Description
Delightful, soft, and fluffy cupcakes infused with the nostalgic flavors of cinnamon and sugar, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for topping)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for topping)
- 1 cup buttercream frosting
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake tin with paper liners.
- Whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon in a medium bowl.
- Cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy—this should take about 2-3 minutes.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, alternating with the milk. Start and finish with the dry ingredients for best results.
- Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full to allow for rising.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the center of a cupcake.
- Allow the cupcakes to cool in the pan for a few minutes before carefully transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon for the topping in a small bowl. Once the cupcakes have cooled, frost them with buttercream frosting and sprinkle with the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
