Poppy Cupcakes

I spied these creative cupcakes on our resident Cupcake Queen’s facebook page and asked if she would share the recipe.

If you’ve ever been to a school function, or a bake sale and saw some cupcakes that knocked your socks off, you can bet they were made by Karen Creelman! Thanks Karen for sharing!

WHITE CAKE RECIPE

1/2 cup margarine
1/2 cup shortening
2 cups white sugar
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup hot water
3 cups flour
3 eggs
2 tsp baking powder
2 tsp salt
2 tsp vanilla

Cream margarine, shortening and sugar until light and fluffy. Add milk and hot water – beat well. Add one egg, 1 cup flour, baking powder and salt to mixture, blend in well. Then add one egg and 1 cup flour and blend in again. Then add the last egg, last cup of flour and vanilla. Beat for 5 minutes. Spray with pam or line cake pan with wax paper. Bake at 325 F for 1- 1/4 hours, or until knife comes out clean. Makes a 9 x 9 cake or approximately 12 cupcakes.

To decorate, use white frosting, Swedish berries (or fresh raspberries) and a chocolate chip for the center.
