Anise/Licorice Cupcakes With Fluffy White Frosting image

My Dad requested t cupcakes for his Birthday and want then to be licorice flavored with some bits of licorice on top. I did use real licorice root steeped in warm milk but for ease I'm posting this recipe using anise oil-extract. If you want to make it that way steep 1/4 ounce of the root in the warmed 1 cup milk, blend in a blender and let steep for 15 minutes don't forget to strain it.

FLUFFY WHITE FROSTING



Fluffy White Frosting image

This is a favorite of my family's (especially my 16 year old--the only frosting she will ever make). It is in response to a request on the boards. If you are planning to use this on a chocolate cake, clear vanilla will produce a stark white frosting that contrasts beautifully with the chocolate. This is a light, fluffy frosting and doesn't over-power the flavor of any cake that you choose to top with it. My daughters also like to spread it on graham crackers for 'graham cracker sandwiches'.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start baking, measure and prepare all of your ingredients. This will make the baking process more efficient and prevent any scrambling.
  • Use Room Temperature Ingredients: This is especially important for the butter and eggs. Room temperature ingredients mix together more evenly and create a smoother batter.
  • Cream the Butter and Sugar Until Light and Fluffy: This will incorporate air into the batter and make the cupcakes light and airy. Beat the butter and sugar together for at least 2 minutes.
  • Add the Eggs One at a Time: This will help prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Do Not Overmix the Batter: Overmixing can make the cupcakes tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Fill the Cupcake Liners 2/3 Full: This will prevent the cupcakes from overflowing.
  • Bake the Cupcakes Until a Toothpick Inserted into the Center Comes Out Clean: This will ensure that the cupcakes are fully baked.
  • Let the Cupcakes Cool Completely Before Frosting: This will help the frosting to set properly.
  • Use a Star Tip to Pipe the Frosting: This will create a beautiful, professional-looking finish.
