Spring is here!
I’m loving the gorgeous
greens, pinks, and purples
popping up everywhere.
It’s been very inspiring to bake something sweet.
I came up with this brown sugar cake recipe
and topped it with maple buttercream.
It sings S P R I N G!
The deliciousness multiplies x1000 when served warm.
Brown Sugar Cupcakes
1/2 cup Butter
1 1/2 cups Brown Sugar, packed
2 Eggs
1 tsp Vanilla
1 cup Milk
2 cups Flour
1 tsp Salt
1 T Baking Powder
Preheat oven to 350. Line cupcake pan with cupcake liners. In a medium bowl, combine dry ingredients. Cream together butter and brown sugar on high power for two minutes. Add eggs, one at a time and mix until combined. Add vanilla and mix. Add milk and then dry ingredients, one at a time in three parts, starting with the milk and mixing just slightly after each addition. Drop batter into cupcake liners and bake 18-20 min or until an inserted toothpick is removed dry. Let cupcakes cool for five minutes and remove from pan to a cooling rack to cool completely. Frost with maple buttercream (recipe below).
Maple Buttercream Frosting
1 cup Butter, softened
5 cups Confectioner’s Sugar
1/4 cup Pure Maple Syrup
1 T Heavy Cream (or milk)
1 tsp Vanilla
1/4 tsp Salt
Add all ingredients except sugar to mixer and mix on medium speed. Add sugar to desired consistency.
These are so pretty- I love the springy colors! We had snow this morning, but thankfully it melted quickly. Cupcakes like these remind me that warmer weather can't be too far away! 🙂
