Earlier this month Teri Hatcher and her lovely daughter Emerson found a few minutes to enjoy tasty, tasty cupcakes from the world famous Magnolia Bakery in New York. Since most of us just can't pop down to Magnolia whenever we feel like, I've decided to treat you with the official recipe for Magnolia Bakery Vanilla Cupcakes with Vanilla Buttercream.

Magnolia Bakery Vanilla Cupcakes
More From Magnolia: Recipes from the World Famous Bakery and Allysa Torey's Home Kitchen
1 1/2 cups self-rising flour
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
2 cups sugar
4 large eggs, at room temperature
1 cup milk
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Magnolia Bakery Vanilla Buttercream
- Preheat oven to 350°. Line two 12-cup muffin tins with paper liners; set aside. In a small bowl, combine flours; set aside. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream butter until smooth and creamy. Gradually add sugar, beating until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add dry ingredients in 3 parts, alternating with the milk and vanilla, and scraping down sides of bowl in between each addition; beat until ingredients are incorporated but do not overbeat.
- Divide batter evenly among liners, filling about three-quarters full. Bake, rotating pan halfway through, until a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes.
- Transfer to a wire rack to cool in tins for 15 minutes. Remove cupcakes from tins, and cool completely on rack. Once cupcakes have cooled, use a small offset spatula to frost tops of each cupcake. Serve at room temperature.
Makes about 2 dozen cupcakes.

The BEST Cupcakes in SF - the "old fashion"
7Organic dark chocolate (super moist) cupcake with homemade marshmallow fluffy icing - crave-able!
New Yorker here. Magnolia's is a big waste of time. Most true NYCer don't go there. The line actually goes around the block!! It's a huge joke between the natives. The cupcake is usually dry and the frosting is too buttery sweet. Taste like any grocery store cupcake.
Crumbs Bakery is a lot better and great variety (red velvet, cappucino, hostess, oreo) YUM. There are a couple of locations.
Anyways, don't believe the hype.
Ooh, also, if you're planning on traveling to NYC, stop at Rice to Riches. It's a rice pudding joint and it's soooo good. www.ricetoriches.com
Cheers!
8also...since we're on the subject of over-hyped NYC food locales. Serendipity -- 2 hour wait, food overpriced and so-so. Their "hot" dessert is the Frozen Hot Chocolate is just a milkshake. Nothing special. I was even told there a $8 minium order PER PERSON when I went there.
Hopefully, I didn't let the wind out of anyone's sails but just wanted to give you the real scoop.
9If you want the magnolia bakery cupcakes, and don't want to deal with the lines, go up to midtown and hit Buttercup Bake Shop - same cupcakes, low-key joint. There's also a choice of muffins, and cookies as well, plus whole cake slices!
I'd get the red velvet if I were you.
I agree with supergurl Re: Serendipity, WASTE OF TIME!
Also, when you make these cupcakes, you may get yucked out by the amount of butter. Just a warning.
10I just took my husband to Magnolia when we visited NYC a couple weeks ago because of all the hype. The icing is TO DIE FOR but the cake part was dry as supergurl said. My husband was of course not that impressed after I'd gone to all the trouble to get us there.
We had wanted to try Crumbs but never made it- it looks like they have a lot more variety. We waited in line at Magnolia for 30 minutes AND they had a doorman/bouncer person which I thought was hilarious fun!
11I love Teri, she's so cute. And this recipe looks delicious!
12HAHA to Redegg! Come back to NYC and try Crumbs! We love visitor as long as you're not blocking our path.
j/k All this cupcake talk is making me hungry!
13I've done Serendipity's also. I have to say I enjoyed the Frrrozen Hot Chocolate, but it's not worth a long wait over. Also the food portions for a meal are puny for such a high price.
For desserts, I love Rocco's Pastry Shop on Bleecker Street. Especially after a pizza at John's across the street. Bleecker is such a magical street!
14pleasure JVB!
15^I was in NY recently and had the best dessert at "Room 4 Dessert". It's a dessert bar opened by Will Goldfarb (who used to work at El Bulli). The desserts are definitely not traditional, and are very creative. My favourite was the "Pom Pom Yeahs".
I've only ever read bad things about Magnolia cupcakes (dry cake, too sweet frosting.)
Like nixievixiepixie said, Rocco's is great. Well, their cannoli (filled to order) are great. The lobstertail pastry is also pretty good. The other two pastries I ate there were forgettable.
16I made these for my boyfriend's birthday in December. They are INCREDIBLE! Just make sure you pay really, really close attention to the mixing times, or they will turn out dry!
Also-- the frosting is REALLY sweet. They're equally good with Chocolate frosting.
17I love Rocco's cannollis too puddinpie! That's all I really order as far as dessert goes there. And their Napoleons, I must say, are quite good.
18This recipe is definitely not the same as they use at Magnolia. I think the cupcakes are pretty close, but the frosting is off. I always add a lot more confectioner's sugar and less milk.
19The cupcake recipe is tasty, although a bit dense in texture. The frosting recipe isn't quite what I like, so I just stick with the "5-minute frosting" recipe on the C&H powdered sugar box; I use whipping cream or whole milk for a creamier frosting. Someday, if I travel to NYC, I will definitely try some of the wares at the various bakeries.
