Ingredients
  

  • Cupcakes:
  • 1 3/4 Cups Flour
  • 3/4 Cup Sugar
  • 1/2 Cup Butter
  • 1 tsp Baking Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1 tsp Vanilla
  • 1 Cup Milk
  • 4 oz White Chocolate Chips
  • Frosting:
  • 1 Cup Butter
  • 4 cups Powdered Sugar
  • 4 oz White Chocolate Chips melted, same as above
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1/2 tsp Almond Extract optional

Instructions
 

  • Cupcakes:
  • Preheat the Oven to 325 degrees.
  • Cream together the butter and the sugar with a stand mixer or a hand mixer on medium until fluffy. Add in the eggs one at a time mixing just until combined.
  • Melt the white chocolate chips in the microwave starting at 50% power for 30 seconds. Stir a minute or so as the chocolate will continue to melt after you remove it from the microwave. If still not completely melted, place back in the microwave for 5-10 seconds and then stir again. Repeat if necessary, but be careful b/c it is easy to overcook chocolate in the microwave.
  • Pour the chocolate into the batter and then add the vanilla and mix for another minute.
  • Add in the first cup of flour along with the salt and baking powder and 1/2 cup of milk. Mix just until combined.
  • Add in the remaining flour and milk and mix well.
  • Line a cupcake pan with cupcake liners and fill each about 3/4 full.
  • Place the cupcakes in the oven and bake for 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • White Chocolate Frosting:
  • Beat the butter on high speed about two minutes until fluffy.
  • Add in 1 cup of powdered sugar and beat on low just until mixed.
  • Add the melted chocolate chips, the vanilla and the almond extract (if including) and beat on low until combined.
  • Add the remaining powdered sugar 1 cup at a time and mix on low speed until the mixture reaches frosting consistency.
  • Note: If it's still too thick, you can also add a Tbsp or two of milk. If even after 4 cups of powdered sugar it is still too thin, add another 1/2 cup of sugar. I find frosting is fickle and can be different Every. Single. Time. So, I always like to give people options for getting it just right.
