Begin your culinary journey by preheating the oven to 350°F (175°C. Line a cupcake pan with cupcake liners to prepare for the delicate treats that will soon emerge.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 1/2 cups sugar, 3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: 1 cup milk, 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened, 2 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing to ensure tender cupcakes.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cupcake liners, filling them about 2/3 full.
Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cupcakes to cool completely in the pan before frosting.
While the cupcakes cool, prepare the buttercream frosting. In a large bowl, beat together 1 cup unsalted butter (softened and 3 cups powdered sugar until light and fluffy. Add 2-4 tablespoons of brut champagne for a subtle hint of effervescence.
Frost the cooled cupcakes with the prepared buttercream, using a piping bag or spatula to create your desired designs.
For a festive touch, garnish the cupcakes with edible gold stars or sprinkles before serving. Enjoy the delightful combination of champagne and cranberry in these elegant Poinsettia Cupcakes.
