What to do
- To prepare the buttercream frosting, mix powdered sugar and butter in a bowl with an electric mixer on low speed (or in a stand mixer).
- Add the vanilla extract and milk. Transfer to a sealable container and refrigerate until ready to use.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a 12-container cupcake tray with cupcake liners.
- Add all of the ingredients for the cupcakes to a blender or food processor and blend until well combined.
- Pour cupcake batter into cups, filling 3/4 of the way up.
- Place on the center rack of the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until cupcakes test clean.
- Remove cupcakes from the oven and transfer to a wire rack once cool enough to handle. Allow cupcakes to cool for 30 minutes before frosting them with buttercream frosting.
