Preciously Minty Pink Vanilla Mini Cupcakes
Magnolia bakery recipe - found at What the Fruitcake?!
Yield: 100 mini cupcakes

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups self rising flour 
• 1 1/4 cups all purpose flour 
• 2 sticks unsalted butter, softened 
• 2 cups granulated sugar 
• 4 eggs 
• 1 cup skim milk 
• 1 tsp vanilla extract 
• 1/4 tsp salt

The How To:

• Preheat oven to 350°F 
• In a small bowl whisk the flours together 
• Combine the milk and vanilla extract (it’s easy to do this if you have a pyrex glass measuring cup)
• In a large bowl, combine the sugar and butter until awesome
• Add eggs 1 at a time
• Alternate adding the flour mixture/milk mixture - starting and ending with the flour mixture. (No, I don’t know why :P)
• Spoon the batter into your cupcake cups (hopefully with awesome mini liners like I have!) and bake them for 12-14 minutes.

For the frosting:

• 1 stick of unsalted butter
• 1 16oz box of confectioners sugar
• 1/2 tsp vanilla
• 2-3 tbsp milk (add as needed)

For this, same as usual - soften the butter first and use a mixer/hand mixer to mix all the ingredients until they are whipped/can hold it’s own shape. And tastes amazing.

Then, for the finishing touch, roll the tops of your little treats in some peppermint shavings like I got at crate and barrel!

I think this is the happiest I’ve been with a vanilla cake recipe in a long time - I’ll definitely use this one again. Super moist and flavorful!

I hope all my followers are having a happy holiday season so far! <3
Until next recipe
