I did a lot of different things with this cupcake recipe so I’m going to break it down into different sections for you so it’s a more thorough tutorial if you came for a different reason than just the recipe! The recipe is at the bottom. Sorry. But I’ll try to stay on topic.
Eggless Cupcakes
Eggs make me very sick, even if I bake them in. I get sick from even a teeny bit so I have to be pretty careful with all of my food. I’m not allergic- I won’t die, I’ll just feel like dying. I have tried vegan cupcakes at a number of places, but always thought they tasted like dirt. I think a lot of the substitutes make for a bit of a dry cupcake.
On the other hand, I’ve tried egg substitutes… all of them… in recipes and never been really happy. The cupcakes tend to fall apart in my hands. So I was trying to avoid that with this recipe.
I started with this recipe from My San Francisco Kitchen because my favorite egg substitute in sweets is pudding, but I couldn’t find a cupcake recipe with it… and accidentally came across this recipe. It DOES have egg. It just also has pudding. I decided to try to work off this recipe though because I could use the extra pudding as the cupcake centers.
Some of my cupcakes have the pudding filled center and some didn’t; both tasted good, but I’d really digging the pudding ones!
How to Make Pudding Filled Cupcakes
First, bake your cupcakes, use the toothpick test to make sure they’re cooked through, and let them cool. If you prefer, you can refrigerate them which will help them solidify further.
Use a paring knife to remove the center, but make sure not to remove the bottom of the cupcake. I cut away the middle, but left a small slice of the top to put back on after.
Add a scoop of pudding to the middle.
Replace the top. Frost your cupcakes as normal; this will cover up the gaps!
How to Make Cupcakes that Look Like Pumpkins
If you want to make your cupcakes look like pumpkins, you’ll need some Tootsie Rolls or Kit Kats. I used the small Halloween 1-bite Kit Kats and cut them in half.
Frost your cupcakes first with orange frosting.
Add the Kit Kat or Toosie Roll to the top.
Add a swirl of green frosting for the greenery off the stem. All done!
