This is the cupcake recipe the famous Magnolia Bakery uses and it has been the recipe I have used for the last few years too. It makes a delicious cupcake and I have used it as a base recipe for all sorts of yummy modifications.
For 4th of July a couple years ago I made a cupcake flag with magnolia cucpcakes with a little variation for each color of the flag. The red cupcakes were strawberry and I added fresh strawberry into the cupcake recipe and the buttercream. The Blue were lemon and I just added some lemon extract, a dash of lemon juice and some lemon zest to the batter and buttercream recipe and the White were actually the Magnolia red velvet recipe with a fresh cream filling and a creamcheese buttercream and fresh cream whip recipe I make. If you would like more details on the buttercream and the variations I use please let me know with a lil comment :)
Ingredients
Cupcakes:
- 1 1/2 cups self-rising flour
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups sugar
- 4 large eggs, at room temperature
- 1 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Icing:
- Vanilla Buttercream, recipe follows
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Line 2 (1/2 cup-12 capacity) muffin tins with cupcake papers.
In a small bowl, combine the flours. Set aside.
In a large bowl, on the medium speed of an electric mixer, cream the butter until smooth. Add the sugar gradually and beat until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the dry ingredients in 3 parts, alternating with the milk and vanilla. With each addition, beat until the ingredients are incorporated but do not over beat. Using a rubber spatula, scrape down the batter in the bowl to make sure the ingredients are well blended. Carefully spoon the batter into the cupcake liners, filling them about 3/4 full. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a cake tester inserted into the center of the cupcake comes out clean.
Cool the cupcakes in tins for 15 minutes. Remove from the tins and cool completely on a wire rack before icing.
