Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup champagne, chilled
  • 1 cup powdered sugar, sifted (for frosting)
  • 2 tablespoons champagne (for frosting)
  • 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar (for frosting)
  • Pinch of edible glitter (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the 1/2 cup of chilled champagne. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fill the cupcake liners about two-thirds full.
  7. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cupcakes cool completely on a wire rack.
  8. To make the fizzy frosting, beat the powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons of champagne, and cream of tartar together until smooth and fluffy. If the frosting is too thick, add a few more drops of champagne.
  9. Once cupcakes are cool, pipe or spread the fizzy frosting on top. Sprinkle with edible glitter, if using.

Notes

  • Use a dry sparkling wine if you do not have actual champagne.
  • Chill your champagne well before using it in the batter and frosting for the best fizz effect.
  • Make sure the cupcakes are completely cool before frosting them.
