PEANUT BUTTER CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a cupcake pan with paper liners, or grease and flour cups.
• In a large bowl, mix together the brown sugar, shortening and peanut butter until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. Combine the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt; stir into the batter alternately with the milk. Spoon into the prepared muffin cups.
• Bake for 15 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven, until the top of the cupcakes spring back when lightly pressed. Cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.

EASY HOMEMADE VANILLA CUPCAKES RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F (176°C) and prepare a cupcake pan with cupcake liners.
• Combine the flour, baking powder and salt in a medium sized bowl and set aside.
• Add the butter, sugar, oil and vanilla extract to a large mixer bowl and beat together until light in color and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Do not skimp on the creaming time.
• Now it's time to add the eggs. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing until mostly combined after each. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed to be sure all ingredients are well incorporated.
• Add half of the dry ingredients to the batter and mix until mostly combined.
• Slowly add the milk and mix until well combined. The batter will look curdled, but that's ok.
• Add the remaining dry ingredients and mix until well combined and smooth. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed to be sure all ingredients are well incorporated. Do not over mix the batter.
• Fill the cupcake liners about 3/4 full and bake for 15-18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
• Remove cupcakes from the oven and place on a cooling rack to cool.
• Add the butter to a large mixer bowl and beat until smooth.
• Carefully pour in about half of the powdered sugar and mix until smooth and well combined.
• Add the vanilla extract and 1-2 tablespoons of the water or milk and the salt to the frosting and mix until well combined.
• Add the remaining powdered sugar and mix until smooth. Add additional milk or water as needed to get the right consistency.
• Pipe the frosting onto the cupcakes. I used Ateco tip 844.
• Cupcakes are best when stored well covered for 2-3 days.

THE BEST BUTTERBEER CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 muffin pans with about 18 paper liners; set aside.
• In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, eggs, oil, vanilla creme soda, brown sugar and dry pudding mix. Beat with an electric mixer for about 2 minutes or until combined. Portion the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling about 3/4 full.
• Bake the cupcakes for approx. 15-17 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean or with moist, not wet, crumbs. Cool completely.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the butter, butterscotch sauce, brown sugar, butter and vanilla extracts with the paddle attachment until creamy, about 30 seconds. Add in the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, until frosting is light and fluffy, streaming in the heavy cream if needed (if frosting is too thick).
• Pipe the frosting onto the cooled cupcakes. If piping the frosting as high as in my photos, you may want to double the recipe. Drizzle with caramel or butterscotch sauce.

• Spoon into the prepared cupcake liners filling each about 2/3 to 3/4 full. You should end up with about 16 cupcakes total. If you only make 12 cupakes, then you've filled the liners too full.
• Bake for 20-24 minutes, or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
• In a large bowl beat the butter until fluffy.
• Then beat in the peanut butter until smooth.
• Add in the vanilla extract and 2 cups powdered sugar. Beat together on low speed until combined.

• Broil the tops of the cupcakes in the preheated oven until coconut is lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes.
