Ingredients

  • teaspoons double-acting baking powder 
  • 0.7 cup buttermilk 
  • large eggs 
  • cups flour all-purpose
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt 
  • cup sugar 
  • tablespoons butter unsalted at room temperature
  • teaspoon vanilla 

Equipment

  • bowl
  • oven
  • blender
  • muffin liners

Directions

  1. In a bowl, with a mixer on medium speed, beat butter and all the sugar until well blended.
  2. Add eggs and vanilla and beat on high speed until well blended.
  3. Sift flour, baking powder, and salt into another bowl.
  4. With mixer on low speed, beat about a third of the flour mixture into butter mixture, then about a third of the buttermilk. Repeat to beat in remaining flour mixture and buttermilk, alternating in thirds. When all the flour is incorporated, beat mixture on medium speed just until well blended.
  5. Fill paper-lined or buttered muffin cups (1/3-cup capacity) about three-fourths full with batter (about 1/4 cup in each).
  6. Bake in a 350 oven until tops spring back when lightly touched in the center, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool on racks 5 minutes; remove from pans. Cool completely.
  7. Patric Gabre-Kidan, pastry chef for Tom Douglas Restaurants in Seattle, shares some insider information. (We've added our favorite strategies.)
  8. Make sure your frosting is soft and creamy. This is especially important if you're piping it. Cold, stiff frosting will look dull and clumpy, not silky and smooth.
  9. Use a lot of colors. It will make each cake unique and turn the lot into instant decorations for a party.
  10. Don't think that sprinkles are cheesy. They can actually elevate the look.
  11. Mix simple decorations with more elegant ones. Colorful sprinkles aren't lowbrow beside sifted cocoa.
  12. Have fun with lighthearted toppings. Some of our favorites are chocolate jimmies, jelly beans, miniature M&Ms, miniature chocolate chips, peanuts, and chopped toffee, malted milk balls, or dark chocolate.
  13. Try artistic touches. Thin shreds of lemon or orange peel, candied lemon or orange peel, toasted coconut, candied ginger, and sugared rose petals are pretty flourishes. If using rose petals, lightly coat fresh, unsprayed ones with pasteurized egg whites, then sugar; let them dry before using.
  14. Use peanut butter as frosting. Stir it until creamy, then dollop on cakes; or swirl with chocolate frosting.
  15. Add "architectural" elements. Little meringues, miniature Oreos, or chunks of chocolate wafer cookies.
