This recipe may be very simple to make and the cupcakes bake up fantastically. The key ingredient? A little bit of cornstarch for a young crumb and essentially the most scrumptious cream cheese frosting. Are you able to inform how mouth-watering-ly tender these cupcakes are?!
I’m very pleased with my cream cheese frosting. I’ve gotten so many compliments on it, typically from associates who inform me they don’t usually like frosting.
You’ll need to retailer these within the fridge since they’ve cream cheese frosting however convey them to room temperature for 30-60 minutes earlier than serving so the cake is sweet and smooth. Whereas these are superb as quickly as you frost them, I used to be shocked at how unchanged they had been days later. You recognize I like a great make-ahead celebration recipe!
