- 1 tbsp Vanilla extract
- 160 g All-purpose flour

- 100 g Soft unsalted butter For frosting
- 300 g Icing sugar
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract For frosting
- Yellow and orange food coloring
Instructions
Cupcakes
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a cupcake tray with paper liners.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, soft butter, granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- In another bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, corn starch, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Slowly add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
- Fill each cupcake liner with batter, about ¾ full. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cupcakes to cool completely on a wire rack.
Decoration
- For the frosting, beat the cream cheese and butter until creamy.
- Gradually add the icing sugar and mix until combined. Then, add the vanilla extract and mix until the frosting is smooth.
- Divide the frosting into separate bowls. Add yellow food coloring to one bowl and orange to another. Mix well until you achieve your desired colors.
- Using a piping bag, swirl the yellow frosting on the cooled cupcakes. Then, use the orange frosting to create petals for the daisies on top. You can also use a round tip to add little dots in the center of the daisies.
Notes
Make sure to use room temperature ingredients for better mixing. Don’t overmix the batter; mix just until combined. Use a piping bag with different nozzles to create more designs and patterns with your frosting.
