Gluten-Free Vanilla Cupcakes with Our Kid Bakers (Soy-Free)

Macy's softball team made the championship last weekend, and this weekend is full again: a friend's birthday party and Harrison's baseball tournament. So tonight was bake night. Macy was in charge of every ingredient that went into the bowl, and this was her first bake talking her way through it on camera. She kept starting before I was recording, so we restarted a bunch (bloopers included). And yes, the sugar went in with the flour again. Remember the brownies? We baked them 19 minutes at 350°F until the center read 200°F. I frosted them with a gallon zip bag with the corner cut off, the kids added sprinkles, and we gave them 10s across the board. RECIPE (12 cupcakes, 350°F) 210 g King Arthur Gluten-Free Measure for Measure flour (1¾ cups, weigh it) 1½ tsp baking powder ¼ tsp baking soda ½ tsp fine salt (we skipped it because our butter was salted) 150 g granulated sugar (¾ cup) 113 g butter, softened (1 stick) 2 large eggs, room temperature 2 tsp vanilla 180 g whole milk (¾ cup) Whisk the dry ingredients. In a separate bowl, beat the butter and sugar until fluffy, then the eggs and vanilla (the sugar goes with the butter, not the flour). Add the dry mix in 3 parts and the milk in 2. Rest the batter 20 minutes. Fill the liners about ⅔ full. Bake 19 minutes, until the center reads 200°F. Cool completely before frosting (ours took about 45 minutes). Dairy-free swap (still soy-free): Miyoko's plant butter. It's made from cashews, so it adds tree nuts. Nut-free? Use dairy-free plant butter sticks (check the label for soy). Our good buttercream recipe is coming in its own post. Full story: https://cartercircus.substack.com/p/gluten...
