Delicious Butterbeer Cupcakes inspired by the whimsical world of Harry Potter, featuring rich butterscotch flavor and fluffy whipped cream frosting.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup butterscotch sauce (for drizzle)
  • 1 cup heavy cream (for frosting)
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for frosting)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for frosting)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake pan with cupcake liners.
  2. Cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add in the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Then mix in the buttermilk and vanilla extract.
  4. Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in another bowl. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  5. Fill the cupcake liners with the batter, filling each about 2/3 full. Bake for 18-20 minutes.
  6. Cool the cupcakes completely on a wire rack.
  7. Whip the heavy cream until it forms soft peaks, then add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, beating until stiff peaks form.
  8. Frost the cooled cupcakes with the whipped cream frosting and drizzle with butterscotch sauce before serving.

Notes

Serve these cupcakes with a chilled glass of milk or hot cider. Keep leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or store frosting separately if you’re concerned about sogginess.
