Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.75 cups Unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 units Large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups Buttermilk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
Reduce the mixer speed to low and gradually add the dry ingredients in three additions, alternating with the buttermilk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix just until combined; do not overmix.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.
Allow the cupcakes to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before frosting.
