Chocolate Malt Cupcakes, moist malt chocolate cupcakes with malted milk chocolate buttercream frosting.    For those who love malted milkshakes, you will enjoy this delicious cupcake.


Celebrating birthdays is one of my favorite things to do with my grandchildren.  I am always listening and looking for the recipes to make for their birthdays.  

One day my Grandson, Gabriel was sitting next to me while I was on Pinterest and spotted these Chocolate Malt Cupcakes pinned from  Your Cup of Cake.  

He remarked that he wanted these for his birthday and he would come back months later and say "remember those cupcakes we saw, I still want them for my birthday". 

Needless to say, he was thrilled when he saw them on the table for his birthday this past week.




We celebrated Gabriel's 11th birthday at a State Park in Daingerfield next to where we live.  

We cut a watermelon and had these cute cupcakes that were the star attraction.  

There are a nice swimming area and picnic tables under a lot of shady Pine Trees.
