  • Author: Lauren Baker
  • Total Time: 39 minute

Ingredients

– 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
– 2 large eggs
– ½ cup pink champagne (or sparkling wine)
– 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
– 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
– ¼ teaspoon salt
– ¼ cup milk
– Pink food coloring (optional, for a deeper color)


Instructions

Creating Pink Champagne Cupcakes can be straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Preheat Your Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake tin with paper liners.
2. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy.
3. Add Eggs: Crack in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
4. Combine Wet Ingredients: Stir in the pink champagne and vanilla extract until fully combined.
5. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
6. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined.
7. Add Color: If desired, add a few drops of pink food coloring to achieve the desired hue.
8. Fill Cupcake Liners: Spoon the batter into the prepared cupcake liners, filling each about ⅔ full.
9. Bake: Place the tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
10. Cool: Once baked, remove the cupcakes from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
11. Prepare the Frosting: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar, mixing well. Then, add pink champagne and vanilla extract, adjusting the consistency with more champagne or powdered sugar as needed.
12. Frost the Cupcakes: Once the cupcakes are cooled, use a piping bag to frost each cupcake with the champagne frosting.
13. Garnish: Top with pink sprinkles for a festive touch.

These steps will guide you in creating these incredible cupcakes effortlessly.
