Ingredients
For the cupcakes:
- 1 cup flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
For the funnel cake topping:
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup buttermilk
- 3 tablespoons butter, melted
Instructions
Making the cupcakes:
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 12-count muffin tin with paper liners and set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing after each addition. Add the vanilla extract and mix until combined. Alternating between the flour mixture and the buttermilk, add the ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined after each addition.
Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each cup about 2/3 full. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean. Allow the cupcakes to cool completely before topping with the funnel cake batter.
Making the funnel cake topping:
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg and buttermilk. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a thick, batter forms. Add the melted butter and mix until combined.
Once the cupcakes have cooled, spoon the funnel cake batter on top of each cupcake. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown. Allow the cupcakes to cool completely before serving.
