Categories     Dessert     Bake     Quick & Easy     Cupcake     Molasses

Yield 24 cupcakes

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 3/4 cups cake flour (not self-rising)
1 1/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
2 cups sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
2 sticks unsalted butter, cut into cubes
4 large eggs
1 cup whole milk
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Old Fashioned Frosting, recipe follows

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Line cupcake pans with paper liners; set aside. Combine in a bowl both flours, sugar, baking powder and salt. Mix on low speed until combined for about 3 minutes. Add in cubed butter, mixing until just coated with flour. Add eggs 1 at a time until combined. Slowly add milk and vanilla to batter until completely mixed scraping down the bowl as you mix. Scoop batter into baking cups filling about 2/3 full. Bake until a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean, 17 to 20 minutes. Cool and decorate with Old Fashioned Frosting.

Tips:

  • Use room temperature ingredients: This will help your cupcakes bake more evenly and give them a lighter texture.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help incorporate air into the batter, making your cupcakes light and airy.
  • Gradually add the eggs one at a time: This will help prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Do not overmix the batter: Overmixing can make your cupcakes tough and dense.
  • Fill the cupcake liners only 2/3 full: This will prevent the cupcakes from overflowing during baking.
  • Bake the cupcakes at the correct temperature: The ideal temperature for baking cupcakes is 350°F (175°C).
  • Do not overbake the cupcakes: Overbaking can make your cupcakes dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting: This will help prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion:

Old-fashioned cupcakes are a classic dessert that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a little practice, you can make perfect old-fashioned cupcakes that will be the hit of your next party or gathering.
