So one of my British BFFs has come to visit me in America over the holidays. The boy loves him some mint chocolate. Hence, Ajay's Delight. A dark chocolate cupcake with peppermint frosting, garnished with a holiday sprinkling of candy cane dust. Yummers.
Edit: Just adding desserts to the Christmas tag when I noticed this should be updated. Ajay is not my bff, he is now my husband! And he still loves these cupcakes, for the record.
You will need:
1 recipe dark chocolate cake batter yielding 24 cupcakes, prepared and baked.
1 cup butter (two sticks) - room temperature
4 cups powdered sugar
1/4 cup skim milk
1/2 tsp peppermint extract (or to taste)
1. With an electric mixer, cream the butter.
2. Add milk and peppermint extract.
3. Add powdered sugar and beat, one cup at a time, until smooth.
