Of course, a party cupcake isn’t a party cupcake without a fun cake topper, so I whipped up these cute cactus cupcake picks from colored cardstock, hot glue and toothpicks. Easy peasy!
To make churro cupcakes, start with a boxed vanilla cake mix (I used Betty Crocker), and prepare the batter as directed. Add 2 tsp. of cinnamon to the batter along with 1 tbsp. of vanilla extract. Divide batter into baking paper lined cupcake tins.
In a small bowl, combine 1/3 cup of Sugar In The Raw turbinado sugar (coarse grain) and 1 tsp. cinnamon. Sprinkle a generous amount on top of the cupcake batter, and bake as directed on the box.
Top each cinnamon vanilla cupcake with my favorite cinnamon cream cheese icing and another generous sprinkle of the cinnamon sugar mixture. Sooooo good!
YUM! Your family and friends are going to LOVE these delicious churro cupcakes! Fluffy and soft with a sweet cinnamon crunch on top – what’s not to love?!
