- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika (plus extra for garnish)
- 3 large eggs
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup milk
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 cup finely sliced green onions

Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes
Total Time: 45 minutes
Equipment:
- Cupcake liners
- Cupcake pan
- Mixing bowls
- Whisk
- Oven
Servings: 12 cupcakes
Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) or 320°F (160°C) if using a convection oven. Line your cupcake pan with festive cupcake liners.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, oil, milk, and apple cider vinegar until well combined. Add salt to the mixture.
3. Mix the baking powder with the flour, then sift this dry mixture over the wet ingredients. Stir until just combined, taking care not to overmix.
4. Fold in the green onions and diced salami (or your choice of bacon or ham) to the batter. If desired, add shredded cheese for extra richness.
5. Stir in half a teaspoon of paprika, then divide the batter among the cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full.
6. Place the filled cupcake pan in the oven and bake for approximately 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.
7. While the cupcakes bake, prepare the Obatzda spread according to the recipe provided on My German Recipes' YouTube channel and allow it to cool.
8. Once the cupcakes are done, let them cool completely before topping each with a generous dollop of the prepared Obatzda.
9. Garnish with a mini pretzel pressed gently into the Obatzda, a slice of radish, a few chives, and a dusting of paprika for that extra touch of Bavarian flair.
10. Serve these Bavarian Obatzda-Style Cupcakes at your next Oktoberfest party and watch them disappear!
Cooking Tips:
- For a vegetarian option, omit the salami and add some chopped sun-dried tomatoes or roasted peppers.
- For additional flavor, experiment with different herbs like fresh dill or parsley mixed into the batter.
- Make sure not to overfill the cupcake liners to prevent overflow during baking.
