Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350ºF.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat 10 tablespoons and sugar together until creamy.
- Add eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Beat again.
- Add flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt, and ¾ cup milk.
- Beat just until batter is uniform.
- Fill cupcake liners ¾ full.
- Bake for 20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- While cupcakes are baking, prepare frosting.
- Beat powdered sugar, 3 tablespoons butter, and remaining milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, until frosting forms the desired consistency.
- Separate frosting, coloring ¼ of it with brown food coloring and ¾ of it with
- yellow and orange food coloring until you reach the desired color.
- When cupcakes are baked and cooled, transfer frosting to two separate resealable bags.
- Depending on your decorating skills, you may choose to use tips to apply the frosting. Another option is to simply pipe the frosting on by cutting a corner of the bag off and then use a toothpick to create a sunflower look.
Notes
- Fully soften your butter to ensure that your cupcakes and frosting come out perfectly.
- If you aren't confident in your frosting capabilities, simply snip a corner off of your piping bag and do a simple frosting layer. You'll still get the impression of a sunflower.
- Bake until a toothpick comes out clean.
