Lavender Cupcakes with Marshmallow Buttercream Frosting

June 14, 2022 By Elizabeth 18 Comments

Moist and tender lavender cupcakes topped with marshmallow buttercream frosting. A delicious treat for any occasion.

A few weekends ago on “weekend meanderings” I wrote about my love of lavender. Since then I have been making lavender simple syrup, lavender lemonade, lavender scones and a few savory things as well. Today I am sharing my latest lavender dessert, Lavender cupcakes with Marshmallow Buttercream Frosting.

The lavender cupcake recipe is so easy and is from one of my favorite blogs, How Sweet Eats. If you are not familiar with Jessicas’ beautiful blog make sure to check it out along with all of her cookbooks. Every recipe is I have made from her blog and cookbooks is delicious.

Why not make a batch of lavender cupcakes for your Father’s Day celebrations?

Lavender Cupcakes with Marshmallow Buttercream Frosting

Lavender Cupcakes

Recipe from How Sweet Eats

11/2 cups of cake flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup of unsalted butter, room temperature

1 cup granulated sugar

1 large egg + 1 egg white

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

3 tablespoons vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon lavender extract

1/2 cup of while milk

Directions for lavender cupcakes

Preheat oven to 350. Line your cupcake pan with baking liners.

In a small bowl whisk together the dry ingredients, flour, baking powder, and the salt. Set the bowl aside.

In a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, add the butter and mix until it is creamy and fluffy. Add the granulated sugar, beat on high speed until fluffy, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add the egg and the egg white, mix well on medium speed. Scrape the bowl down with a spatula. Then add the oil, vanilla extract and the lavender extract, beat on medium speed for one minute.

Turn the mixer  to low and add half of the dry ingredients. Then add the milk, then the other half of the dry ingredients and mix on medium speed until the batter is combined.

Fill each cupcake liner 2/3 of the way full. Bake about 18-22 minutes. Check the cupcakes at 18 minutes with a toothpick, if they are not done bake an extra minute or two. Remove from oven, cool on wire rack. Then frost.

      Hello Mary, the cupcake liners are from HomeGoods. I apologize that I do not have a link. You can also find them at TJMAXX and Marshalls, although I am not sure if they have the same selection at every store.
