Ingredients

Scale
  • 140 ml Buttermilk
  • 120 g Soft unsalted butter
  • 150 g Granulated sugar
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1 tbsp Vanilla extract
  • 160 g All-purpose flour
  • 20 g Cornstarch
  • 1 tsp Baking powder
  • ½ tsp Baking soda
  • 1 pinch Salt
  • 160 g Cream cheese (room temperature)
  • 100 g Soft unsalted butter
  • 300 g Icing sugar
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract
  • Yellow and orange food coloring

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a cupcake pan with paper liners.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, soft unsalted butter, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the mixture, continuing to mix until well combined.
  4. In another bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just incorporated.
  6. Fill your cupcake liners about two-thirds full with the batter and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow cupcakes to cool completely on a wire rack.
  7. In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and soft unsalted butter until creamy.
  8. Gradually add the icing sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth and fluffy.
  9. Divide the frosting into two bowls. In one bowl, tint the frosting with yellow food coloring and in the other, use orange food coloring for contrast.
  10. Using a piping bag fitted with a flower tip, pipe yellow frosting onto the cooled cupcakes in a circular motion to create a daisy flower shape.
  11. To create the daisy’s center, use a star tip to pipe the orange frosting in the middle of the yellow “petals.”

Notes

For buttermilk substitute: combine 1 tbsp vinegar or lemon juice with milk to make 140 ml. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
