Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a 12-hole muffin tin with cupcake liners.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, beat 115g of unsalted butter and 150g of granulated sugar together until pale and creamy.

Step 3

Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.

In a separate bowl, whisk together 150g of all-purpose flour, 1.5 teaspoons of baking powder, 0.5 teaspoons of ground cinnamon, and 0.25 teaspoons of ground nutmeg.

Step 5

Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the butter mixture, alternating with 2 tablespoons of milk. Mix until just combined and smooth.

Step 6

Spoon the batter evenly into the cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 16–18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let cool completely on a wire rack.

Step 8

For the frosting, beat 100g of unsalted butter in a bowl until light and fluffy. Add 200g of powdered sugar gradually, followed by 0.5 teaspoons of vanilla extract and 2 tablespoons of milk. Beat until smooth and creamy.
