Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (softened)
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream the softened butter until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs to the butter, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then add the vanilla extract and mix until combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients in three parts, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Divide the batter evenly among the 12 cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cupcakes from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before frosting or serving.
