10 cupcakes yields
113 tablespoons butter gr, 1 stick or 8, softened
230 cups granulated sugar gr, 8 oz or 1
2 large eggs
230 cups all purpose flour gr, 8 oz or 1
1 1/4 teaspoons baking soda gr, 1/4
1 1/4 teaspoons salt gr, 1/4
120 cups milk ml, 1/2
2 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract gr, 1/2
food color optional
140 grams cream cheese softened and cut into small pieces
30 tablespoons unsalted butter gr, 2, softened and cut into small pieces
5 teaspoons vanilla extract gr, 1

1
Preheat the oven to 325F degrees, and prepare a cupcake pan with liners.
2
In a big bowl, beat together the butter and sugar until you obtain a light cream. Add the eggs, one by one, making sure you incorporate well the first before adding the second one.
3
In a separate bowl combine the flour, baking soda and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk and finally add the vanilla extract. (and the food coloring if you decide to make your cupcakes colored)
4
Fill the cupcake liners TO THE TOP of the cupcake liners. This is very important because it will insure you have enough top to cup off.
5
Bake for 20 minutes, test with a toothpick, and cool on a wire rack.
6
While the cupcakes are cooling - make the frosting:
7
In a large bowl, on the medium speed of an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese and butter for about 3 minutes or until smooth. Add the vanilla and beat well. Gradually add the sugar and keep beating until you obtain a very soft cream. Cover and refrigerate the icing for a couple of hours to thicken before using.
8
When the cupcakes are cooled, take a serrated knife and gently cut off the fluffy tops, right at the paper. Using a small heart-shape cookie cutter, cut out the center of the tops.
9
Rost the flat top of the cupcake that you just cut and then place back the top.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
