Ingredients
Scale
For the cupcakes
- 1 2/3 cups (215g) all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp. baking powder
- 1/4 tsp. baking soda
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1 cup (200g) sugar
- 1/2 cup (120g) unsalted butter, melted
- 2 egg whites
- 1/4 cup (60g) yogurt
- 3/4 cup (180ml) milk
- 2 tsp. vanilla extract
For the buttercream
- 1 cup (240g) unsalted butter, room temperature
- 4 cups (480g) confectioners’ sugar
- 1/4 cup (60g) heavy cream
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- green food color
For the decoration
- white and black fondant
- food color (pink and yellow)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line muffin tin with 12 cupcake liners. In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl mix sugar and melted butter. Add egg whites, yogurt, milk, and vanilla extract and mix until well combined. Slowly mix dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until no lumps remain. Batter will be quite thick.
- Divide batter among the cupcake liners and bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool on a cooling rack.
- For the frosting, beat softened butter on high speed until smooth and creamy. Add confectioner’s sugar, vanilla extract, heavy cream and green food color (go easy on the color and add slowly more until you get the intensity of the color you want). Beat on high speed for 3-4 minutes. Add more powdered sugar if frosting is too thin or more cream if mixture is too thick.
- For the decoration use the black fondant for the bunny body and feet, the white fondant for the bunny tail. Color some white fondant with pink to make the marks on the feet (I used a heart shaped fondant cutter and a small piping tip). For the flowers color the fondant yellow and cut out two sizes of flowers. Pipe a swirl of green frosting on each cupcake and place the bunnies and flowers on top.
Notes
- Enjoy baking!
