Pink Velvet Cupcakes
“My daughter loves all things 'girly' and pink, so this recipe was perfect for her birthday,” says Paulette Smith from Winston-Salem, North Carolina. “Oddly enough, my teenager son (who's not a fan of pink) devours these cupcakes, too!”
* 24 Servings
* Prep: 30 min. + chilling
* Bake: 25 min. + cooling
Ingredients
* 1 cup butter, softened
* 1-1/4 cups sugar
* 1/8 teaspoon pink paste food coloring
* 3 eggs
* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
* 2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
* 1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
* 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
* 1/4 teaspoon salt
* 1 cup buttermilk
*
WHITE CHOCOLATE GANACHE:
* 2 cups white baking chips
* 1 tablespoon butter
* 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
* Pink coarse sugar and edible glitter
Directions
* In a large bowl, cream the butter, sugar and food coloring until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with buttermilk beating well after each addition.
* Fill paper-lined muffin cups two-thirds full. Bake at 350° for 23-27 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely.
* Meanwhile, in a heavy saucepan, melt chips and butter with cream over low heat; stir until smooth. Transfer to a large bowl. Chill for 30 minutes, stirring once.
* Beat on high for 2-3 minutes or until soft peaks form and frosting is light and fluffy. Cut a small hole in the corner of a pastry or plastic bag; insert #30 star tip. Fill bag with frosting; frost cupcakes. Sprinkle with coarse sugar and edible glitter. Store in the refrigerator. Yield: 2 dozen.
