Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Cupcake Bases

In a large mixing bowl, combine **all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt**. Mix them well to ensure that there are no lumps. In another bowl, whisk together **eggs, milk, and melted butter**, and then pour this mixture into the dry ingredients.

Stir gently until just combined; it’s okay if there are a few small lumps. Be careful not to overmix as that can create a dense texture.

Step 2

Divide the Batter for Baking

Preheat your oven to **180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit)**. Line cupcake trays with paper liners and pour the batter evenly into the cups, filling each about **2/3 full**.

Bake in the preheated oven for **20-25 minutes** or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cupcakes to cool completely on a wire rack before filling.

Step 3

Prepare the Fillings

While the cupcakes are cooling, prepare your fillings. For the **Almond-Coconut**, blend together the **coconut cream** and chopped **roasted almonds** until well mixed.

For the **Honey Cake**, mix the **sour cream** with the **berry confit** until smooth. For the **Chocolate-Caramel-Banana**, combine the **chocolate cream cheese** and **caramel**, and layer it with **sliced bananas**.

Step 4

Assemble the Layered Desserts

Once the cupcakes are cool, carefully cut them in half horizontally to create two layers. Place the base layer on a cup or dessert glass and spread a generous amount of your desired filling. Top with the other half of the cupcake and repeat until all layers are filled.

You can create various combinations by mixing and matching your chosen fillings to cater to different tastes!
