Cake Batter Macarons

June 2, 2014

BBC-Cake-Batter-Macarons-1Are there any two things that are more popular than cake batter-flavored sweets and macarons? They might be the two things I see most when browsing Pinterest. And with all the Pinterest browsing I do, it was only a matter of time before I combined the two things to create cake batter macarons.

BBC-Cake-Batter-Macarons-2I turned to my favorite macaron recipe (by Martha Stewart of course) and just jazzed it up a bit so that they would pass as cake-batter-esq. The first key to any cake batter treat is the sprinkles. I sprinkled on a few to the tops of freshly piped macarons before they hardened (you have to leave macaroons out for at least 15 minutes so that they harden slightly).

BBC-Cake-Batter-Macarons-4The next key to get that cake batter flavor is the filling. Macarons by themselves don’t have a ton of flavor. I did add vanilla, but most of the flavor in macarons comes from the filling. I altered a basic butter cream recipe by adding in actual cake mix. I happen to have some left over Trader Joes French Vanilla cake mix (which is the best, btw!). I whipped up the cake mix with butter and some additional powdered sugar. I also threw in some sprinkles for good measure (they are being shy in these pictures).

BBC-Cake-Batter-Macarons-7I loved how these turned out. They are so stinkin’ cute, aren’t they? I found these baking cups in the pantry that are the perfect size for the little cookie. These would be perfect to make for a birthday party instead of cupcakes or cake, don’t cha think?
