Glittery Cupcakes
Ingredients
Cupcakes:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter room temperature
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- ½ cup chocolate chips
Buttercream:
- 2 cups unsalted butter room temperature
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 5 cups confectioner’s sugar
- 2 tbsp white food colouring
- edible glitter
Instructions
Bake the cupcakes:
- Combine the flour, baking powder and salt. In a separate bowl, cream the butter and sugar with an electric mixer until pale and fluffy. Add the vanilla and eggs and beat until combined. Add the dry mixture in 2 additions, alternating with the milk. Add the chocolate chips and mix until evenly distributed.
- Divide the batter into a cupcake tin lined with cupcake liners. To make it extra glitzy, you can use gold cupcake liners! Bake at 350F for 15-20 minutes, or until fully cooked. Transfer to a wire rack and cool completely.
Make the buttercream:
- Cream the butter with an electric mixer until pale and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract and combine. Add the confectioner’s sugar one cup at a time, then beat for 3-5 minutes until fluffy. Add the white food colouring and mix until combine – this will create a brighter base for the glitter.
Decorate:
- Spread some buttercream onto each cupcake and shape it into a round mound. Then dunk the cupcakes upside down into some edible glitter, fully coating the buttercream.
- Place your cupcakes under a bright light and watch them sparkle!
