Ingredients
For the cupcake base
- ¾ cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- 6 egg whites
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup rosé wine of choice

- 1 cup butter softened
- 2 tablespoon strawberry jam
- ½ cup rosé wine
- 2 cups confectioners' sugar
- 1-2 drops red food colouring (optional)
- sprinkles for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350° Line 18 cupcake tins with paper liners and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine butter and granulated sugar. Cream with an electric mixer.
- Add egg whites and continue to beat on high until light and fluffy. Add vanilla extract and beat until combined.
- With mixer on low speed, add flour in 3 parts alternating with wine, until just combined (do not overmix or cupcakes will be dense).
- Scoop batter into lined cupcake tins (about ⅔ full). Bake for 20 minutes or until top of cupcakes bounces back to the touch. Cool completely on wire rack.
- For the frosting, beat butter until light and fluffy. With mixer on low, add confectioners sugar, jam and food colouring. Add wine in 1 tablespoon increments until desired consistency is achieved (if frosting is too stiff, add more wine).
