AMY SEDARIS'S VANILLA CUPCAKES



Amy Sedaris's Vanilla Cupcakes image

Amy Sedaris, so I hear, sells her cupcakes in New York City bakeries. I found this recipe for Amy's cupcakes on the web, but I don't remember where. This was my first time making cupcakes from scratch and I have to say, I was quite proud of the results. I gave them away to friends and family, and everyone loved them. March 2, 2011 Hi, guys! It was several years ago that I found and posted this recipe. Since then, Amy Sedaris has published a cookbook which contains her recipe for vanilla cupcakes. It's not the same as this one. :( Like I said before, I don't remember where I found this recipe, but I remember that the person who posted it was very certain about it being Amy Sedaris's recipe.

Time 1h5m

Yield 24 cupcakes

Number Of Ingredients 18

1/2 cup butter
4 egg whites
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 cup buttermilk or 3/4 cup sour milk
1/3 cup maraschino cherry juice
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
12 maraschino cherries, halved
1/2 cup butter, softened
4 cups powdered sugar
3 tablespoons maraschino cherry juice or 3 tablespoons milk
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
milk
maraschino cherry, with stems (optional)

Steps:

  • Allow butter and egg whites to stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, line twenty-four 2-1/2-inch muffin cups with paper bake cups (or coat with cooking spray). In a medium bowl stir together flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda. In a 2-cup glass measuring cup combine buttermilk and cherry juice; set aside.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a large mixing bowl beat butter with an electric mixer on medium to high speed for 30 seconds. Add sugar, vanilla, and almond extract; beat until combined. Add egg whites, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Alternately add flour mixture and buttermilk mixture to beaten mixture, beating on low speed after each addition just until combined.
  • Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full. Use the back of a spoon to smooth out batter in cups. Press a cherry half into batter in each cup.
  • Bake for 15 to 18 minutes or until tops spring back when lightly touched. Cool cupcakes in muffin cups on wire racks for 5 minutes. Remove cupcakes from muffin cups. Cool completely on wire racks.
  • For the frosting: In a large mixing bowl beat butter with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth. Gradually add 1 cup of the powdered sugar, beating well. Beat in maraschino cherry juice and almond extract. Gradually beat in additional powdered sugar. If necessary, beat in additional juice or milk, 1 teaspoon at a time, until frosting reaches a spreading consistency. Makes 2 cups frosting.
  • Using a pastry bag fitted with a large star tip, pipe Cherry-Almond Butter Frosting over tops of cupcakes. If desired, top with cherries. Makes 24 (2-1/2-inch) cupcakes.

Tips:

  • Use room temperature ingredients, as they will mix together more easily and result in a smoother batter.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, this will help to incorporate air into the batter and make the cupcakes light and airy.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  • Sift the flour and baking powder together before adding it to the batter, this will help to prevent lumps.
  • Do not overmix the batter, as this can result in tough cupcakes.
  • Bake the cupcakes at a moderate temperature (350°F) until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting them, this will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
  • Use a piping bag or a ziplock bag with the corner snipped off to frost the cupcakes, this will help to create a smooth and even frosting layer.

Conclusion:

Amy Sedaris's Vanilla Cupcakes are a delicious and classic treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are light and airy, with a delicate vanilla flavor. The frosting is rich and creamy, and it complements the cupcakes perfectly. These cupcakes are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
