Chocolate & Vanilla CUPCAKEs

Kemaren sy kembali 'ngisi' cooking class di sekolahnya Patricia. Khusus u/ kindergarten ajah. Tema kali ini 'Easter'. Stelah ngebrowse2 nyari ide decorating u/ anak2... akhirnya sy mutusin u/ ngadain decorating cupcakes aja. Sy nyiapin 2 macem cupcakes (chocolate & vanilla) dan keperluan ngedecor (2 warna buttercream, springkles, kelinci2an, bendera, plus telur2an~dari coklat butiran warna-i).

Masing2 anak dpt 2 cupcakes yg berbeda, dan mereka ngedecor deh. Yg menarik, anak2 cowog juga ternyata antusias bgt buat maen2 ama butter cream. Abis itu cupcakes yg udah dioles butter cream dibalikin dan ditempelin ke dlm mangkok yg udah berisi springkles (meisis)... hasilnya meisisnya rata di seluruh permukaan cupcakes. Abis itu dihias... ditaroin kelinci, telur2an ...plus bikin keranjang (gantungan keranjangnya sy bikin pake coklat leleh yg dibekuin). Anak2 seneng bgt pulangnya bawa cupcakes.

Makes 24
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
12 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature (1 1/2 sticks)
1 1/2 cups sugar
4 large eggs
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups milk

1. Heat oven to 350°. Line cupcake pan with paper liners; set aside. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder and salt. In another mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, mixing until incorporated and scraping down sides of bowl, beat in vanilla.
2. Add flour mixture and milk alternately, beginning and ending with flour. Scrape the sides and bottom of bowl to assure the batter is thoroughly mixed. Divide batter evenly among liners, filling papers about 2/3 full. Bake on the center rack of the oven until tops spring back to touch, about 20 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
