Yield Makes 28

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups cake flour (not self- rising), sifted
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon, plus 1/2 teaspoon for dusting
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
1 3/4 cups sugar, plus 2 tablespoons for dusting
4 large eggs, room temperature
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups milk
Seven-Minute Frosting for Cupcakes

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line standard muffin tins with paper liners. Sift together both flours, baking powder, salt, and 1 tablespoon cinnamon.
  • With an electric mixer on medium-high speed, cream butter and sugar until pale and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating until each is incorporated, scraping down sides of bowl as needed. Beat in vanilla. Reduce speed to low. Add flour mixture in three batches, alternating with two additions of milk, and beating until combined after each.
  • Divide batter evenly among lined cups, filling each three-quarters full. Bake, rotating tins halfway through, until a cake tester inserted in centers comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Transfer tins to wire racks to cool completely before removing cupcakes. Cupcakes can be stored up to 2 days at room temperature, or frozen up to 2 months, in airtight containers.
  • To finish, combine remaining 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon and 2 tablespoons sugar. Using a pastry bag fitted with a large plain tip (Ateco No. 809 or Wilton No. 1A), pipe frosting on each cupcake: Hold bag over cupcake with tip just above top, and squeeze to create a dome of frosting, then release pressure and pull up to form a peak. Using a small, fine sieve, dust peaks with cinnamon-sugar. Cupcakes are best eaten the day they are frosted; keep at room temperature until ready to serve.

Tips:

  • Measure ingredients accurately: Using the right amount of ingredients is crucial for successful baking. Invest in a good kitchen scale to measure ingredients by weight, as this is more precise than measuring by volume.
  • Use room temperature ingredients: When a recipe calls for room temperature ingredients, it means that they should be at about 68-75°F (20-24°C). This allows them to blend together more easily and evenly, resulting in a smoother batter or dough.
  • Cream butter and sugar thoroughly: This step is essential for creating a light and fluffy texture in your cupcakes. Cream the butter and sugar together until they are light and fluffy, and the sugar has dissolved.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can result in tough, dense cupcakes. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined, then stop.
  • Fill cupcake liners only 2/3 full: This will allow the cupcakes to rise properly without overflowing the liners.
  • Bake the cupcakes at the right temperature: The temperature of your oven can affect the texture and doneness of your cupcakes. Make sure to preheat your oven to the correct temperature before baking the cupcakes.
  • Don't overbake the cupcakes: Overbaked cupcakes will be dry and crumbly. Bake the cupcakes for the amount of time specified in the recipe, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting and sliding off the cupcakes.

Snickerdoodle cupcakes are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. By following these tips, you can ensure that your snickerdoodle cupcakes turn out perfect every time.
