  • Prep Time: 25 mins
  • Cook Time: 15 mins
  • Total Time: 1 hour
  • Yield: 24 cupcakes 1x

Ingredients

Scale

3 cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
¾ teaspoon salt
1 ½ cups butter, room temperature
1 ½ cups white sugar
4 large eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract, or more to taste
1 ¼ cups milk

Swiss Meringue Buttercream:
1 ¼ cups white sugar
5 large egg whites
¼ teaspoon coarse salt
2 cups butter, room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line two 12-cup muffin tins with paper liners.

Step 2
Mix flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl.

Step 3
Beat butter and sugar together in a large bowl using an electric mixer until creamy. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in vanilla extract. Add the flour mixer and milk alternately. Fill liners 2/3 full with the batter.

Step 4
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 15 to 23 minutes.

Step 5
Bring a pan of water to simmer. Combine sugar, egg whites, and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer. Place bowl on top of the pan; whisk until sugar dissolves.

Step 6
Attach bowl to the stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment. Beat until stiff peaks form and mixture is cool and glossy. Add butter a few tablespoons at a time, beating well after each addition. Add vanilla and mix until buttercream is smooth.

Step 7
Cool cupcakes in the tins for 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool, about 20 minutes. Frost cupcakes with the buttercream.
