🧁 Vanilla Cupcakes Ingredients This recipe makes about 12 cupcakes. * 1½ cups all-purpose flour * ¾ cup sugar * ½ cup butter, softened * 2 large eggs * ½ cup milk * 1 teaspoon vanilla extract * 1½ teaspoons baking powder * ¼ teaspoon salt Instructions 1. Preheat the oven Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Place cupcake liners into a 12-cup muffin pan. 2. Mix the butter and sugar In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar together for about 2–3 minutes, until the mixture becomes light and creamy. 3. Add the eggs and vanilla Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each egg. Then add the vanilla extract and mix until combined. 4. Add the dry ingredients In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix gently until everything is just combined. Do not overmix, because this can make the cupcakes less soft. 5. Fill the cupcake liners Divide the batter evenly between the cupcake liners. Fill each one about two-thirds full to leave room for the cupcakes to rise. 6. Bake Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few small crumbs. 7. Cool Let the cupcakes cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a plate or cooling rack. Allow them to cool completely before decorating.
