Yield Makes 24 cupcakes

Number Of Ingredients 13

twenty-four 2 1/2-inch paper muffin cup liners
4 cups cake flour (not self-rising)
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, softened
2 cups sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla
4 large eggs
2 cups well-shaken buttermilk
chocolate cream-cheese and lemon cream-cheese frostings
Garnish: India Tree brand sparkling sugar confetti* or other decorative sprinkles
*available at some specialty foods shops and by mail order from Dean & DeLuca, tel. (212) 226-6800, ext. 269

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. and line twenty-four 1/2-cup muffin cups with paper liners.
  • Into a bowl sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a large bowl with an electric mixer beat together butter and sugar until light and fluffy and beat in vanilla. Add eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition, and with mixer on low speed beat in buttermilk until just combined. Add flour mixture in 3 batches, beating until just combined after each addition.
  • Divide batter among muffin cups (batter will fill cups) and bake in upper and lower thirds of oven, switching position of muffin trays halfway through baking, about 22 minutes, or until golden and a tester comes out clean. Cool cupcakes on racks 5 minutes and remove cupcakes from cups. Cupcakes keep in an airtight container at room temperature 2 days.
  • Spread chocolate frosting on half of cupcakes and lemon frosting on remainder and garnish cupcakes with sprinkles .

The cupcakes were a little dry, but the frosting was really good. I think I would add more buttermilk to the batter next time.

These cupcakes were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I would use less sugar next time.

I've made these cupcakes several times now and they're always a crowd-pleaser. They're moist, flavorful, and the frosting is to die for. I highly recommend them!

These cupcakes were easy to make and turned out beautiful. The frosting was a little too sweet for my taste, but I just added a bit of sour cream to it and it was perfect.

I'm not usually a fan of buttermilk cupcakes, but these were really good. The buttermilk gave them a nice tang that balanced out the sweetness of the frosting. I also liked the addition of the lemon zest in the frosting.
