1:50
gonna need for you to break 3 eggs into
1:54
here we'll just add them one at the time
2:00
okeydoke now you can put in the other
2:02
one so see how easy those cupcakes were
2:06
to mix up but now we got two more
2:11
ingredients to add to it that's really
2:14
gonna rich in this up we're gonna use 1
2:18
8 ounce carton of sour cream sour cream
2:22
is wonderful
2:24
you take batter y'all oh my goodness and
2:28
then about a teaspoon of vanilla
2:31
flavoring well maybe that was a little
2:34
bit more but that's alright alright so
2:38
I'm just gonna incorporate that sour
2:41
cream into a batter and Michael if you'd
2:44
reach back there and get our muffin tins
2:47
we'll start scooping this water we're
2:50
gonna fill up our liners about
2:53
two-thirds full this makes phony
2:56
cupcakes now we're gonna put this in the
2:59
oven Michael you can go ahead and do
3:02
that and we're putting those in a 350
3:04
degree oven y'all and we're gonna bake
3:07
them for about 16 to 18 minutes Michael
3:10
I'm gonna put you a surprise in the
3:14
center of these cupcakes after they come
3:16
out of the oven I'm gonna use a three
3:18
ounce package of cream cheese that
3:21
softened to room temperature if you
3:24
would measure me out 1/4 of a cup a
3:27
coffee liqueur I'm gonna beat this real
3:31
real good job cuz I don't want any lumps
3:35
and it's gonna be very important that
3:38
your cream cheese is at room temperature
3:42
that's a pretty cool oh that's a pretty
3:45
one it was a pretty cool Euler pretty
3:48
cool ou're like color did you don't get
3:51
that corny joke you're so cute and see I
3:56
just make all your corny jokes or so
3:59
funny you're probably the only listen
4:03
that's why you liked me cuz I laughed at
4:06
your funny joke so I'll just add this
4:15
look cool just a little at a time and
4:18
now I'm gonna fold in a chocolate
4:22
flavored frozen topping like whipped
4:25
cream yeah
4:26
we're gonna use an 8 ounce container so
4:29
we're just gonna take that and I'm not
4:32
gonna beat it because I'm afraid that if
4:37
we do too much beatin it could deflate
4:39
it so I'm just gonna fold and then kind
4:44
of mash until all that cream cheese is
4:49
in there it's looking good in it stick
4:54
your finger in there and tell me how you
4:55

5:06
still not gonna be through with these
5:08
cupcakes and we're not done with your
5:10

5:19
our cupcakes complete you only taste one
5:22
all right we're ready to finish up
5:30
those cupcakes that we started and
5:34
Michael I need for you to measure me out
5:36
three cups of confectioner's sugar
5:39
please I've dumped a stick of softened
5:41
butter into our bowl two three all right
5:51
now I need for you to measure up about
5:53
1/4 of a cup of that strong cold coffee
5:56
of yours you know it doesn't take much
6:00
liquid or confectioner sugar so you want
6:04
to add just a little bit at the time
6:08
all right a little bit more there we go
6:14
we don't want this too thin because it
6:19
won't stay on our cupcake so I think we
6:22
found got enough coffee in there like it
6:25
so that was a little less and 1/4 of a
6:28
cup of coffee that we pour it in here
6:31
looker there wasn't that fast and easy
6:36
yes alright we've got our cupcakes down
6:38
here and I filled a pastry bag with our
6:42
coffee flavored filling now for the fun
6:44
part we're gonna take our piping bag and
6:48
we're just gonna put our little needle
6:50
down into that cupcake and we're gonna
6:54
squeeze up about a tablespoon in there
6:59
and I tell you what I'm gonna let you do
7:01
that huh and you don't want to put your
7:04
needle too deep because you don't want
7:08
to break through the paper so we're just
7:11
gonna frost our cupcakes now with that
7:14
wonderful coffee flavored icing oh these
