  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 12 cupcakes

Ingredients

For the Cupcakes:

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup pink champagne
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt

For the Frosting:

  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 2–3 tbsp champagne
  • Pink food coloring (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and line cupcake tins with paper liners to prepare for baking.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar together until the mixture becomes light and fluffy, ensuring a smooth base for your batter.
  3. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add the eggs one at a time into the creamed mixture, beating well after each addition. Then, stir in the vanilla extract to enhance the flavor.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt to ensure even distribution of leavening agents.
  5. Mix Batter: Alternately add the dry ingredients and pink champagne to the creamed mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix gently just until combined to retain cupcake tenderness.
  6. Fill and Bake: Spoon the batter evenly into the cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full. Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool Completely: Remove the cupcakes from the oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before frosting.
  8. Prepare Frosting: Beat the butter, powdered sugar, and champagne together until the frosting is smooth and fluffy. Add pink food coloring if desired for a delicate pink hue.
  9. Frost and Serve: Once the cupcakes are fully cooled, generously frost them with the pink champagne frosting and serve immediately for best taste.

Notes

  • Use sparkling juice instead of champagne for a non-alcoholic version suitable for all ages.
  • If the frosting is too soft, chill it slightly in the refrigerator to firm up before frosting the cupcakes.
