Dreamy Spring Cupcakes

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).
