Description
Fluffy Buttercream Cupcakes melt in your mouth and are simple to make at home. Soft cupcakes meet smooth, dreamy buttercream for every occasion.
Ingredients
Cupcakes:
- 1/2 cup margarine, softened
- 3/4 cup caster sugar (super fine sugar, not icing sugar)
- 1 1/4 cups flour (you can grind sugar in a blender if needed)
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Milk, enough to get a soft consistency
Buttercream Icing:
- 1 cup good-quality salted butter, room temperature
- 4 cups icing sugar
- 3 teaspoons vanilla extract (clear vanilla if you want it whiter)
- 4–5 tablespoons coffee cream (18% and up)
Instructions
Cupcakes:
- Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F) and line a cupcake tray.
- Cream 1/2 cup margarine and 3/4 cup caster sugar together until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 2 large eggs, one at a time, making sure each is fully mixed before adding the next.
- Sift 1 1/4 cups of flour and 2 teaspoons of baking powder into the mixture.
- Add a splash of milk and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, mixing until you get a soft, spoonable batter.
- Spoon the batter into cupcake liners, filling about 2/3 full.
- Bake in the middle of the oven for 15–20 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Let them cool completely before icing.
Buttercream Icing:
- Place 1 cup salted butter in a mixing bowl.
- Using a paddle attachment, whip until creamy and fluffy.
- Add 4 cups icing sugar gradually, one cup at a time, beating well each time.
- Stir in 3 teaspoons vanilla extract.
- Add 4–5 tablespoons of coffee cream slowly, checking consistency.
- Less cream gives stiffer icing; more makes it fluffier. Whip again until smooth.
- Spread or pipe onto cooled cupcakes.
- Enjoy immediately, or store in an airtight container for later.
