaven forbid, the flu! I’m always looking for ways to help cheer them up and let them know that we love them and hope for their better health. That’s when I came up with this idea for a Cold and Flu Rescue Kit to share with those loved ones that are suffering. • WhipperBerry

Cold and Flu Rescue Kit

Not to knock commercially prepared applesauce, but when you have the opportunity to enjoy homemade applesauce, you will know the difference. It’s sweet and tangy with the perfect texture. Not to mention the fact that it harmonizes well with many different notes on your palette AND, it’s super easy to make! #applesauce #applesaucerecipe #homemadeapplesauce
