A mouth-watering delight that’s perfect as bomboniere or just a sweet hen’s night treat, these pink champagne cupcakes look ah-mazing!<\/p>\n

They’re an intermediate level dish that takes about 1 hour to prepare and, of course, if you don’t have the time (or desire) to make them yourself, there are plenty of cake makers<\/a> who’ll do it for you.<\/div>\n

Ingredients:<\/h1>\n
The cupcakes:
\n<\/strong>4 cups flour
\n3 cups white sugar
\n5 teaspoons baking powder
\n8 egg whites
\n1\/2 teaspoon baking soda
\n1 2\/3 cup milk
\n1 cup shortening
\n1\/2 cup pink champagne<\/a>
\n1 tablespoon vanilla extract
\n1\/4 teaspoon salt<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Italian Buttercream:<\/strong>
\n2 cups sugar
\n8 large egg whites
\n4 cups (about 1kg) unsalted butter that is cubed and at room temperature
\n1 tablespoon vanilla extract<\/p>\n

Method:<\/h1>\n

Preheat the oven to 177 degrees C (350 degrees F). Now, a fill a cupcake pan with 24 cupcake liners.<\/p>\n

Tip the sugar, baking powder, flour, baking soda and salt into a large bowl and mix. Now, add the milk, the shortening, the pink champagne and your vanilla extract.<\/p>\n

Beat this mixture together on low to medium speed for about 30 seconds or until all the ingredients have combined nicely.<\/p>\n

It’s time for the eggs. Beat the mixture on medium speed for about two\u00a0 minutes while adding in the egg whites. Beat for a further one to two minutes until the mixture is smooth.<\/p>\n

Add a dollop of mixture to each of the cupcake liners so that they are about half full.<\/p>\n

Bake the mixture until they’re a light golden colour and the center of the cupcake springs back when touched.<\/p>\n

This should take between 10 and 15 minutes.<\/p>\n

Remove the cupcakes from the oven and remember to cool them before icing.<\/p>\n

To make the butter cream:<\/strong>
\nBeat the egg whites in the large mixing bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment.<\/p>\n

Pour the 1 1\/2 cups of sugar into 1\/2 a cup of water into a saucepan and bring the mixture to a boil over a medium heat. The mixture should turn into a soft ball after about 4-7 minutes.<\/p>\n

While this is happening, whip the egg whites until soft peaks form. This is best done on a high-speed setting.<\/p>\n

Beat the remaining 1\/2 cup sugar into the egg whites and continue whipping until medium sized peaks form.<\/p>\n

When the sugar water mix reaches about 112 degrees C 240 degrees F, raise the speed to high and gradually add in the sugar water to the egg whites in a thin stream to avoid cooking the egg whites.<\/p>\n

Leave the mixer on high for 2 minutes, and then reduce the speed to medium until the mixture has cooled to room temperature, 5 to 8 minutes.<\/p>\n

Once cooled, add the butter in increments, scraping the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula. Add in the vanilla and whip.<\/p>\n

Pipe the buttercream on top of the cooled cupcakes and, if you have any handy, top with an icing bloom.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":10904,"template":"","au_article_tag":[330,327,126,380,45],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/au-article\/34904"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/au-article"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/au-article"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/au-article\/34904\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10904"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=34904"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"au_article_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/au_article_tag?post=34904"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
