Ingredients
Ingredients
- 3 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cups milk
- Swiss Meringue Buttercream for Cupcakes
- Mini uncoated gumdrops, cinnamon candy, and chocolate and multicolored sprinkles, for decorating
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line cupcake pans with liners; set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing until incorporated; scrape down sides of bowl, and beat in vanilla.
Add flour mixture and milk alternately, beginning and ending with flour. Scrape down sides and bottom of bowl.
Divide batter evenly among liners, filling each about three-quarters full. Bake until tops spring back when touched, about 20 minutes, rotating pan once if needed. Transfer to a wire rack; let cool for 5 minutes. Remove cupcakes from pan, and let cool completely on wire rack.
For the hat, score a circle in center of cupcake. Cut a cone with knife at an angle, rotating cupcake as you go. Using a wide round piping tip or a resealable plastic bag with one corner cut off, pipe buttercream into the cavity and on top for the head. Use gumdrops for the collar and a cinnamon candy for the nose; insert chocolate sprinkles for eyes. Use more buttercream and multicolored sprinkles to create a pom-pom for the hat.

I made these cupcakes because I was bored living alone in my apartment and as they were baking, I heard a knock on my door that ended up being a horde of hot [filtered] craving my [filtered]. Thank you, Martha!

This is actually the best cupcake recipe I’ve ever tried. My 10 year old and 12 year old actually made the cupcakes themselves and they were awesome:)

I made these cupcakes to decorate for a baby shower. Unfortunately, they ended in the trash can. They were dense, did not really rise and tasted like batter. I followed the recipe exactly. Won't be trying them again.

After watching my fave show '2 broke girls' I had the sudden urge to make cupcakes, so I figured I would see what great recipe Martha could give me. These cupcakes beautifully baked at exactly 20 minutes. I did find the cupcake heavy and bland, it needs a lot more vanilla. Wondering if it was something I did wrong to make the cupcakes heavy, I did use margarine instead of butter ( forgot to leave butter out of fridge) other than that these vanilla cupcakes were easy to make.
