Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup shortening
- 4 large eggs
- 2 cups superfine sugar
- 2 3/4 cups cake flour
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 cup warm milk
- 1 very ripe plantain (mostly black)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- Avocado Buttercream, recipe follows
- Plantain Chips, recipe follows
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line a 24 count regular-size cupcake pan with cupcake liners.
- In a heavy-duty mixing bowl, cream together the butter and shortening on medium speed. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, until completely combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula. Add the superfine sugar with the mixer set to low speed. Once combined, set the mixer to medium speed and mix for 5 minutes.
- Sift together the cake flour, cinnamon, salt, and baking powder. Begin to add the sifted dry ingredients to the batter, alternating with the warm milk. In a separate bowl, blend the plantain with a hand mixer. Add the vanilla and the blended plantain to the batter.
- Fill the cupcake liners almost to the top. Bake until the cake bounces back when you touch it, about 25 minutes. Remove from the pan and place onto a tray to cool.
- Using a pastry bag and piping tip, frost the cupcakes with the Avocado Buttercream and top with 1 plantain chip.
- In a heavy-duty mixing bowl, cream the butter until light and fluffy. Add 3 cups powdered sugar. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula. In a food processor, blend the avocados until smooth and add into the buttercream. Then add the remaining 4 cups powdered sugar.
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
- Thinly slice the plantain, place on a baking sheet, and sprinkle with sugar. Bake until the chips have browned completely, about 7 minutes.
