Yield 24 cupcakes

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

2/3 cup butter or margarine, softened
1 cup light brown sugar, firmly packed
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon almond or vanilla extract
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups milk
24 unwrapped small chocolate eggs
flavored or regular confectioners' sugar

Steps:

To make cupcakes: Heat oven to 350°. Grease 24 medium muffin tins or line with paper baking cups. Mix butter, sugars, eggs and extract in large mixing bowl until blended. Beat on high speed, scraping bowl occasionally, 5 minutes. On low speed, beat in flour, baking powder and salt alternately with milk. To hide surprise: Fill muffin cups one-third full and place unwrapped chocolate egg in center of each. Top with remaining batter, until two-thirds full. Bake 18-20 minutes or until top springs back when touched. Cool. To decorate: Use flavored confectioners' sugar to make lemon, chocolate or strawberry frostings. Decorate as desired.

Tips:

Use room temperature ingredients for even mixing and baking.
Cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy for a smooth batter.
Gradually add eggs one at a time to prevent curdling.
Sift flour and other dry ingredients to ensure even distribution and prevent lumps.
Do not overmix the batter as this can result in tough cupcakes.
Fill cupcake liners only 2/3 full to allow room for rising.
Bake cupcakes in a preheated oven to ensure even baking.
Allow cupcakes to cool completely before frosting.
