Time 1h

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 14

12 small solid chocolate Easter eggs, unwrapped and frozen
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 ¾ teaspoons baking powder
1 cup white sugar
½ cup butter, softened
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
½ cup milk
½ cup butter, softened
2 cups confectioners' sugar
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon milk, or as needed
1 drop food coloring, any color, or as needed
12 candy-coated chocolate eggs (such as Cadbury Mini Eggs®)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 12 cupcake cups with paper liners. In a bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder.
  • In a mixing bowl, beat the white sugar with 1/2 cup butter until thoroughly mixed, then beat in the eggs, one at a time, incorporating each egg before adding the next. Stir in 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract. Stir the flour mixture into the egg mixture, followed by the milk, mixing to make a smooth batter. Fill each lined cupcake cup about 2/3 full of batter, and push a frozen solid chocolate egg into the batter in the center of each cupcake so a tiny bit of the egg sticks out.
  • Bake cupcakes in the preheated oven until the tops are lightly browned and the cakes spring back when pushed with a finger, 20 to 25 minutes. Allow cupcakes to cool completely.
  • In a bowl, beat 1/2 cup of butter with confectioners' sugar and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract; add 1 tablespoon of milk, a teaspoon at a time, until the frosting is smooth. Beat in your choice of food color to desired shade, and spread frosting on each cupcake. Top each cupcake with a candy-coated mini egg for decoration.

Tips:

  • Use room temperature ingredients: This will help the batter mix more evenly and create a smoother cupcake.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will incorporate air into the batter and make the cupcakes more tender.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition: This will help prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Sift the flour and baking powder together before adding them to the batter: This will help ensure that the cupcakes are light and airy.
  • Do not overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the cupcakes tough.
  • Fill the cupcake liners only 2/3 full: This will prevent the cupcakes from overflowing while baking.
  • Bake the cupcakes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: The baking time may vary depending on the size of the cupcakes.
  • Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting them: This will help the frosting set properly.
  • Use your favorite frosting to decorate the cupcakes: There are many different types of frosting to choose from, so you can find one that you and your family will love.
