Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup champagne, plus more for glaze
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- Edible glitter
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the softened butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and 1/4 cup champagne.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full.
- Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cupcakes cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the cupcakes cool, prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup champagne and the powdered sugar until smooth. Add more champagne or powdered sugar as needed to reach your desired consistency.
- Once the cupcakes are completely cool, dip the tops into the champagne glaze.
- Immediately sprinkle edible glitter over the wet glaze.
- Let the glaze set before serving.
Notes
- Ensure your champagne is not overly sweet, as this can affect the glaze.
- You can use a non-alcoholic sparkling cider as a substitute for champagne.
- Experiment with different colors of edible glitter for a unique look.
