Butterfly Cupcakes - Cute and Delicious

Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 cup whipped cream or frosting (for filling)
  • Powdered sugar (for dusting)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder. Set aside.
  3. In a separate bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add the eggs, one at a time, and mix until well combined. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with milk, and mix just until combined.
  6. Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners and bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the cupcakes cool completely before assembling.
  8. Once cooled, carefully cut a small circle in the top of each cupcake and remove the piece, creating a small hollow space.
  9. Fill each hollow with whipped cream or frosting, and then cut the removed piece in half to create the ‘wings.’
  10. Place the ‘wings’ back on top of the filling at an angle for that butterfly look.
  11. Dust the finished cupcakes with powdered sugar for a lovely presentation.

These butterfly cupcakes are not only visually appealing but also deliciously light and airy. They are perfect for any celebration or simply as a sweet treat for yourself. Enjoy sharing them with your friends and family, and don’t forget to snap a picture before they disappear!
