Total Time:35 minutes
Yield:12 mini cakes 1x
Ingredients
Scale
1 ½ cups of all-purpose flour
1 cup of granulated sugar
½ cup of unsalted butter, softened
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
½ cup of milk
1 ½ teaspoons of baking powder
¼ teaspoon of salt
Red food coloring (optional)
Buttercream frosting
Sprinkles or edible decorations
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour mini cake pans or line them with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a medium bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir well and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 3-5 minutes.
Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing until fully incorporated. Then, add the vanilla extract and mix until smooth.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined. If desired, add a few drops of red food coloring.
Pour the batter into the prepared mini cake pans, filling each cup about two-thirds full. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool completely in the pans for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks.
Notes
These delightful mini cakes are not only adorable but incredibly delicious, perfect for sharing with that special someone on Valentine’s Day.
