Description
Whimsical cupcakes inspired by the Harry Potter series, featuring flavors of butterscotch and cream.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup butterscotch chips for frosting
- 1 cup heavy cream for frosting
- 1/4 cup butterscotch sauce for drizzle
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your cupcake pan with colorful liners.
- Cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in buttermilk and vanilla.
- Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in another bowl. Gradually incorporate into the wet ingredients until just combined, and then fold in the butterscotch chips.
- Divide the batter among the cupcake liners and bake for 18-20 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow to cool completely.
- Whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form, then gradually add melted butterscotch chips and whip until combined. Frost the cooled cupcakes and drizzle with butterscotch sauce.
Notes
Use room temperature ingredients for better mixing results. Don’t over-mix the batter to keep the cupcakes light and airy.
