Ingredients
Scale
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
2 large eggs
1/2 cup milk
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups powdered sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened (for frosting)
2–3 tablespoons heavy cream
Food coloring (various colors)
Edible flowers for decoration
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake pan with liners.
In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk, and mix until just combined.
Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners.
Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting.
For the buttercream, beat the softened butter until creamy, then gradually add the powdered sugar and heavy cream until desired consistency is reached.
Divide the frosting into bowls and add food coloring to create different shades.
Frost the cooled cupcakes with the colored buttercream and decorate with edible flowers.
Notes
Ensure the butter is at room temperature for easy mixing.
Use gel food coloring for more vibrant colors.
Store cupcakes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
