Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.75 cup Milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1.5 cups Powdered sugar
- 3 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 3 drops Red food coloring
- 2 tablespoons Mini heart sprinkles
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a heart-shaped cupcake pan or use paper liners in a regular cupcake tray.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs, one at a time, and beat well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In another mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Alternately add the dry ingredients and milk to the wet mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
Spoon the batter into the heart-shaped molds, filling each cavity about two-thirds full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Allow the cakes to cool in the molds for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
While the cakes cool, prepare the glaze. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, heavy cream, and red food coloring until smooth. Adjust consistency with more cream or powdered sugar, if needed.
Once the cakes have cooled, drizzle the glaze over each cake, allowing it to drip down the sides for a charming effect.
Decorate with mini heart sprinkles for a festive touch.
Serve the cakes on decorative plates to resemble a 'little house' setup, or stack two cakes with glaze in between for a layered look.
