Ingredients  

Cupcakes

Frosting

  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 teaspoons coffee extract
  • 1/2 cup Oscar Mayer Thick Cut Bacon cooked and chopped (about 6 slices)

Instructions

Cupcakes

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a cupcake pan with liners and set aside. 
  • Whisk together 1 3/4 cups of the cake flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl and set aside. 
  • In a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment or a large bowl with a hand mixer, cream together the butter and the sugar for 2 minutes, scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula as needed. 
  • Add the egg whites, vanilla, and maple extracts to the sugar mixture and whip on medium-high speed until combined, then add in the sour cream and mix until combined. 
  • Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix on low speed just until combined. 
  • Slowly pour in the milk while mixing on low speed. The batter should be thick but not lumpy. 
  • In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup of bacon and the remaining 1 tablespoon of flour. Fold the bacon into the batter and use a 1/4 cup measuring cup to measure the batter into the cupcake liners. 
  • Bake the cupcakes for 18 to 22 minutes. When the cupcakes are done baking, transfer them to a cooling rack to cool completely before frosting. Bake of the remaining batter.

Frosting

  • In a large bowl or stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, combine the heavy cream, sugar, and coffee extract and whip on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Pipe the frosting onto the cooled cupcakes and top each cupcake with bits of bacon.
