MAKE MINI CUPCAKES RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F Line mini muffin pans with paper liners.
• CUPCAKES: Combine evaporated milk and vinegar. The milk will thicken up. Reserve.
• Beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well. Add vanilla.
• Combine dry ingredients in a separate bowl. Add half of the dry mixture to wet ingredients. Mix well. Add reserved milk and remaining dry ingredients. Place batter into prepared pans.
• Bake in preheated oven 15 minutes. Cool.
• VANILLA ICING: Beat all the ingredients for 3-5 minutes until smooth and creamy. Ice cupcakes once cooled. Decorate with multi-colored sprinkles.

Steps:

• Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 350°F. Line muffin cups with liners.
• Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Stir together milk and vanilla in a small bowl.
• Beat together butter and sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer at medium-high speed until pale and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Add egg and beat until just combined. Reduce speed to low, then add flour and milk mixtures alternately in batches, beginning and ending with flour and mixing until just combined.
• Divide batter among muffin cups, filling them two-thirds full, and bake until tops are pale golden and a wooden pick or skewer inserted in centers comes out clean, about 15 minutes. Invert cupcakes onto a rack and cool completely.
• For each color, transfer 1/4 cup buttercream to a separate small bowl and tint with food coloring (if using), then frost tops of cupcakes.
