Instructions
Creating Grape Soda Cupcakes With Creamy Frosting is a fun and straightforward process. Follow these steps for delicious results:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a cupcake tin with paper liners.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. Cream Butter: In a separate bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
4. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
5. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the grape soda. Mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
6. Fill Cupcake Liners: Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full.
7. Bake: Place the cupcake tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Cool: Remove the cupcakes from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Prepare Frosting: In a mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter and powdered sugar. Gradually add milk until you reach your desired consistency. For extra flavor, you can add a splash of grape soda.
10. Frost Cupcakes: Once the cupcakes are completely cool, frost them generously with the creamy frosting.
