Shoofly Cupcakes
Shoofly cupcakes are my cupcake interpretation of shoofly pie. Shoofly cupcakes are sticky sweet cupcakes made with sugar syrup and brown sugar crumbs. They are best served warm, à la mode or topped with whipped cream.

Instructions
Crumb Crust Instructions
In a small mixing bowl, mix all of the crumb ingredients together. I do this part by hand. The crumbs will be small and loose, like fine breadcrumbs.
Set two tablespoons of crumbs aside to use in the whipped cream.
Syrup Filling Instructions
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together all of the syrup filling ingredients.
Cupcake Instructions
Preheat oven to 400 F.
Fill the cupcake liners one third full with packed down crumbs.
Pour about 3 tablespoons of the syrup over the crumbs. I used four tablespoons on mine and some of them overflowed in the oven.
Top the syrup with another layer of crumbs.
Bake for 10 minutes.
Lower heat to 350 F and bake for another 20 minutes.
Whipped Cream Instructions
Whip heavy whipping cream until it looks like whipped cream.
Mix in crumbs and sugar.
Pipe on warm cupcakes and enjoy!
