Servings: persons

1/2 cup butter, softened
1-1/2 cups sugar
4 egg whites
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1-1/3 cups buttermilk
1 cup plum jam
1 cup sugar
2 egg whites
1/4 cup water
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Edible glitter and coarse sugar

1
In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg whites, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; add to the creamed mixture alternately with buttermilk, beating well after each addition.
2
Fill paper-lined muffin cups two-thirds full. Bake at 350u00b0 for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack to cool completely.
3
Cut a small hole in the corner of a pastry or plastic bag; insert a very small tip. Fill with jam. Push the tip through the top to fill each cupcake.
4
For frosting, combine the sugar, egg whites, water and cream of tartar in a large heavy saucepan over low heat. With a hand mixer, beat on low speed for 1 minute. Continue beating on low over low heat until frosting reaches 160u00b0, about 8-10 minutes. Pour into a large bowl; add vanilla. Beat on high until stiff peaks form, about 7 minutes.
5
Pipe frosting over cupcakes; sprinkle with glitter and coarse sugar.
