BROWN SUGAR CUPCAKES WITH BROWN BUTTER GLAZE



Brown Sugar Cupcakes With Brown Butter Glaze image

Ok, so I know I don't like Martha and all, so I guess I should stop submitting her recipes. It's really her personality that grates on me, but she does have quite a few good recipes up her sleeve, and so I can't help but share when I come across one not already posted. This one is a very moist cupcake, with a nice durable frosting, which makes them great to transport. The brown sugar flavor makes them stand out from other cupcakes, and even though they are homemade, and taste like it, they are not overly difficult or time consuming to make.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before starting, measure and prep all ingredients and preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). This will ensure smooth and efficient baking.
  • Use Room Temperature Ingredients: Bring eggs, butter, and milk to room temperature before mixing. This helps them blend more evenly and creates a smoother batter.
  • Cream Butter and Sugars Thoroughly: Creaming the butter and sugars together until light and fluffy is essential for a tender and flavorful cupcake. Use an electric mixer on medium speed for 2-3 minutes, or until the mixture is pale yellow and has increased in volume.
  • Add Eggs One at a Time: Gradually add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This prevents the batter from curdling.
  • Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing can result in tough cupcakes. Once the ingredients are well combined, stop mixing.
  • Fill Cupcake Liners 2/3 Full: To ensure even baking and a domed top, fill cupcake liners about 2/3 full.
  • Bake Cupcakes Until a Toothpick Inserted in the Center Comes Out Clean: Baking time may vary depending on your oven, so keep an eye on the cupcakes and adjust the baking time if needed.
  • Let Cupcakes Cool Completely Before Frosting: Allow the cupcakes to cool completely before frosting to prevent the frosting from melting.
  • Make the Glaze Ahead of Time: The glaze can be made up to 2 days in advance. Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator, then bring it to room temperature before using.

These Brown Sugar Pound Cupcakes with Brown Butter Glaze offer a delightful combination of flavors and textures.
