Sensuous Favourite Banana Pudding Cupcakes

These real delicious beauties begin with a very dense and vanilla cake (also with a flaky vanilla wafer baked in,) and then they are filled with a very generous portion of yummy banana pudding. The actual frosting is essentially very lightly sweetened whipped cream, which is made more stable for piping.

Ingredients For the cupcakes:

3 cups all-purpose flour (12.75 oz)
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
1 1/2 cups sugar
4 large eggs
2 tablespoons pure vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups buttermilk
24 vanilla wafer cookies (or about 60 minis)

For the banana pudding:

2 1/4 cups whole milk
2/3 cup sugar
3 egg yolks
1/4 cup cornstarch
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 tablespoon butter
2 bananas

2 cups heavy whipping cream
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Banana slices and vanilla wafers for garnish (optional)
