Fortune cookie cupcakes are a great dessert for Chinese New
Year as well as adding a little something extra to your Chinese food dinners.
These cupcakes are simple enough that anyone can bake them and the kids can
join in too by helping to write fortunes to put in the cupcakes.
Write out twenty fortunes with or without the kids' help and
wrap them in tin foil so that they do not burn during the baking process. Some
good fortunes could include things such as; "You will have a nice
day," "You will be very successful in every endeavor."
You Need:
- 1 box plain yellow cake mix
- 1 package vanilla instant pudding
- 1 1/4 cup milk
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tsp almond extract
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
Line 20 cupcake cavities with paper cups. This recipe makes
20 fortune cookie cupcakes. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Combine the cake mix, pudding mix, almond extract, milk, oil and eggs in a large mixing bowl. Blend with an electric mixer for 30 seconds on low. Stop the mixer and scrape the sides of the bowl with a spatula. Increase the mixer speed to medium and beat for another 2 minutes.
- Spoon 1/3 cup of the batter into each cup. Press a fortune into each cupcake with a toothpick or fork so that you can't see it any longer.
- Bake the cupcakes until golden brown and an inserted toothpick comes out clean- approximately 20-22 minutes. Allow the cupcakes to cool for 5 minutes in the pan and then remove to a wire rack. Dust with powdered sugar once the cupcakes are completely cool. These cupcakes do not require frosting.
