Sweet Milk Cupcakes
A lightened spin on pastel de leche-style Mexican sweet milk cupcakes, built on condensed milk and skim milk for that tres leches-adjacent flavour, with whey protein folded into the crumb and a tangy Greek yogurt-condensed milk topping standing in for heavy frosting.

Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 175°C and line 2 holes of a 6-hole muffin tin with paper cases; fill the remaining holes halfway with water.
2
Sift the cake flour, baking powder and ground cinnamon together into a bowl.
3
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg and sugar with a hand mixer for 1-2 minutes until pale and slightly thickened.
4
Whisk in the condensed milk, skim milk, vegetable oil and vanilla extract until smooth.
5
Fold in the whey protein isolate, then fold in the dry flour mixture in two additions until just combined with no lumps.
6
Divide the batter evenly between the two lined holes, filling each about two-thirds full.
7
Bake for 16-18 minutes until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean and the tops spring back lightly.
8
Cool the cupcakes in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely, about 20 minutes.
9
Once fully cooled, whisk the drained Greek yogurt until smooth and spoon or pipe a small dollop onto each cupcake.
10
Drizzle the extra condensed milk over the yogurt topping and finish with a light dusting of ground cinnamon just before serving.
