A few days ago I shared a delicious Churro Bites recipe with you all. And today I am sharing an even better Churro Cupcakes recipe! It’s like when you take one dessert to the next level, and that is what I LOVE to do in the baking world.
This fluffy and moist cinnamon sugar cupcake base is topped with sweet, creamy cinnamon infused cream cheese frosting. Then topped with a homemade dark chocolate ganache to balance out some of the sweetness of the cupcake. Of course I finished this cupcake with a churro bite on top.
I call this churro cupcakes specifically “churros and chocolate cupcakes” because it reminds me of my favorite days studying abroad in Barcelona, Spain. Stopping by a cafe and enjoying a relaxing day with friends will nibbling on some churros and chocolate.
