Baking/ Recipes

Basking in Buttercream

Hello, cupcake.

Turns out, I think you’re pretty swell. I love your cute little chocolate body and your creamy frosting top.ย  I also love the fact that you are already perfectly portioned so I don’t have to worry about the potential ofย  consuming an entire chocolate cake by myself.

Beautiful cupcake. Let’s stay together forever.

I don’t know about you, but I use social gatherings as a pure excuse to bake something. Going to the neighbor’s house for dinner? Bring brownies. Headed to the new boyfriend’s house to watch a movie? Bring cookies. Going away party? Definitely cupcakes. While I’m not really a fan of actually hosting parties at my own house, I really love playing hostess at other people’s.

I used a pretty standard chocolate cupcake recipe for these today—my inspiration was actually these vegan cupcakes but I de-veganized them a plethora of buttermilk.

The end result was a light, springy chocolate cupcake. I love these because they aren’t terribly sweet so they make perfect vehicles for delicious billowy frosting, which is the best part anyway, right?

Speaking of frosting, after digging deep into the depths of my freezer, I realized I had leftover Brown Sugar Italian Buttercream from when I made Almanzo birthday cupcakes back in April. Friends, always always ALWAYS make extra frosting and freeze it. All you have to do is thaw then you can re-whip it and it’s just like new!

I love frosting so much. I want to just fill a swimming pool with it and bask to my heart’s content. Sorry, is that too much information?

This frosting hails straight from the bible and is the most utterly delicious thing you could ever put in your face. I’m sorry but it just is.

Brown Sugar Buttercream

from Gourmet

3 large egg whites, room temperature

pinch salt

1 cup dark brown sugar

1/2 cup water

1/2 tsp fresh lemon juice (I don’t know if I actually did that)

3 sticks butter. Yes, three sticks.

1 tbsp vanilla extract

Bring the sugar and the water to a boil over medium heat, brushing down the sides of the pot with a wet pastry brush as needed.

AS SOON AS the sugar syrup starts to boil, start beating your egg whites with an electric mixer. Add your lemon juice and beat until the whites hold soft peaks.

While that’s going, make sure to keep an eye on your sugar syrup. Let it come to 238-242 degrees (using a candy thermometer). Once it’s there, immediately drizzle the hot syrup into the egg whites as they are beating. Continue to beat for another six minutes so the meringue has time to cool down a little.

Once the bottom of the bowl doesn’t scald your hand anymore, start adding the butter in very small pieces (mixer is still going at this point). Add the butter, small chunk by small chunk, slowly until you have successfully tossed in all three sticks. Continue beating buttercream for another five minutes or so (add vanilla extract now) until it’s light and fluffy.

It’s quite the process (and quite the amount of butter!) but you won’t regret it. There’s just something about homemade frosting that takes cakes and cupcakes to a whole new level and straight out of the ballpark. You can find candy thermometers at kitchen supply stores, but I think I just used a regular ol’ cooking thermometer that I got for six dollars at Safeway.

Do it.

Cupcake recipe to follow—I have a party to attend!

    Your cupcakes look amazing. I have to say I love the new look and also the new focus on your blog. I have been reading your blog for months but rarely comment. I have to say that it really does seem like you have a healthy balance of eating, blogging, and living your life.

    • jenna
      September 23, 2010 at 5:12 pm

      you have to add the butter very slowly and when you do, it WILL look flat and like watery mush but you just have to keep on beating for about six more minutes and it will come back together. Trust me—It will look awful but you have to keep the kichenaid on high and wait it out..

  • Kelley
    September 25, 2010 at 3:32 pm

    So I made this recipe and it didn’t seem to turn out quite right. The first time I pulled the beater out of the bowl after mixing for a while, there were little white stringy things wound around it. As best I can tell, it’s pieces of egg that got cooked from adding the hot sugar mixture. Is it better to wait for the sugar to cool down a little first? Have you heard of this happening? I’m pretty bummed as it tastes pretty good and it ended up thickening up well. Also, mine seems like it’s darker than yours, or that could just be the different lighting in the picture. Mine turned out more of a carmely color…. Is that wrong?

    • Andrea
      March 28, 2012 at 5:16 pm

      Color difference is probably just how hot/caramalized you got the sugar on the stovetop. (I make caramel and each batch will be slightly different.) I wouldnt’ worry about it. Mine turned out looking about the color of chocolate chip cookie dough before you bake it.

      You have to add the sugar SLOWLY to avoid cooking your eggs (its called tempering). I just poured a constant, slow drizzle from the hot pan into the egg bowl while they were on medium-high speed, and slowly poured all of the sugar in until it was gone. I probably took a full minute to pour the sugar in.

    • Julien
      April 25, 2011 at 11:35 am

      I completely agree. I was so excited about this recipe, but it just turned out gross- like slimy, fluffy butter and it didn’t taste at all like brown sugar. The texture was great (light, airy and delicate) and the recipe worked exactly as written, but it just has WAY, way too much butter. I’m going to try it again with only 1 stick of butter and see if that helps.

  • Brenda M.

    Jenna, love your recipes. Made this frosting last night – one thing I might mention is that I don’t beleive your recipe mentions where to add the salt and vanilla. I pulled out *the Bible* (Gormet cookbook bought on your recommendation) and found where to add them. I tasted the frosting w/out the vanilla and salt, and I could see where Courtney thought it might be a little “blah”. But….the vanilla made a huge difference. I know the salt (which I was too apprehensive to add at the end) would have also helped. Thanks for all of the great recipes. I’m working my way through them all and love them!

    As a side note, my icing also ended up tasting like whipped butter. I added maple flavoring, as well as a bit of 10x powder to stiffen the icing, and it was perfect. I can’t wait to try more of your recipes!

Plz could you help me on how to get it right ๐Ÿ™‚ I think I must have messed up while beating the egg whites as I didn’t realize I had beat them to the syiff peak stage n not the soft peak stage ??
