Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. For Chocolate Cupcakes: reduce flour to 1 1/4 cups, and add 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder. Makes 12.
  2. Black and White Cupcakes: Prepare both vanilla and chocolate batters; fill muffin cups with 3 tablespoons of each, side by side. Makes 24.
  3. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter and flour a standard 12-cup muffin pan, or use paper liners. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder and salt; set aside.
  4. With an electric mixer, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition; add vanilla and mix until combined. On low speed, beat in half the flour mixture, followed by milk; end with remaining flour mixture. Mix just until incorporated (do not overmix).
  5. Divide batter among prepared muffin cups, filling 2/3 full. Bake until a toothpick inserted in center of a cupcake comes out clean, 22 to 24 minutes. Cool cupcakes in pan, 5 minutes; transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Frost with your choice of buttercream.
  6. Buttercream Three Ways.
  7. Vanilla Buttercream: With an electric mixer, beat 1 stick room temperature unsalted butter until light and fluffy. On medium speed, beat in 1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar, 1/2 cup at a time, beating well after each addition and scraping down bowl as necessary. Mix in 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract. Increase speed to high, and beat until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Makes 1 1/2 cups.
  8. Raspberry Buttercream: Make vanilla buttercream, then beat in 3 to 4 teaspoons seedless raspberry jam.
  9. Chocolate Buttercream: Place 4 ounces bittersweet chocolate in a large heatproof bowl set over (not in) a saucepan of simmering water. Heat, stirring occasionaaly, until smooth, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat, and cool to room temperature. Make vanilla buttercream, then beat in melted chocolate.
