Ingredients
For the Vanilla Cupcakes
- 1/2 cup butter softened
- 1/2 cup granulated white sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 cup flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
For the Sweetened Whipped Cream
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
Serving
- 1 tablespoon Sprinkles
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
For the Vanilla Cupcakes
- Preheat the oven to 350F.
- Line a 12 well cupcake pan with paper liners. In your stand mixer, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy and a very pale yellow color.
- Add the vanilla, milk and the eggs (one at a time) beating well. Sift together the flour and baking powder.
- Fold the flour mixture into the batter, until just combined. Portion the batter into the paper liners evenly.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes. Tops should be lightly browned, and spring back when touched.
- Transfer to a cooling rack, and cool completely before decorating.
For the Sweetened Whipped Cream
- In a medium sized bowl, sprinkle the powdered sugar over the top of the heavy whipping cream.
- Beat until stiff peaks form, but don't go too far and make it butter!
Assembly
- Using a sharp knife cut a circle (about the size of a quarter) out from the of each cupcake.
- Cut the tops in half and set aside.
- Pipe whipped cream into each cupcake hole,
- Finish the butterfly cakes by placing two cake pieces over the cream to create wings.
- Sprinkle with sprinkles and dust with powdered sugar.
- Devour.
