best champagne cupcakes recipeSpecial Occasions call for special treats. The Best Champagne Cupcake Recipe is perfect for New Year’s Eve, Wedding Cupcake Towers, Wedding Showers, Baby Showers, Anniversaries, Valentine’s Day, Birthdays, Graduation Parties and even the third Thursday of any month that you feel hungry.

Champagne Cupcakes have champagne baked right in… yum… and more champagne in the frosting…divine. The recipe is straight forward, and easy to follow. Plain they are delicious, but the addition of a raspberry filling makes them spectacular! These special cupcakes are a light and flavorful cake topped with a delicious Champagne Frosting.

My kids actually fought over the last one… and requests are coming in.

Decorate with sprinkles, or colored sugar. We have an alarmingly huge assortment… so I just let the kids choose… pick something to go with your theme. I love making these sweet white chocolate hearts.  (Just follow the link to the “recipe”)

 

I drink champagne when I’m happy and when I’m sad. Sometimes I drink it when I’m alone. When I have company I consider it obligatory. I trifle with it if I’m not hungry and drink it when I am. Otherwise I never touch it – unless I’m thirsty.

 Step By Step Instructions with Photos

Whip The Egg Whites to Stiff Peak

best champagne cupcakes recipe

Not dry.. just stiff… then put the egg whites in a bowl off to the side

Make sure your bowl and beater are clean… any fat will interfere with the whipping up of the egg white. Basically, you’ll just be watching it go around and around and never get white… ( at that point, make an omelette and start over).

Whip the Butter and Sugar

Light and fluffy… about 4 minutes

You can wander around doing other things for four minutes.

Measure Out The Champagne

After Adding Flour and Champagne, the batter will Look Like This

Fold In the Egg Whites

A Little at a Time

Scoop 1/3 of the egg whites into the batter… run your spatula down the side of the bowl, and up through the middle of the batter…rotate the bowl a quarter turn and repeat, and repeat again. When the egg white is mostly incorporated…add another third of the egg white and do that spatula thing again. Then add the rest of the egg white… and once more… fold it in.

It should look something like this.

Adding Raspberry Filling?

Scoop out a bit from the top of the Cupcake

I use a decent quality SEEDLESS Raspberry Jam that I bought from the store. If your Aunt Edna makes the best darn Raspberry Jam in the world, feel free to use it , just get those seeds out (chopsticks work well for that….) (kidding..run it through a strainer).

About 1/2 teaspoon of Jam is Enough

Put the Top Back On

For the Champagne Frosting...

Combine Butter and Powdered Sugar, then alternate more sugar and champage

Beat until fluffy and of good consistency… taste it…. add more sugar if too loose, add more champagne if too stiff.

Pipe The Frosting on the Cupcakes

Note… You Can Use a Spreading Knife to get the frosting on…. but a piping bag makes it easier.
