    Do you need a quick and easy recipe for delicious cupcakes? Well… I think we got that covered here ;) Easy peasy vanilla cupcakes with an easy vanilla buttercream topping. This recipe can be the base for many of your cupcake creations…

    It’s really a very basic recipe we’ve got here. You can use it for many other cupcakes as well – add some additional ingredients like nuts, chocolate etc. and you will have a new and different cupcake each time. I use this cupcake recipe for all cupcake recipes that ask for vanilla cake or white cake box mixes. You know you don’t have to use them, right? ;) If you are baking on a regular basis, you probably have all the ingredients at home anyway, so making the cupcake batter from scratch is actually faster than going to the store, buying the box mix, going home, talk to a neighbor on the way home, going back to the store because you forgot something, going home… I think you get the point :P

    No really, from scratch is sometimes really easy and you can adapt the recipe to your liking. On top, you know exactly what’s in your “homemade cake mix” – with box mixes you never know 100% what else is in there besides “regular ingredients”, right?!

    The buttercream can be adapted as well – add some additional flavors to it, food color or go all natural and use pureed fruits and berries. Works well most of the time. U got to try what you like and what works best for you!

    DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG

    • English
    • Deutsch

    1. Preheat the oven to 350˚F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with 12 paper liners and set aside. Melt the butter for the batter and let cool down a bit.

    2. Add the melted butter together with the oil, milk, eggs and vanilla extract to a large bowl and mix until well combined. Add the sugar and mix until you get a fluffy mixture. Mix the flour with baking powder, and salt and gradually add to the bowl and mix in until just combined. Divide the batter between the paper liners and bake for 20-24 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean. Take out of the oven, remove from the muffin tin and let cool down completely on a wire rack.

    3. For the buttercream add the butter to a large bowl and mix until light and fluffy. Add the confectioners’ sugar and vanilla extract and mix slowly, then on high speed for several minutes until you get a nice and creamy mixture. Gradually add the heavy cream to get the right consistency that can be piped easily. Transfer the finished buttercream to a piping bag with star tip and decorate the cupcakes. If you like sprinkles, add them on top as well. In summer I recommend storing the finished cupcakes in the fridge when it is not warm in the kitchen, you can leave them outside in a box on the counter.

    1. Den Backofen auf 175°C (350°F) vorheizen. Ein Muffinblech mit 12 Papierförmchen bestücken und zur Seite stellen. Die Butter schmelzen und etwas abkühlen lassen.

    2. Die geschmolzene Butter zusammen mit dem Öl, Milch, den Eiern und dem Vanille Extrakt in einer großen Schüssel verrühren. Den Zucker dazugeben und zu einer hellen Masse aufschlagen. Das Mehl mit dem Backpulver und Salz vermischen und dann in mehreren Portionen zur Schüssel dazugeben und nur kurz unterrühren. Den Teig auf die Papierförmchen verteilen und dann für 20-24 Minuten backen – mit einem Zahnstocher testen, ob noch Teig kleben bleibt und die Cupcakes erst herausnehmen, wenn der Zahnstocher sauber herauskommt. Die Cupcakes aus der Form lösen und auf einem Kuchengitter komplett auskühlen lassen.

    3. Für die Buttercreme die Butter in einer Schüssel hell und luftig aufschlagen. Puderzucker und Vanille Extrakt dazugeben und erst langsam, dann auf höchster Stufe mehrere Minuten luftig aufschlagen. Die Sahne nach und nach dazugeben – mit der Sahne reguliert nan die Konsistenz der Masse ein wenig. Die Buttercreme in einen Spritzbeutel mit Sterntülle füllen und die Cupcakes damit dekorieren. Wer mag kann noch Sprinkles oder ähnliches auf die Cupcakes geben. Die Cupcakes stellt man bei wärmeren Temperaturen am besten in den Kühlschrank, ansonsten halten sie auch in einer Schachtel bei Raumtemperatur durch.
