I will be baking white cupcakes until a winner is found or until YOU send me a recipe I love and then you will be a winner. Of course, taste and moistness is purely subjective on my part (and hubby's) but if you can please both of us, I'll send you a prize...maybe one of my cookbooks or maybe one of my reversible aprons from Etsy.
The rules are: it doesn't have to be your original recipe and it can't be made with a cake mix. I'm looking for almost damp moistness and no dry crumbs.
I am hitting the kitchen hard and heavy this week to conquer the white cupcake. If you beat me to it, you will be a winner!
White Velvet Butter Cake - Modified for Cupcakes
ReplyDeleteMakes 24
Ingredients
- 4 liquid oz of egg whites (around 4 large egg whites)
- 1 cup milk
- 2 1/4 teaspoons clear vanilla
- 3 cups sifted cake flour (important! make sure you use cake flour and not all-purpose flour)
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 12 tablespoons (1.5 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
Directions
Preheat oven to 350F and fill two 12-hole cupcake trays with cupcake wrappers. In a medium bowl, combine egg whites, vanilla and 1/4 cup milk.
In a large mixing bowl, combine cake flour, sugar, baking powder and salt and mix together to blend. Add the butter and remaining 3/4 cup milk. Mix on low speed until dry ingredients are moistened. Increase to medium speed (high if using a hand mixer) for 1.5 minutes. Then add the egg, vanilla and milk mixture in three equal parts, beating for 20 seconds between additions.
Pour the batter into prepared cupcake trays. Try to fill each cake with an equal amount of batter. Try using an ice cream scoop to help make scoops of batter even. Each cupcake wrapper will be about 2/3-3/4 full. Place trays in the oven for 15-20 minutes, remove when golden yellow and a toothpick stuck in the center comes out clean. Let cool for 10 minutes in the pan, then place on a cooling rack. Let cool completely before frosting.
I have tried this before and it is pretty good but not quite as moist as I wanted, but so far, the best. Thanks for sending in the recipe.
