Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large egg yolks (or 1 egg)
  • 45 grams granulated sugar
  • 30 grams cornstarch
  • 240 mL whole milk
  • 42 grams salted butter
  • 2 tsp vanilla bean paste (or extract)
  • 180 grams cake flour
  • 200 grams granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 113 grams sour cream
  • 120 mL heavy whipping cream
  • 1 large banana
  • 15 mL lemon juice
  • 13 vanilla wafers
  • 2 vanilla wafers (crushed)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the pudding filling by whisking together egg yolks, sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a saucepan. Gradually add milk while whisking continuously. Cook over medium heat until thickened, then stir in butter and vanilla. Allow it to cool.
  2. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a cupcake tin with liners.
  3. In a bowl, whisk together cake flour, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, cream together granulated sugar, butter, and oil until fluffy. Add the egg, sour cream, milk, and mix well.
  4. Gradually combine dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Pour batter into cupcake liners and bake for about 18 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool completely.
  5. Once cooled, cut a hole in each cupcake and fill with prepared pudding.
  6. Whip heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until soft peaks form; pipe onto cupcakes. Garnish with banana slices and crushed vanilla wafers.
