Instructions
00:00 Introduction
00:12 Preheat oven to 350F (175C) and line a 12-count muffin tin with paper liners. Set aside.
00:17 Combine butter and sugars in the bowl of a stand mixer (or in a large bowl--and use an electric hand mixer) and beat on medium speed until well combined and light and fluffy.
02:03 Add egg and vanilla extract and beat well.
02:45 In a separate, medium-sized bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
03:40 Remove butter/sugar mixture from stand mixer and use a spatula to gradually fold in about ¼ of the flour mixture until just combined.
04:25 Add about ¼ cup of the buttermilk and use spatula to fold in until just combined.
04:32 Continue to alternate until flour mixture and buttermilk are completely combined--mix thoroughly but be sure not to over-mix or your cupcakes could end up dense and dry.
05:47 Fill cupcake liners ⅔-¾ of the way full with batter (do not over-fill, if you have any leftover batter discard it) and bake on 350F (175C) for 17-18 minutes or until tops spring back when gently touched (the tops will be fairly flat, these do not puff up in the oven like muffins) and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs or clean.
06:42 Allow cupcakes to cool in pans or 5 minutes before carefully removing to cooling rack to cool completely before frosting.
Vanilla Bean Frosting
07:07 Beat butter with an electric mixer until creamy. Sprinkle salt over butter and stir again to combine.
07:48 Gradually, about ½ cup at a time, add powdered sugar, waiting until each cup is completely mixed before adding more.
08:37 Stir in vanilla bean paste.
09:10 With mixer on medium-low speed, add the heavy cream, one tablespoon at a time until you have a smooth consistency. Once ingredients are well incorporated, gradually increase speed to high and beat for about 30 seconds.
09:46 Pipe or spread frosting over cooled cupcakes. Top with sprinkles, if desired. This frosting will be fine at room temperature for 2 days or refrigerated in an airtight container for about a week.

Such a gorgeous recipe
Thank you for posting, not just the ingredients, but instructions. So many of these baking videos either don't do either, or just the ingredients.
A pain in the neck for me to bake and watch a video on my phone. Plus, I like to read instructions and save for later to make again.
These look great!
You are so welcome, I'm very glad it's helpful. I hope you love the cupcakes!
I absolutely love all of your recipes I’ve tried, and I find myself watching your videos practically every day! ❤

Thank you! :)
OK Sam, watching this amazing recipe come together made me realize I forgot flour at the store... I'm definitely going back to make these amazing cupcakes... thank you so much dear friend for sharing this wonderful recipe 😊 ❤️ and yes I want twice the amount of frosting to cake for sure 😋 😉
❤Annie
You are going to love these! :)
These look delicious and lovely.. but thankfully a recipie that I dont care to make. I detest making cupcakes 😂 I made your artisan white bread yesterday.. and wow! Excellent recipe!
🤣 That's quite alright. There are bound to be a few you don't want to make right?! I'm glad you enjoyed the bread. :)
Thank you so much for weighing your ingredients. Have you ever found that different brands of flour weigh differently for a one cup amount?
While I suppose it's possible to be very minor variations between brands I have never really found one or found it to be an issue. :)
Sam plz do tiramisu cupcakes
Your buttermilk hack is different than the one I was taught. For example, I made your blueberry muffins and it was delicious. You put 1 very full Tbsp of fresh lemon juice in your measuring cup FIRST and then top it off with your milk to the 1 C line. It even works with soy milk and works great in pancakes too.
That’s how I do it too ☺️
@@SugarSpunRun oh sorry. I had it wrong.
Hi Sam how are you I’m Laura I’m going to make this❤
Hope you enjoy it, Laura!
Hi Sam, would you suggest a brushing of simple syrup if making the night before? This recipe looks absolutely divine 💛
You could if you'd like, but I find if they are stored in an air tight container at room temperature, then there is no need for a simple syrup. :)
@@SugarSpunRun thank you so much!
I commend Sam's recognition that anything less than a 2-to-1 frosting-to-cupcake height ratio is unacceptable. If the frosting's not twice as tall as the cupcake, you're eating one of those sawdusty diet bran muffins you find in those stores that sell herbal remedies and soup mix that comes in a sleeve.
🤣
On a severe Keto diet trying to heal my gut, and your videos are saving my day ;--;
thank uuu!
I'm hoping that at some point you can talk about how using butter flavored shortening works in baking. I'm always tempted to use it but I've been trained to believe that it's bad to consumer.
I personally avoid shortening as much as I can because I'm not a fan of the ingredients. I'm definitely not perfect about it, but when I can avoid it I do.
As far as how it works, you should be able to do a straight substitute for butter in most instances.
Perfect. Thank you. May try someday but yeah.. iffy about it. @@SugarSpunRun
Any shortening is a hydrogenated fat which is horrible for you! Use butter and if you need a solid fat , use lard or for some applications coconut oil will work
Is it okay I can leave eggs out in this Recipe please.
For the frosting, can vanilla extract be used instead of vanilla bean or vanilla bean paste? I am having trouble finding the latter.
You can just use a teaspoon of vanilla extract instead. :)
Just a teaspoon or a tablespoon? I do because the recipe says a tablespoon of vanilla bean paste…if I do vanilla extract instead should I use less? Thanks!
They’re adorable and good little helpers! Maybe you can pay them to comment more on the cupcakes and frosting instead of the sprinkles. You have to pay your advertisers. 😂😅
🤣 They definitely have their favorite part! :)
How sweet are these? I prefer baked goods being less sweet, but I know omitting too much sugar will change the texture.
Can I use sour cream or yogurt instead of buttermilk?
I’d recommend making a buttermilk substitute. 😊
Would this work for a cake??
I'd recommend using my vanilla cake recipe. :) ruclips.net/video/4UNjcAtTnjM/видео.htmlsi=HHdsOvKVOnb-Yuzv
I was thinking of purchasing the electric mixer behind you. Why is the hand one better than the electric mixer that does it for you? Is the electric stand mixer overrated?
Wow I learned something new. I had no idea you can make your own frosting 😮. Now I’m going to try this.
I actually love my stand mixer and it gets used very often, just not on video. I wouldn't say it's overrated, it can save a lot of time and effort. However I would say I personally think the quality of KitchenAid has gone downhill and they unfortunately aren't made like they used to be, which has been so disappointing to discover.
I prefer to use the hand mixer on camera because it's easier for anyone watching to see how the ingredients should look in the bowl (how the batter/dough looks) and because not everyone has a stand mixer and I don't want the recipes to seem unapproachable.
@@SugarSpunRun Agreed. My husband was going to buy me a stand mixer for Christmas 5 years ago, and I told him I've changed my mind, don't want one. The reviews were awful, lots of complaints of the motor and the non stick coating coming off the attachments in the batter, I avoid non stick pans, very bad for you. So I tried looking for a stand mixer that didn't have that coating on the attachments, they all have it now, I even looked at that brand made in Italy, non stick. 😖 I mainly wanted it for making bread, I don't buy bread from the store because of the ingredients, a paragraph long, and unhealthy. I make homemade bread twice a week for lunch sandwiches for my small family. My brother uses his stand mixer for his pizza dough and it comes out tough, overworked dough. I make my sandwich bread and pizza dough by hand, and the texture is wonderful. It is a lot of work, time, and tiring, but worth it. I love your slow sad stand mixer moment, hilarious! 😁
@@MyName-zd9pe Thanks for sharing so I guess I will save the money
@@SugarSpunRun I won’t bother and just continue using my hand mixer then. Plus I’m running out of kitchen space in my kitchen cabinets to put all of these new kitchen gadgets anyway.
One day stand mixer……one day.
🤣
Is it wrong to want cupcakes for breakfast and dinner?
Absolutely not. It's actually the standard in my house, well at least the kids would like it that way. 🤣

You can't buy buttermilk in coastal Massachusetts
You can make a substitute. :) ruclips.net/video/nzXgl6ayZxc/видео.htmlsi=7Fl5co9kr15IxcHZ
