Instructions
Cupcakes
Turn your 烤箱 to 350F. Line your 杯形饼, 蛋糕 baking pan with paper 杯形饼, 蛋糕 cups.
Using your mixer, whip the eggs, then gradually add the sugar. Whip until pale yellow and foamy, about 4 minutes. Add half of the 酸, 酸奶 cream, mix to incorporate. Add half the flour and the baking soda, mix to incorporate. Repeat with remaining 酸, 酸奶 cream and flour. -If using 罂粟 seeds, add them at this point and mix to incorporate.
Using a 1/4 cup 或者 smaller ice cream spoon, spoon the batter into the prepared paper cups.
If using nuts, sprinkle them on top. Bake for about 11-14 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean (the color should be pale yellow, not golden brown).

Frosting

Using mixer, whip together cream cheese and butter. Turn the speed to low and add the powdered sugar 1 cup at a time, allowing the ingredients to incorporate before adding the 下一个 cup. Add the vanilla extract. Whip for another 2-3 minutes, until smooth and fluffy. Fit a pastry bag 或者 a sturdy gallon sized zip lock bag with a 星, 星级 tip 或者 a tip of your choice. Fill the pastry bag with frosting and put it in the refrigerator until the 纸杯蛋糕 cooled down.
Once the 纸杯蛋糕 cooled down, pipe the frosting on top. Use sprinkles if desired.

Recipe Notes

The recipe can be cut in 3, this way 你 will probably get about 8 cupcakes.
*This frosting recipe makes a pretty sweet frosting. 你 can cut the amount of sugar, to your taste if 你 want a less sweet frosting.
***Ultimately, 你 can use a different frosting altogether. 你 can use 3 ups of whip cream+ 1 can of condensed 牛奶 (cooked 或者 uncooked) + 1/4 cup sugar. - Whip the heavy cream to stiff peaks, continuing to whip, add the condensed milk, pouring it down the side of the bowl. Add the sugar and mix to incorporate.
