Let's get started on making these delicious Banana Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting.
Instructions:
Step 1: Preheat the oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare your muffin pan by lining it with cupcake liners or lightly greasing them.
Step 2: Mix the dry ingredients
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
Step 3: Cream the butter and sugar
In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 4: Add the eggs and mashed bananas
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, stir in the mashed bananas.
Step 5: Add the dry ingredients
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
Step 6: Pour the batter into the muffin pan
Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin pan, filling each about 3/4 of the way full.
Step 7: Bake the cupcakes
Bake the cupcakes for about 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool completely before frosting.
Step 8: Make the cream cheese frosting
While the cupcakes are cooling, make the cream cheese frosting. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the softened butter and cream cheese together until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and continue to beat until well combined and creamy.
Step 9: Frost the cupcakes
Once the cupcakes are completely cooled, frost them with the cream cheese frosting using a piping bag or a knife.
