Description
Delicious Harry Potter-themed Butterbeer Cupcakes that are perfect for any fan of the series.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 0.5 cups buttermilk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon butterscotch syrup
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened (for frosting)
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 0.5 cups butterscotch sauce
- 2–4 tablespoons milk (for consistency)
- Butterscotch chips for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake tin with paper liners.
- In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy using an electric mixer.
- Beat in the eggs, vanilla extract, and butterscotch syrup until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
- Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Allow to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar and butterscotch sauce, mixing well. If the frosting is too thick, add milk one tablespoon at a time until the desired consistency is reached.
- Once the cupcakes are completely cooled, use a piping bag to frost each cupcake generously with the butterscotch frosting. Top with butterscotch chips for a finishing touch!
Notes
- Ensure the butter is softened for easier mixing.
- Do not overmix the batter to keep the cupcakes light and fluffy.
- Store any leftover cupcakes in an airtight container at room temperature.
