Mickey was everywhere, even honeymooners donned Mickey Mouse hats with veils. It was Disney World after all, but I still did not expect the level of devotion that the adults had for the Disney characters. These cupcakes are a tribute to our time spent at Disney World and to all those Mickey Mouse LOVERS! It does not matter from which side you bite into these cupcakes, Mickey Mouse is there to suprise and delight the little and big kids alike.<\/p>\n

Dark Brownie Mixture for Mickey on Inside<\/strong><\/h3>\n

(you only need half of this recipe but I make the whole amount and let the kids have some).<\/p>\n

1 cup or 220g (7.76 ounces) butter
\n2 1\/4 cups or 490g (17.28 ounces) sugar
\n4 eggs
\n1 1\/2 cups or 240g (8.47 ounces) plain flour
\n1 1\/4 cups or 150g (5.29 ounces) unsweetened cocoa powder
\n1 tsp baking powder
\n1 tsp instant coffee powder (optional)
\n1 Tbsp vanilla (optional)<\/p>\n

Preheat oven to 180C (356 degrees Fahrenheit). Melt the butter, allow to cool then add the sugar and eggs and mix well. Add the remaining ingredients and mix until combined. Spoon into a 17.5cm (6.89 inches) x 27cm (10.63 inches) tin and spread to the edges. Bake for approx 20-30 minutes or until a knife inserted into the centre comes out clean, try not to over bake them.<\/p>\n

To make the brownie ‘paste’ crumble the brownies into a bowl (remember that you only need half the brownies if you made the full recipe). Add 1\/2 cup of vanilla cake batter and 1\/4 cup of water and stir well. If it is still very dry and crumbly, this will be the case if the brownies were a little over baked, then you may need to add up to another 1\/2 cup vanilla batter and 1\/4 cup water. Once you have a moldable paste you can make your mickey shapes (see video below).<\/p>\n

\nCrumble the brownies into a bowl. Add the vanilla cake batter and 1\/4 cup of water and stir well. If it is still very dry and crumbly, this will be the case if the brownies were a little over baked, then you may need to add extra cake batter and water until you have a thick shapeable \u2018dough\u2019.
\n Take 2 teaspoons of mixture and roll into a ball. Using another 3 teaspoons of mixture roll a snake that is 9cm (3.54 inches) (3.5\u201d) long and join the two ends to make a donut shape. Place the donut on top of the ball like a crown. The mixture is quite sticky so use wet hands to make it easier to work with. Repeat to make 12.<\/p>\n

Vanilla Cake Cupcake Recipe<\/strong><\/p>\n

(this recipe has been updated to give a softer, yummier cupcake)
\n(makes 12 cupcakes)
\n6 Tbsp or 80g (2.82 ounces) butter or margarine at room temperature
\n1 1\/2 cups or 330g (11.64 ounces) sugar
\n2 cups or 320g (11.29 ounces) flour
\n3 tsp baking powder
\npinch of salt<\/p>\n

2 eggs
\n1 cup or 250mL (8.45 fluid ounces) full cream milk (4% fat)
\n1 tsp vanilla essence<\/p>\n

Place the butter and dry ingredients into the bowl of an electric mixer and whisk until it resembles fine bread crumbs. \u00a0Place the wet ingredients in another bowl and beat with a fork until well combined.<\/p>\n

Add half of the wet mix into the crumb mix and beat for 30 seconds with the electric mixer on slow speed, add the remaining wet ingredients and mix for a further 30 seconds or until just combined\u00a0(do not over mix).<\/p>\n

Put a spoon of cake mixture into the bottom of 12 cupcake cases. Add a 3D mickey brownie shape (watch the video below for a demonstration of how to make these) then top with more cupcake mixture. Bake in the oven for approximately 15 minutes at 180C (356 degrees Fahrenheit).<\/p>\n

Frost with buttercream (click to open the buttercream recipes and flavors post<\/a>). Top with your mickey logo chocolate decorations (these are demonstrated in the video for info on how to temper chocolate and what chocolate to use click here<\/a>).<\/p>\n
