Units Scale

Cupcake Batter

  • 1 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Pink food coloring

Topping

  • Buttercream frosting
  • Sprinkles (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake pan with liners.
  2. Cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with milk, and mix until just combined.
  6. If desired, add a few drops of pink food coloring until the color is evenly distributed.
  7. Fill cupcake liners about 2/3 full with the batter.
  8. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the cupcakes cool completely.
  10. Frost with buttercream frosting and top with sprinkles if using.

Notes

  • Letting the cupcakes cool completely before frosting ensures the buttercream does not melt.
  • Adjust the amount of pink food coloring to achieve your desired shade.
