Ingredients
Cupcakes
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 2/3 cup natural yogurt
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 cup pink Moscato
- 1/2 tsp salt
Buttercream Frosting
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp sprinkles
- 2 tbsp pink Moscato
- a pinch of red food coloring
Instructions
- Arrange 12 muffin liners into a muffin pan and preheat the oven to 350F.
- Use an electric mixer to cream butter with granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Then incorporate one egg at a time and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth. Then add yogurt and combine. Next, add Moscato Wine and combine.
- Mix flour, baking powder, and salt in another bowl. Fold it into the batter bowl. Use a spatula to combine, and do not overmix it.
- Fill each muffin paper ¾ to the top. Bake the muffins for 20 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
- In the meantime, prepare the frosting. Place softened butter and powdered sugar in a large bowl. Use a fork to combine first. Then, use an electric mixer to achieve a smooth consistency. Next, add vanilla extract, pink Moscato, and a pinch of food coloring. Note: food coloring is a very concentrated product. Start with a tiny fraction to test the color and mix, then add more if necessary.
- Fill your piping bag with pink frosting and decorate your freshly baked muffins.
- Spread some sprinkles on top of the cupcakes, and enjoy!
