Description
Funfetti Vanilla Chocolate Cupcakes with Swiss Meringue Buttercream are light, fluffy, and topped with silky frosting. They’re just right for birthdays or anytime you want a little celebration.
Ingredients
Cupcakes:
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (good quality makes a difference)
- 1 3/4 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 cup milk
Swiss Meringue Buttercream:
- 20 oz powdered sugar (icing sugar)
- 4 oz egg whites (about 3-4 large eggs)
- 2 sticks unsalted butter (room temperature)
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
Cupcakes:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line a muffin tin with paper liners.
- In a medium bowl, beat the butter and sugar until creamy.
- Add eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla.
- In another bowl, whisk flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder together. Slowly add this to the wet mixture.
- Stir in the milk until the batter is smooth, but don’t overmix.
- Spoon into muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
- Bake for 22–25 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Let cool completely before frosting.
Buttercream:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together sugar, egg whites, and vanilla until combined.
- Beat on high for 8 minutes.
- The mixture will look a little glossy and thick, but not fluffy; that’s normal.
- Reduce to low speed and add butter in small chunks. It may look curdled or runny at first, but keep going.
- Once all the butter is in, crank the speed back to high and beat another 8 minutes until smooth and creamy.
- Chill slightly before frosting for the best texture.
Tip: Frost only when cupcakes are fully cooled.
