Categories     Cupcakes

Time 3h

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 and 2/3 cups (197g) sifted all-purpose flour (spoon & leveled)
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted
1/4 cup (60g) yogurt or sour cream, at room temperature*
3/4 cup (180ml) buttermilk, at room temperature*
2 egg whites, room temperature
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon almond extract
6 ounces (170g) white chocolate, melted and slightly cooled*
1 cup (230g) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
2 cups (240g) confectioners' sugar
1/4 cup (60ml) heavy cream*
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
sprinkles, if desired

Steps:

  • Begin the recipe by melting the white chocolate for the frosting. I always melt pure chocolate by constantly stirring over low heat on the stove. If using a microwave, melt in 15 second increments - stirring after each until chocolate is melted and smooth. Set aside to cool.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Line a muffin pan with 12 cupcake liners. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together. Set aside. In a medium microwave-safe bowl, melt butter in the microwave. Whisk in the sugar - the mixture will be gritty. Whisk in yogurt, milk, vanilla and almond extracts until combined. Slowly mix dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until no lumps remain. Batter will be thick. Try very hard to avoid over mixing. Set aside.
  • Using a whisk, a handheld mixer, or a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment - beat the egg whites until until thick and foamy, about 3 minutes. See photo at the bottom of this post for a visual of the egg whites. Fold into cupcake batter. The batter will be smooth, velvety, and slightly thick. Divide batter among 12 cupcake liners and bake for 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow cupcakes to cool.
  • In a medium bowl using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter on medium speed for 1 minute. Switch the mixer to low speed and slowly add the confectioners' sugar until combined. Quickly stir the cooled white chocolate with a spoon so that it is smooth and pour into the creamed butter/sugar. Switch the mixer to medium speed and beat for 2 minutes until combined and creamy. Add the cream, vanilla extract, and salt. Beat for 1-2 minutes until combined. I used a Wilton 1M swirl piping tip to pipe the frosting. You may use any piping tip or a knife. Decorate as you please with sprinkles, candies, etc.

1 large egg, plus 3 large egg yolks
1/2 cup sugar
1 1/2 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
1/3 cup lemon juice (from 2 lemons)
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup firm butter, cut up
26 foil paper baking cups
1 box Betty Crocker™ Super Moist™ yellow cake mix
Water, vegetable oil and eggs called for on cake mix box
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cup butter, softened
1 teaspoon kosher (coarse) salt
2 tablespoons milk
2 tablespoons lemon juice
4 teaspoons grated lemon peel
3 teaspoons vanilla
5 cups powdered sugar
Betty Crocker™ blue gel food color, if desired
Extra fine edible glitter or decorator sugar crystals, if desired

Steps:

  • In 2-quart saucepan, mix all filling ingredients except butter with whisk. Heat to simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens and coats back of wooden spoon, 4 to 5 minutes. Strain sauce through strainer into small bowl. Beat in butter with whisk. Press plastic wrap directly onto surface of lemon curd; refrigerate at least 3 hours but no longer than 1 week.
  • Heat oven to 350°F. Remove and discard paper liners from inside foil baking cups, place foil baking cups in each of 24 regular-size muffin cups. Make and bake cake mix as directed on box for cupcakes, adding vanilla to batter. Cool in pans 10 minutes; remove from pans to cooling racks. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
  • Fit #6 round tip in decorating bag (opening about 1/8 inch in diameter). Spoon filling into decorating bag. Insert tip in center of cupcake, about halfway down. Gently squeeze decorating bag, pulling upward until cupcake swells slightly and filling comes to the top.
  • In large bowl, beat frosting ingredients on high speed about 3 minutes or until smooth and well blended, adding more lemon juice by teaspoonfuls if needed to get smooth but stiff consistency. Tint frosting with gel food color paste.
  • Fit #1 round tip (opening about 1/2 inch in diameter) into decorating bag. Spoon frosting into decorating bag; use round tip to generously pipe frosting in circular motion, leaving 1/4-inch border around cupcake. Sprinkle with edible glitter. Serve immediately or refrigerate until serving. If refrigerated, allow cupcakes to come to room temperature before serving, about 1 hour. Cover and refrigerate any remaining cupcakes.

Tips:

  • If you don't have a cupcake tin, you can make these cupcakes in a muffin tin. Just be sure to adjust the baking time accordingly.
  • To make sure your cupcakes are cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center of one of them. If it comes out clean, they're done.
  • Let your cupcakes cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting to set properly.
  • For a neater look, use a piping bag to apply the frosting to your cupcakes.
  • If you don't have any almond extract, you can use vanilla extract instead.
