Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cup AP Flour
  • 1 cup Sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsp Baking Powder
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 cup Butter cubed and softened
  • 1 Egg
  • 2 Egg Yolks
  • 1 1/2 tsp Almond Extract
  • 1/3 cup Sour Cream
  • 1/2 cup Milk
  • 1 cup Trail Mix grind the nuts
  • Trail Mix for topping

Method
 

  1. preheat oven to 350 degrees
  2. Combine the first four ingredients in the bowl of an electric mixer.
  3. Next add the softened butter cubes, egg and egg yolk, almond extract and milk. Mix until fully combined (there may be small pieces of butter in the batter, thats OK!)
  4. Fold in the trail mix. I did grind the nuts so they weren’t as big, but left the M&Ms; and raisins whole.
  5. Divide between 12 prepared cupcake wrappers and sprinkle whole nuts, raisens and M&Ms; on top. Bake for 20 minutes. Let cool.

Notes

I used this Dark Chocolate Frosting recipe and it didn’t work. At all.
What’s up Martha? Why have the past few recipes I have made of yours gone wrong?
It came out more like a ganache, not a pipeable frosting, but it still tasted fantastic!
