Yield Makes 2 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup whole milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
3/4 stick (6 tablespoons) unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar
1 large egg
1 3/4 cups vanilla buttercream
Various food colorings* (optional)
Special equipment: 2 mini-muffin pans, each with 24 (1 3/4-inch) muffin cups; 24 foil or paper mini-muffin liners

Steps:

  • Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 350°F. Line muffin cups with liners.
  • Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Stir together milk and vanilla in a small bowl.
  • Beat together butter and sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer at medium-high speed until pale and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Add egg and beat until just combined. Reduce speed to low, then add flour and milk mixtures alternately in batches, beginning and ending with flour and mixing until just combined.
  • Divide batter among muffin cups, filling them two-thirds full, and bake until tops are pale golden and a wooden pick or skewer inserted in centers comes out clean, about 15 minutes. Invert cupcakes onto a rack and cool completely.
  • For each color, transfer 1/4 cup buttercream to a separate small bowl and tint with food coloring (if using), then frost tops of cupcakes.

These cupcakes are a great way to use up leftover cake mix. I always have a box of cake mix in my pantry, so it's nice to have a recipe that I can use it for.

These cupcakes were a disappointment. They were dry and flavorless, and the frosting was too sweet.

I've made these cupcakes several times and they're always a hit! They're so moist and flavorful, and the frosting is to die for.

Not bad, but not great either. The cupcakes were a little dry and the frosting was too sweet.

These cupcakes were a little too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cupcakes didn't turn out as moist as I would have liked. I think I might have overbaked them.
