BROWN SUGAR CUPCAKES WITH BROWN BUTTER GLAZE

Ok, so I know I don't like Martha and all, so I guess I should stop submitting her recipes. It's really her personality that grates on me, but she does have quite a few good recipes up her sleeve, and so I can't help but share when I come across one not already posted. This one is a very moist cupcake, with a nice durable frosting, which makes them great to transport. The brown sugar flavor makes them stand out from other cupcakes, and even though they are homemade, and taste like it, they are not overly difficult or time consuming to make.

4 eggs
3/4 cup buttermilk
3 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups confectioners sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 -4 tablespoons milk

Steps:

  • Soften 2 sticks butter.
  • Preheat oven to 325°F.
  • Line muffin pan with paper liners.

Tips:

  • For the perfect moist cupcakes, make sure to cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a tender and airy crumb.
  • Use dark brown sugar for a richer flavor in both the cupcakes and the glaze. Dark brown sugar has a higher molasses content than light brown sugar, which gives it a deeper flavor and a chewier texture.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can develop the gluten in the flour, resulting in tough cupcakes. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cupcakes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking will dry out the cupcakes, so keep an eye on them in the oven.
  • While the cupcakes are cooling, make the brown butter glaze. This glaze is simple to make and adds a delicious richness to the cupcakes.
  • To brown the butter, heat it in a small saucepan over medium heat. Swirl the pan occasionally until the butter turns a deep golden brown and smells nutty. Remove from heat and let cool slightly before adding the powdered sugar and milk.
  • Dip the tops of the cupcakes into the glaze while they are still warm. This will help the glaze set and give the cupcakes a glossy finish.

Conclusion:

These brown sugar pound cupcakes with brown butter glaze are the perfect dessert for any occasion. They are moist, flavorful, and have a delicious brown sugar flavor that is perfectly complemented by the brown butter glaze. Whether you are making them for a party or just for a special treat, these cupcakes are sure to be a hit.
