Champagne cupcakes
As I mentioned in the Strawberry cupcake post, I made 6 dozen cupcakes for a cousin’s graduation party. I wanted to try the champagne cupcakes since they seemed fitting for the celebratory occasion.
The cake was deliciously moist and had a great texture. The frosting did as well. I couldn’t really taste a strong champagne flavor but hubby said he really could. They were definitely a hit.
Champagne Cupcakes – from Crazy about Cupcakes
2/3 cup butter, at room temperature
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
3 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
3/4 cup champagne
6 large egg whites, at room temperature
Preheat oven to 350. Insert liners into a medium cupcake pan.
In a large bowl cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
In a separate medium bowl sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Blend the dry ingredients into the creamed mixture alternately with champagne.
In a large clean bowl, beat the egg whites on high speed until stiff peaks form. Fold one-third of the egg whites into the batter until blended, then fold in the remaining egg whites until well blended.
Fill the cupcakes liners 3/4 full. Baker for ~20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cupcake comes out clean. Cool in pan.
Once completely cooled, brush 1 Tbsp of champagne onto the tops of the cupcakes.

WOW total sugar coma! I love that it’s a PB cookie with a whole PB cup put into it!! Such a fun idea 🙂
and peanut butter
and chocolate
and aMrshmallows
süpppppeer 🙂
Considering it’s not even 10am and I’ve just polished off my 4th cheesecake brownie, I’d better stay as far away from these cookies as possible. They look phenomenal.
Looks good. I bet they’d be super festive looking with the holiday m&ms.
Happy Friday!

These look sugary and delicious 🙂 I tend to find mini M&M’s either in the check out lane or at Christmas I find them over where they have little stocking stuffer candy.
I have the sugar shakes just thinking about these 🙂 They are waaaay too cute!
I’d love that sugar party in my mouth…wow!
My kiddos would be all over this. All that candy PLUS a cookie?! They’d love it! LOL
Oh – the mini m&ms? I can usu. only find them in the check-out aisles in the small tubes. I haven’t seen them in bags in a long time.
I’ll have to look up by the checkout next time I need mini M&Ms. I was definitely looking for a bag…
OMG your pictures are TDF
The only place I can find M&M minis now is in the bulk candy aisle. I haven’t seen them in any sort of packaging in ages.
“super sugar overload cookies” sound good to me! 🙂 Thanks for linking!
Very Clever!
Wow those look great, I’ll have to try them. I love your photography!
