Moist and delicious cupcakes soaked in three kinds of milk, topped with whipped cream.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 5 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1 can (12 oz) evaporated milk
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar

Instructions

1. Prepare the Crust:

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla.
  4. Alternately add the flour mixture and whole milk to the butter mixture, beginning and ending with flour.
  5. Divide batter evenly among cupcake liners. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  6. In a separate bowl, mix evaporated milk, condensed milk, and 1/4 cup heavy cream. Poke holes in warm cupcakes and slowly pour the milk mixture over them.
  7. Refrigerate cupcakes for at least 2 hours or overnight.
  8. Whip remaining heavy cream with powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Top each cupcake with whipped cream before serving.
