ingredients

1 cup butter, softened
2 cups brown sugar, packed
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon almond extract
6 egg whites
3 cups flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 cup milk

DELICATE ICING
1/2 cup margarine, softened
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 cups powdered sugar
2 tablespoons milk

directions

Cream butter and sugar, adding sugar gradually, until light and fluffy. Add vanilla and almond flavoring. Then mix flour, milk and baking powder into batter in three stages. Beat until smooth.

Whip egg whites in a separate bowl until soft peaks form. Gently fold egg whites into batter. Spoon into paper-lined cupcake pans and bake at 350 degrees F for 15-18 minutes. Let cool before icing.

For icing, cream butter and margarine, then add vanilla. Gradually add the sugar. Mixture will appear rather dry. Finally, add milk. Beat on high speed until the icing is light and fluffy. Keep extra icing in a closed container in the refrigerator.

This is definitely one of the more exquisite cupcake recipes I've made, and I do a lot of baking. They are great for special occasions because they so clearly aren't made from a mix. Very impressive recipe.
