Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 box Vanilla cupcake mix
- 2 pieces Eggs (for the cupcake mix)
- 0.5 cup Vegetable oil (for the cupcake mix)
- 0.75 cup Water (for the cupcake mix)
- 1 box Brownie mix
- 2 pieces Eggs (for the brownie mix)
- 0.25 cup Vegetable oil (for the brownie mix)
- 0.25 cup Water (for the brownie mix)
- 0.5 cup Yellow frosting
- 0.5 cup Red frosting
- 0.5 cup Green frosting
- 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake tray with 12 liners.
Prepare the vanilla cupcake mix according to the instructions on the box, mixing it with eggs, oil, and water. Fill the cupcake liners halfway with the batter.
Bake the cupcakes for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let them cool completely.
Meanwhile, prepare the brownie mix according to the instructions on the box, combining eggs, oil, and water. Pour the brownie batter into a greased 9x13-inch baking pan.
Bake the brownies for 25-28 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let them cool completely, then use a round cookie cutter (about the same diameter as the cupcakes) to cut out 12 circular brownie 'patties.'
Carefully slice each cupcake in half horizontally to create a top and bottom bun. Brush the top half lightly with water and sprinkle with sesame seeds to mimic a hamburger bun.
Assemble the cupcakes by layering one brownie 'patty' between the top and bottom cupcake halves. Use yellow frosting for 'cheese,' red frosting for 'ketchup,' and green frosting for 'lettuce,' piping each around the brownie for a realistic look.
Gently press the top bun (with sesame seeds) onto the frosting layers to complete the hamburger cupcake.
Serve and enjoy your adorable Hamburger Cupcakes!
