Unfortunately, more often than not, people are touched by cancer in some way – we all seem to know a friend, a neighbor, a co-worker, or a family member that has to deal with this terrible disease. What do you do to help the cause? If you don’t currently support Breast Cancer Awareness, today is the day to start! There are many ways to support it through Cook for the Cure!

Recipe type: Cupcakes
Serves: 50 mini cupcakes, 24 regular cupcakes
Ingredients
Cupcakes
  • 2½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1½ cups granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon cocoa powder (omit for pinker color)
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature (make sure it's really soft)
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 2 eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon distilled white vinegar
  • Pink food coloring
Cream Cheese Frosting
  • 16 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
  • ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 3 heaping cups confectioners sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line a cupcake pan with liners. I made mini muffins but this recipe will work for regular size as well.
  2. In a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, mix together butter, oil, buttermilk, eggs, vanilla and vinegar. Mixture may be lumpy.
  3. In a separate bowl, sift together sugar, flour, cocoa powder, salt and baking soda. With mixer on low-speed, gradually add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix until smooth and no longer lumpy, but careful to not over mix.
  4. Add food coloring to your liking and stir to combine. Because of the cocoa powder, the cupcakes will be a dusty pink color. If you want light or bright pink cupcakes, omit the cocoa powder.
  5. Fill cupcake liners about ⅔ full. For mini muffins, bake for 11 minutes, turning cupcakes half way through baking process. For regular size muffins, bake for about 20 minutes, turning half way through. Check doneness by inserting a tooth pick into cupcakes - if the toothpick comes out clean, they're done.
  6. To make cream cheese frosting, add butter and cream cheese to a mixer and whip until creamy and completely combined. With mixer on low-speed, gradually add confectioners sugar until frosting is smooth and fluffly. Lastly, add vanilla and mix for a few seconds until combined. Frost cupcakes.
Notes
To achieve a brighter pink color, omit the cocoa powder. The flavor may change slightly, but the cupcakes will still bake up the same.

    I love this cause! My mother-in-law had breast cancer last year and beat it. It was one of the toughest things she ever had to go through. I am thankful for everyone that continually tries to help find a cure so that no one has to endure the kind of pain that those women endure. These cupcakes are beautiful Jess. <3
