Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 tablespoon red food coloring
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 4 large egg whites
  • 1 cup granulated sugar (for meringue)
  • 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake pan with liners.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  4. Stir in the buttermilk, red food coloring, and vanilla extract.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  7. Fill the cupcake liners about 2/3 full with the batter.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  9. While the cupcakes cool, prepare the meringue by beating the egg whites and cream of tartar until soft peaks form.
  10. Gradually add the sugar and continue to beat until stiff peaks form.
  11. Pipe the meringue onto the cooled cupcakes and toast lightly with a kitchen torch if desired.

Notes

  • Ensure the egg whites are at room temperature for better volume.
  • Store cupcakes in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
  • For a fun twist, add chocolate chips to the batter.
