magnolia bakery cupcake recipe
Permalink Closed

for wetbandit :) 

1.5 cups self rising flour
1.25 cups all purpose flour
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
2 cups sugar
4 large eggs, room temp.
1 cup milk
1 tsp vanilla

Preheat oven to 350 deg.  In a small bowl, combine the flours, set aside.  In a large bowl, on medium speed, beat butter until smooth.  Add sugar gradually until fluffy- about 3 mins. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.  Add the dry ingredients in 3 parts, alternating with milk and vanilla.  Beat well each time but do not overbeat.  Make sure batter is well blended and 3/4 full in cups.  Cook 20-25 mins- cool 15 mins.

Sooo good- the batter gets really huge and fluffy!

Duuuuuuuude, I am seriously considering walking to the store in the rain to get self-rising flour so I can make these!  The thought that I could make Magnolia Bakery cupcakes in my own kitchen is oh so tempting ...... !

there is- but i don't have it.  i usually use storebought vanilla and i really like it- i feel like it needs at least some icing.

i've made these cuppies no less than 5 times and each time they have come out perfectly (i follow directions EXACTLY).

Can you make these chocolate? If so what/how much would you use?

I'm eating one as I type.   If I'm in a hurry I just use a box of cake mix,  but the icing is the best part.  This is the original recipe, but you don't need that much icing so I usually half it.

BUTTERCREAM FROSTING
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, very soft
8 cups confectioners' sugar
1/2 cup milk
2 tsp. vanilla extract

Place the butter in a large mixing bowl. Add 4 cups of the sugar and then the milk and the vanilla extract. Beat until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the remaining sugar, 1 cup at a time, until icing is thick enough to be of good spreading consistency (you may very well not need all of the sugar). If desired, add a few drops of food coloring and mix thoroughly. Use and store icing at room temperature, as icing will set if chilled. Can store in an airtight container for up to three days.

Wow, I just made these and these bad boys are SWEET!  But very yummy!  They kind of taste like sugar cookies but in cupcake form.

Are these supposed to taste very cupcakey? I made them (cut the recipe in half), but they tasted sort of... dense, sort of bread-like. Did I do something wrong? I'll admit, I am not the best cook. The icing turned out fine though.

Maybe you overmixed?  It might have just been halving the recipe that did it too - sometimes the proportions just don't translate well up or down.

Yeah, it seems I heard that the recipe doesn't do well if you try to half it.  Better luck next time!

Okay, I made these this weekend and YUM!! My new favorite dessert. Sugar cookies are my favorite cookie, so when FP mentioned that these cupcakes tasted like sugar cookies, I raced to the grocery store to get all of the stuff I needed to make them. Seriously, I can't stop eating these things!

Thanks elle and fp! Next time I will not half it, and I will definitely be careful not to overbeat it.
