Ingredients for the Cupcakes:

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

• 1/4 teaspoon salt

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

Ingredients for the Vanilla Buttercream Frosting:

Instructions

Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners. This recipe makes approximately 12 cupcakes.

Sift and Mix Dry Ingredients

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Sifting the dry ingredients will ensure a smooth and lump-free batter.

Cream Butter and Sugar

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes with an electric mixer.

Fun fact!

In the early 19th century, cupcakes were sometimes called number cakes because the ingredients were often measured by the cupful, making them easy to remember and recreate. So baking up a batch of cupcakes was as simple as remembering the numbers!

Add Eggs and Vanilla

Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, add in the pure vanilla extract and mix until well combined.

Alternate Flour and Milk

Gradually add the dry ingredients and the milk in three parts, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

Fill the Cupcake Liners

Using a cookie scoop or spoon, divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full.

Bake and Cool

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 tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Whip Up the Buttercream Frosting

While the cupcakes are cooling, prepare the vanilla buttercream frosting. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk, and beat until light and fluffy.

Frost and Decorate

Once the cupcakes are completely cool, pipe or spread the buttercream frosting onto the cupcakes. Get creative with your decorations - sprinkles, edible flowers, or a dusting of powdered sugar all work wonderfully!

Tips You Might Need

To ensure light and fluffy cupcakes, make sure all your ingredients (like butter, eggs, and milk) are at room temperature. This allows for better emulsification and a smoother batter, resulting in tender, well-risen cupcakes. So, plan ahead and let your ingredients sit out for about 30 minutes before you start baking!
