Magnolia Bakery's Vanilla Birthday Cake and Frosting image

These comments are from their cookbook: "At Magnolia we decided to make our cake not quite a traditional yellow cake or a traditional sponge cake, given the use of whole eggs in our recipe. We're sure you'll agree this recipe is moist, delicious and makes a beautiful layer cake or cupcakes for birthdays or any celebration. Frost with pink buttercream icing and lots of colored sprinkles as we do, and feel as though you're at your seventh birthday party all over again!"

  • Gradually add the remaining sugar, 1 cup at a time, beating well after each addition (about 2 minutes), until the icing is thick enough to be of good spreading consistency.

Tips:

  • Use room temperature ingredients for better emulsification and a smoother batter.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy to incorporate air and create a stable base for the batter.
  • Gradually add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition to prevent curdling.
  • Sift the dry ingredients together to ensure even distribution and avoid lumps in the batter.
  • Alternate adding the dry ingredients and buttermilk to the wet ingredients, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients to avoid overmixing.
  • Mix just until the ingredients are combined to prevent gluten development, which can result in tough cupcakes.
  • Fill cupcake liners only 2/3 full to allow for rising and to prevent overflowing.
  • Bake the cupcakes at the specified temperature and time, adjusting according to your oven.
  • Allow the cupcakes to cool completely before frosting to prevent the frosting from melting.
  • For a smooth and creamy frosting, beat the butter until light and fluffy before gradually adding the powdered sugar.
  • Add a small amount of milk or cream to the frosting to achieve the desired consistency.
  • Use a piping bag fitted with a star tip to create decorative swirls on top of the cupcakes.
