    Hipp Hipp Hooraay! Bake to the roots is one year old!
    Let’s celebrate a bit, shall we? :)

    Banana Split Cupcakes | Bake to the roots
    Banana Split Cupcakes | Bake to the roots

    Exactly one year ago I started this blog with my recipe for Tiramisu Cupcakes. A year with a lot of baking, more than I have ever done before ;) Of course I was baking a lot in the past, but not twice or more often a week… that has changed ;) A year with a lot of nice moments but also moments I wanted to jump into peoples faces – for example my disastrous attempt to make Minion Cake Pops. Bad. Really Bad. Anyways – let’s focus on the better things ;)

    ● 112 recipes are online so far – everything from bread to cake and of course my favorites: Cupcakes! 

    ● Two different layouts for the blog already ( I had massive problems with the first theme that could not be fixed)

    ● Lots of nice comments from people that used my recipes for their bakes (that is what I like the most)

    ● Lots of flour, sugar and butter – some sweat when it had to bake a cake last summer in my 40°C heated flat

    ● Two contests I was lucky to win with my pictures

    ● Tons of cake plates, cups, storage boxes, backgrounds etc. I have no idea where to store

    ● Lots of questions from friends if/when I open a bakery or coffee shop ;) Answer: I DON’T KNOW :P

    ● … and so much more recipes on my list for the next year!

    Of course this all is a reason to celebrate! And as you know there is no better way to celebrate: having some nice cupcakes! Especially these here: Banana Split Cupcakes. Delicious cupcakes with white chocolate, filled with a banana cream custard, topped with a nutella and vanilla buttercream and finished with a sweet cherry. The combination is just great! Hope you like it as much as I do!

    Now let’s get ready for the next year…

    DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG

    • English
    • Deutsch
    1. Preheat the oven to 350˚F (175°C). Line muffin tins with paper liners. Chop the white chocolate and set aside.

    2. In a mixing bowl combine melted butter, oil, eggs, vanilla extract, sugar and salt. Mix until well combined. Mix the flour with baking powder. Add milk and flour mix to the mixing bowl and mix until well combined. Do not overmix. Fold in the chopped chocolate.

    3. Pour the batter into prepared muffin tins and bake for 20-24 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool completely on a cooling rack.

    4. For the banana cream custard place all ingredients in a blender and mix to combine. Pour mix into a saucepan and bring to a boil, whisking constantly (be careful or it will burn). Continue to cook the mixture until it thickens. Remove from heat and let cool down.

    5. For the buttercreme add egg whites and sugar to a heatproof bowl and place on a pot with simmering water (not boiling). Whisk constantly until temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) – if you don’t have a thermometer, whisk until the sugar has completely dissolved and the egg whites are warm. Transfer to the bowl of a food processor or mix with a hand mixer until the meringue is thick and glossy. The bowl should not feel warm anymore – this can take up to 10 minutes. Add the butter in small pieces one after another and mix until incorporated. Keep mixing until the texture of the buttercream is smooth and silky. Add vanilla extract and keep mixing on low speed until all is well combined. Fill 2/3 of the buttercream into a piping bag with a star tip. Add the nutella to the remaining buttercream and mix until well combined. Fill into a piping bag with large round tip. Set aside.

    6. For the chocolate coating melt the chocolate with the heavy cream. Add powdered sugar and mix to combine. Add water one tablespoon at a time, mixing after each addition until pouring consistency is reached. Set aside and let sauce cool down a bit.

    7. Core the cupcakes and fill with the banana cream custard. Pipe a small amount of nutella buttercream on top of each cupcake to create an even layer. Freeze cupcakes for 20 minutes before dipping in warm chocolate sauce. Remove cupcakes from the freezer, dip in warm chocolate s auce and then rim with the sugar pearls. Let the cocolate harden for some time and finish piping a swirl buttercream on top and garnish with a maraschino cherry.

    1. Den Ofen auf 175°C (350°F) vorheizen. Muffinbleche mit Papierförmchen bestücken. Die weiße Schokolade klein hacken und zur Seite stellen.

    2. In einer großen Schüssel die geschmolzene Butter mit dem Öl, Eiern, Vanille Extrakt, Zucker und Salz verrühren. Mehl mit Backpulver mischen und zusammen mit der Milch in die Schüssel geben. So lange rühren, bis alles gut vermischt ist, aber nicht zu viel rühren. Die gehackte Schokolade unterheben.

    3. Den Teig in die Papierförmchen füllen und für 20-24 Minuten backen – mit einem Zahnstocher testen, ob noch Teig kleben bleibt und erst herausnehmen, wenn der Zahnstocher sauber herauskommt. Auf einem Kuchengitter auskühlen lassen.

    4. Für die Bananencremefüllung alle Zutaten in einen Mixer geben und pürieren. In einen Topf schütten und vorsichtig unter ständigem Rühren zum Kochen bringen. Vorsicht – die Masse kann schnell anbrennen. So lange köcheln lassen, bis alles eingedickt ist. Vom Herd nehmen und abkühlen lassen.

    5. Für die Buttercreme das Eiweiß und den Zucker in eine feuerfeste Schüssel geben und auf einen Topf mit leicht köchelndem Wasser stellen und so lange aufschlagen, bis die Masse eine Temperatur von 71°C (160°F) hat. Sollte kein Thermometer zur Hand sein, so lange erwärmen und aufschlagen, bis sich der Zucker vollkommen aufgelöst hat (zum Testen etwas Eiweißmasse zwischen den Fingern zerreiben – spürt man den Zucker nicht mehr, ist die Konsistenz richtig). Die Masse mit der Küchenmaschine oder einem Handmixer aufschlagen, bis sie dick und glänzend ist. Die Schüssel sollte nur noch handwarm sein – das kann bis zu 10 Minuten in Anspruch nehmen. Die Butter in kleinen Stücken nach und nach zugeben und gut verrühren. So lange rühren, bis die Creme glatt und seidig ist. Vanille Extrakt zugeben und weiter aufschlagen, bis alles verrührt ist. 2/3 der Buttercreme in einen Spritzbeutel mit Sterntülle füllen. Nutella zur verbliebenen Buttercreme zugeben und gut verrühren. In einen Spritzbeutel mit runder Tülle füllen. Zur Seite legen.

    6. Für die Schokoladenglasur die Schokolade mit der Sahne schmelzen. Puderzucker darübersieben und verrühren. Wasser löffelweise zugeben und nach jeder Zugabe gut verrühren, bis die gewünschte Konsistenz erreicht ist. Zur Seite stellen und etwas abkühlen lassen.

    7. Die Cupcakes aushöhlen und mit der Bananencreme befüllen. Eine kleine Menge der Nutella Buttercreme auf jeden Cupcake aufspritzen und glattstreichen. Cupcakes für ca. 20 Minuten in den Gefrierschrank stellen. Die Cupcakes in die Schokoladenglasur tauchen, etwas antrocknen lassen und dann den Rand rundherum in die Zuckerperlen tauchen. Alles fest werden lassen und dann noch mit der hellen Buttercreme und einer Maraschino Kirsche dekorieren.

      Oh sieht es hier lecker aus bei Dir, bin gerade zufällig bei Dir gelandet. Eva von evas_backparty hat mich auf Dein Gewinnspiel bei Instagramm “gestupst”, da mache ich doch gerne mit und um ansonsten keine Deiner Leckereien zu verpassen, habe ich mich hier gleich mal als Follower bei Bloglovin eingetragen. Eigentlich habe ich anfangs nur genäht, gehäkelt und gekocht, ans Backen habe ich mich erst durch Eva gewagt. Inzwischen konnte ich meine Familie und insbesondere meinen Vater (gelernter Bäcker :-) ) mit einigen tollen Backwerken überraschen. Ich freue mich auf ganz viel mehr von Dir und stöbere nun mal weiter. Liebe Grüsse von der Insel Rügen, Mandy die hummelelli von hummelelllis_plapperkasten

    About me


    Hi, my name is Marc. I’m a graphic designer.
    I love my job, but in between I love to bake and try new things in the kitchen. A lot of my friends and colleagues encourage me to bake – for a very simple reason: they get the leftovers – and it seems they like it most of the time. ;)
