Ingredients

Units Scale

Cupcakes:

  • 1 1/2 cups flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup milk

Buttercream Frosting:

  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 3 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 tbsp milk
  • Fresh edible flowers (for decoration)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  2. Prepare the batter: In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, cream butter and sugar until fluffy. Beat in eggs and vanilla extract.
  3. Combine ingredients: Alternately mix in dry ingredients and milk, stirring until smooth.
  4. Bake: Fill cupcake liners ¾ full and bake for 18–20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool completely.
  5. Make the frosting: Beat butter until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar and milk, mixing until light and fluffy.
  6. Pipe the frosting: Use a piping bag with a star tip to create delicate swirls on top of each cupcake.
  7. Decorate: Gently place fresh edible flowers on top for a natural, rustic finish.

Notes

  • Choose safe, edible flowers such as pansies, violets, nasturtiums, or chamomile.
  • For a more earthy, rustic touch, use rosemary sprigs or thyme as decoration.
  • If making in advance, add flowers just before serving to keep them fresh.
  • Pair with a honey or lemon buttercream for a unique flavor.
