Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, softened
- 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.75 cups Milk
- 0.25 cups Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Mix in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in three additions, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined (avoid overmixing).
Divide the batter evenly between the 12 cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full.
Bake in the preheated oven 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 to a wire rack to cool completely.
Optional: Once cooled, dust the tops of the cupcakes with powdered sugar for a decorative touch.
Serve and enjoy your delicious nutmeg cupcakes!
