Vanilla Cupcakes
Ingredients:
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
3/4 cups granulated sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 cup whole milk, room temperature
Instructions
These tasty vanilla cupcakes are simple, sweet and easy to make. Frost with your favorite icing and they make the perfect anytime treat.
​
1. Combine the flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder in a small bowl; set aside.
​
2. In a medium mixing bowl beat the butter and sugar until creamy, scraping the bowl several times. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, continue to mix until all ingredients are combined and batter is smooth.
3. Add half of the dry ingredients to the batter and mix until mostly combined. Slowly add the milk and mix until well combined. The batter will look curdled, as you continue to mix it will smooth out. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed to be sure all ingredients are well incorporated.
​
4. Fill the cupcake liners about 3/4 full and bake for 15-18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
What you'll end up with is a sweet and moist vanilla cupcake that your entire family will love.
