Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ¾ cups (220g) all-purpose flour, sifted
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup (113g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • ½ cup (120ml) dry rosé wine
  • ¼ cup (60ml) whole milk, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 cup (227g) unsalted butter, softened (for frosting)
  • 3 cups (360g) powdered sugar, sifted
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) rosé wine (for frosting)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for frosting)
  • Pinch of salt (optional, for frosting)
  • 1–2 sheets edible gold leaf
  • Fresh edible flowers or rose petals (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together sifted flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream softened butter and granulated sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Beat in eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
  5. Slowly add rosé wine and lemon zest, mixing on low speed until combined.
  6. Add flour mixture in three parts, alternating with milk, starting and ending with flour. Mix on low speed just until combined after each addition.
  7. Fill cupcake liners about 2/3 full with batter.
  8. Bake for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Tops should spring back lightly when touched.
  9. Transfer cupcakes to a cooling rack and let cool completely before frosting.
  10. For frosting: Beat softened butter until creamy. Gradually add sifted powdered sugar, mixing on low speed.
  11. Add rosé wine, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt; increase speed to high and beat until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  12. Frost each cupcake generously using a piping bag or spatula.
  13. Carefully place small pieces of edible gold leaf on top of the frosting using a dry brush or tweezers.
  14. Optionally, decorate with fresh edible flowers or rose petals.

Notes

Use room temperature butter and eggs for best texture. Avoid overmixing flour to keep cupcakes tender. If frosting is too soft, chill for 10 minutes before piping. Handle edible gold leaf gently with a dry brush or tweezers to prevent tearing. Store cupcakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; bring to room temperature before serving. Freeze unfrosted cupcakes up to 2 months; thaw completely before frosting.
