Easter Egg Surprise Cupcakes
 Ingredients:
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup margarine, softened
1 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup white sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups milk
24 small chocolate eggs, unwrapped
Frosting:
sweetened whipped cream
food coloring - blue, green and yellow
jelly beans or other decorative edible candy eggs
Method:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Grease 24 muffin cups, or use paper liners. Sift together the
flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside. In a large bowl, cream
together the margarine, brown sugar and white sugar until light and
fluffy.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the
vanilla. Beat in the flour mixture alternately with the milk,
mixing just until incorporated. Fill each muffin cup 1/3 full, and
place a chocolate egg in the center of each. Top with remaining
batter until cups are 2/3 full.
Bake in preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes, or
until golden brown, and tops spring back when lightly tapped. Frost
and decorate as desired.
Frosting: Fill whipped cream in 2-3 diff. colors
and pipe the icing directly onto the cupcakes using a star nozzle.
Decorate with jelly beans or other candy eggs.
Makes 24 cupcakes.
