how to make Easter Cupcakes

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
2 large eggs
1/2 cup milk
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Vanilla frosting
Chocolate nests
Creme eggs

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a cupcake pan with cupcake liners.
In a bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In another bowl, combine flour and baking powder. Gradually add to the creamed mixture, alternating with milk. Mix until just combined.
Fill cupcake liners about 2/3 full with batter.
Bake for 17 to 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cupcakes cool completely.
Decorate with vanilla frosting, chocolate nests, and place a creme egg on top.

how to serve Easter Cupcakes

Serve these Easter Cupcakes on a festive platter or dessert table. They can be enjoyed as a sweet treat at a party, or you can pack them individually for friends and family to take home. They also make a lovely gift for neighbors or as a surprise for kids during Easter celebrations.

how to store Easter Cupcakes

Store any leftover cupcakes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. If you prefer, you can refrigerate them for a longer shelf life, but the texture might change slightly. Be sure to keep the frosting separate if you are storing them in the fridge.

tips to make Easter Cupcakes

Make sure the butter is softened before you start. This helps to cream it well with the sugar.
Don’t overmix the batter after adding the flour. Mixing just until combined ensures the cupcakes will be light and fluffy.
Consider using different colors of food coloring in the frosting to make your cupcakes even more festive.
If you would like a richer flavor, try adding some cocoa powder to the batter.

variation

For a twist on the classic recipe, you can substitute half of the all-purpose flour with cocoa powder to create chocolate cupcakes. You can also use different types of candy on top instead of creme eggs, like jelly beans or chocolate bunnies, to match your theme.

FAQs

Can I make these cupcakes ahead of time?

Yes! You can make the cupcakes a day ahead. Just store them in an airtight container until you are ready to frost and serve them.

What can I use instead of creme eggs?

If you can’t find creme eggs, you can use any chocolate-filled candy or even mini chocolate eggs as a fun topping.

Can I freeze the cupcakes?

Yes, you can freeze the cupcakes without frosting. Just wrap them well in plastic wrap and store them in a freezer bag. They will keep well for up to 3 months. Let them thaw in the fridge before frosting and serving.
