Ingredients:

Cupcakes 

  1. 1 2/3 cups all purpose flour
  2. 1 cup sugar
  3. 1/4 tsp. baking soda
  4. 1 tsp. baking powder
  5. 3/4 cup salted butter, room temperature
  6. 3 egg whites
  7. 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  8. ½ cup sour cream
  9. ½ cup, plus 2 T., champagne (like ONEHOPE’s North Coast Reserve Sparkling Brut)

Icing —

  1. ½ cup butter
  2. ½ cup shortening
  3. 4 cups powdered sugar
  4. 4-5 T. champagne

Directions:

Cupcakes —

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Whisk flour, sugar, baking soda and baking powder together in a large mixing bowl. Add butter, egg whites, vanilla, sour cream and champagne and mix on medium speed just until smooth (don’t over mix).
  3. Fill cupcake liners a little more than half way. Bake 18 to 20 minutes.
  4. Allow to cool for about two minutes, and then cool on a rack.

Icing —

  1. Combine butter and shortening and mix until smooth.
  2. Add 2 cups of powdered sugar and mix until smooth.
  3. Add champagne and mix until smooth.
  4. Add remaining powdered sugar and mix until smooth.
  5. Add a little more champagne, if needed, until desired consistency is reached.
  6. Top the cupcakes with icing.

Note: You may notice little bits of butter in the batter, but that’s OK. They will melt into the cupcake as they bake.
