Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 115 grams unsalted butter
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 150 grams all-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons whole milk
- 200 grams powdered sugar (for frosting)
- 100 grams unsalted butter (for frosting)
- 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract (for frosting)
- 2 tablespoons milk (for frosting)
- as needed edible glitter or sprinkles
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a 12-hole muffin tin with cupcake liners.
In a large mixing bowl, beat 115g of unsalted butter and 150g of granulated sugar together until pale and creamy.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 150g of all-purpose flour, 1.5 teaspoons of baking powder, 0.5 teaspoons of ground cinnamon, and 0.25 teaspoons of ground nutmeg.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the butter mixture, alternating with 2 tablespoons of milk. Mix until just combined and smooth.
Spoon the batter evenly into the cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 16–18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let cool completely on a wire rack.
For the frosting, beat 100g of unsalted butter in a bowl until light and fluffy. Add 200g of powdered sugar gradually, followed by 0.5 teaspoons of vanilla extract and 2 tablespoons of milk. Beat until smooth and creamy.
Once the cupcakes have cooled, spread or pipe the frosting onto each one.
Decorate the cupcakes with edible glitter or festive sprinkles to give them a magical Christmas touch.
