Yield Makes 24 cupcakes

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 cups cake flour (not self-rising), sifted
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 cups (3 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
2 cups sugar
5 large eggs
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 cup buttermilk
Meringue Buttercream
Red, white, and blue dessert toppings

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 325 degrees with rack in center. Line muffin pans with baking cups; set aside. In a medium bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda.
  • In the bowl of a heavy-duty electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat butter and sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes. With mixer running, add eggs and vanilla extract; beat until combined.
  • With mixer on low speed, add 1 cup flour mixture; mix until combined. Add 1/2 cup buttermilk; combine. Alternate adding flour mixture and buttermilk, ending with flour, until all has been incorporated.
  • Divide batter evenly among baking cups. Bake until light golden brown and a cake tester inserted into middle comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Rotate pans half way through baking. Transfer pans to a wire rack to cool.
  • To decorate, place each color of sprinkles in its own small bowl. Frost each cupcake with about 3 tablespoons Meringue Buttercream. Gently press each frosted cupcake into sprinkles, rolling around so entire surface is coated. Arrange picnic party picks as desired.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe strawberries: Fresh, ripe strawberries will give your cupcakes the best flavor. Look for berries that are deep red in color and have a sweet, juicy aroma.
  • Use a cupcake pan with liners: Cupcake liners will help to keep your cupcakes moist and prevent them from sticking to the pan. If you don't have cupcake liners, you can grease the pan with cooking spray.
  • Mix the batter until it is just combined: Overmixing the batter will make the cupcakes tough. Mix the batter until the ingredients are just combined and then stop.
  • Bake the cupcakes at the right temperature: The cupcakes should be baked at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 18-20 minutes. If you bake the cupcakes at too high of a temperature, they will dry out and become crumbly.
  • Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting them: The cupcakes should be completely cool before you frost them. Otherwise, the frosting will melt and slide off the cupcakes.

Conclusion:

Patriotic ice cream cupcakes are a fun and festive way to celebrate the Fourth of July or any other patriotic holiday. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious and patriotic treat that will be the hit of your party.
