To begin, I preheated the oven to 350 degrees.

Now I was making this recipe to take to a Potluck Party…and what better portable dessert can you make, than cupcakes? So…I lined 2 standard muffin pans with liners.

1

 

In a bowl, combine 3 cups of Cake Flour, a tablespoon of Baking Powder…

2

 

and a half teaspoon of Salt (the recipe calls for Kosher..I used sea salt)

3

 

Give it a stir and set it aside.

4

 

In your mixing bowl, combine 2 sticks (1 cup) room temperature butter, and 2 1/4 cup Sugar

5

Beat it until nice and fluffy, about 3 minutes – and be sure to scrape the bowl to ensure everything mixes in.

6

 

To this, mix in 5 room temperature eggs, one at a time.

7

 

Then mix in 2 teaspoons of Vanilla

8

 

Add in half of the flour mixture, and mix it in.

9

 

Next, add in 1 cup of whole milk

10

 

Then mix in the remaining flour mixture, until it is almost all the way mixed.

11

 

Stir it by hand to finish it up, so you don’t over-mix the batter.

13

 

Next, I scooped the batter into my tins.

14

 

When I did this, it actually made 2 1/2 dozen cupcakes, so I pulled out my old muffin tin from my grandmother, and put it to good use.

15

 

Bake for 22-24 minutes, or until they test done with the "toothpick test." After letting them cool a bit in the pan, I carefully removed them to a cooling rack, where I let them cool completely.

16

 

I piled on some of my Chocolate Mascarpone Frosting.

18

 

Then I placed these bad boys in my carriers.

19

 

And headed out to the party!
