Neopolitan Cupcake

Vanilla Cupcake

3 eggs

1 ¾ cup Sugar

½ Cup oil

¾ cup Buttermilk

1 cup Sour cream

2 tsp. Vanilla

½ tsp. Salt

1 tsp. Baking Powder*

2 ¼ cup All-purpose flour

Mix eggs and sugar until lemony color. Add the oil, buttermilk, sour cream, vanilla and then mix.  Add the flour, salt and baking powder.  Mix until smooth.  Fill cupcake liners 2/3 full.  Bake 350 15-18 min.  After cupcakes have cooled take off wrappers.   Makes 24
*If you live at a low altitude you will need to put in 1 ½ -2 tsp. of baking powder.

Chocolate Shell

1 cup Chocolate wafers (the melting discs)

1 Tsb. Coconut oil

(You may need to make 1 ½ batches of this to cover all the cupcakes)

Place ingredients in a shallow microwave safe boil. Cook for 30 seconds, and then stir.  Cook for another 30 seconds.

Dip the bottom of the cupcakes almost to the rim, then place upside down on a cookie sheet and place in the fridge until chocolate hardens.  After chocolate hardens you can place cupcakes in a new cupcake liner.  Then Frost

Frosting
3/4 c. Butter

2 Pounds Powder Sugar (8 cups)

1 tsp.  Vanilla

1 cup Freezer dried Strawberries blended into a powder (it should be about ¼ when all blended)

1/3 c. Milk (you may need a little more)

Allow butter to stand at room temperature for about 30 min.  In a large mixing bowl beat butter with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth.  Add powder sugar, vanilla extract, strawberries.  Beat in milk until frosting becomes spreading consistency.  I like to pipe the frosting on with 2D star tip.
