Baking cupcakes is a delightful and easy way to treat yourself and others to a sweet indulgence. Adding whipped cream with the whipping cream machine by Nangs Stuff on top not only elevates the taste but also gives the cupcakes a rich, creamy finish. In this guide, we’ll show you how to bake simple, fluffy cupcakes and top them with homemade whipped cream for a delicious dessert that everyone will enjoy!
Preheat the Oven and Prepare the Cupcake Pan
Before you start mixing your cupcake ingredients, make sure your oven is preheated to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners to ensure your cupcakes are baked evenly and can be easily removed.
Cream the Butter and Sugar
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy. This process helps to incorporate air into the batter, resulting in light cupcakes. Use an electric mixer on medium speed for about 3 minutes.
Add the Eggs and Vanilla
Next, add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract, which will enhance the flavor of the cupcakes. Be sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure everything is combined.
Combine the Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients in small portions. Alternate between adding the dry ingredients and the milk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined; over-mixing can result in dense cupcakes.
Fill the Cupcake Liners
Spoon the cupcake batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full. This will give your cupcakes room to rise without overflowing.
Bake the Cupcakes
Bake the cupcakes for 18–20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Once baked, let them cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Whip the Cream
While the cupcakes are cooling, it’s time to prepare whipped cream to fill in the whipping machine from Nangs Stuff. In a chilled mixing bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream with an electric mixer on high speed until it begins to thicken. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, continuing to beat until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip, as the cream can turn into butter.
Frost the Cupcakes
Once the cupcakes are completely cool, use a piping bag or a spatula to top each cupcake with a generous swirl of whipped cream. You can also decorate with sprinkles, chocolate shavings, or fresh fruit for added flavor and presentation.
Final Thoughts
Baking cupcakes and topping them with homemade whipped cream is a simple way to create a delicious treat for any occasion. The light, airy texture of the cupcakes combined with the rich, velvety whipped cream makes for a perfect dessert. Whether you’re baking for a party or just as a special treat for yourself, these cupcakes will be sure to impress!
