Ingredients

Servings

For the Cupcakes:

  • 5 egg room temperature, large, whites
  • ¾ cup buttermilk
  • 1 Tablespoon vanilla bean paste
  • ¾ cup butter softened, unsalted
  • 1 ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 ½ cups cake flour
  • 1 Tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt

For the frosting:

  • 1 ½ cup butter softened, unsalted
  • 4 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla bean paste
  • 3 Tablespoons milk
  • 48 Candy eyes

Instructions

  1. For the cake, whisk together the egg whites, vanilla bean paste and 1/4 cup milk in a small bowl. Set aside.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugar for 2 minutes. Add in dry ingredients and mix until combined. Slowly add in egg mixture, beating until fully incorporated. Beat in the remaining 1/2 cup milk. Turn mixer on high and beat for 2 minutes.
  3. Fill cupcake liners 2/3 full and bake in a 350 degree oven for 17-18 minutes, until set (will begin to lightly brown on edges). Remove and cool completely before frosting.
  4. For the frosting, beat butter for 5 minutes until pale in color. Add sugar, vanilla bean paste and milk. Beat an additional 5 minutes until light and fluffy.
  5. Pipe onto cupcakes by filling pastry bag and using tip 48, pipe "stripes" onto top of cupcakes. Add candy eyes. ENJOY!

Notes

  • Storing: Keep your cooled and frosted cupcakes covered at room temperature. They taste best if eaten within 2 - 3 days.
  • Be sure to beat the batter for 2 or 3 minutes in your stand mixer before baking. This gets everything incorporated and whips a bit of air into the cupcakes!
  • If you can't find tiny candy eyeballs, you can use mini chocolate chips to make "eyes."
