Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375 F and prepare a 12-cup muffin tin by lining with sprayed cupcake papers or greasing the cups.
Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar in one bowl.
In a separate large bowl, whisk buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and flavorings until smooth.
Gradually stir the flour mixture into the wet ingredients until a smooth batter forms.
Fill the prepared muffin cups two-thirds full with batter.
Bake for 16 to 18 minutes until lightly browned, then cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring cupcakes to a rack to cool completely.
For the frosting, beat butter with 1 cup confectioners' sugar until smooth.
Add maple syrup, 2 more cups confectioners' sugar, 2 tablespoons cream, and maple and vanilla extracts; beat until light and fluffy, adjusting with more sugar or cream as needed.
Apply the frosting onto the completely cooled cupcakes.
