Easter Bunny Cupcakes

🧂 Ingredients

• ½ Cup Butter

  room temperature
• ¾ Cup Sugar
• 1 tsp Vanilla
• 2 Eggs
• 1 ½ Cups All-purpose flour
• 1 tsp Baking Powder
• ½ tsp Salt
• 1 tsp Sour Cream
• ½ Cup Milk
• 1 ½ cup Butter

  room temperature
• 4 ½ cups Powdered sugar
• 1 ½ tsp Vanilla extract
• 3 ½ tbsp Milk

Instructions

• 1 First, measure out all of the Easter cupcake ingredients and preheat the oven to
  350°F.
• 2 Next, in the large mixing bowl of a stand mixer, beat the room temperature
  butter and sugar together until light and pale.
  
  If you don’t have a stand mixer you can just use a hand mixer.
• 3 Then, in a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs.
• 4 Add the beaten eggs and vanilla extract into the butter mixture and beat well.
• 5 Next, in another medium-sized bowl, combine and whisk together the flour, baking
  powder, and salt.
• 6 Then, alternate between adding the dry ingredients, milk, and sour cream, ⅓ at a
  time each, into the stand mixer bowl mixing well between each addition.
• 7 Keep mixing the cupcake batter together until all the ingredients are fully
  combined.
• 8 Then, prepare a cupcake pan with foil cupcake liners.
• 9 Using a large batter scoop, divide the cupcake batter evenly between the liners.
• 10 Bake the cupcakes for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle
  comes out clean. Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting.
• 11 While the cupcakes are cooling, make the Italian buttercream frosting. First,
  add the  room temp butter to a clean stand mixer bowl, and beat it for 5 minutes
  until it has doubled in volume.
• 12 Then, gradually add the sugar ½ cup at a time, beating between each addition.
• 13 Next, gradually add in the vanilla extract and milk. Beat on high for 3 minutes,
  until the frosting ingredients are totally combined.
  
  Prepare a piping bag with a jumbo-size round tip. Transfer the frosting to the
  bag, and secure it with a bag tie.
• 14 Finally, frost the cupcakes with the Italian buttercream frosting and top with
  the Wilton bunny ears and tails decorating kit.
