Vanilla Bean Cupcakes that are delicious and smell great are sure to satisfy your sweet tooth. The real vanilla bean seeds make it taste and look even better.
Ingredients: 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour. 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder. 1/4 teaspoon salt. 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened. 1 cup granulated sugar. 2 large eggs. 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract. 1 vanilla bean, seeds scraped. 1/2 cup whole milk.
Instructions: Start by heating the oven to 350F 175C. You can line a cupcake tin with paper liners. Mix flour, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl with a whisk. Put away. Melt the butter and mix it with the sugar in another bowl until the mixture is light and fluffy. One at a time, add the eggs and beat well after each one. Add the vanilla extract and the vanilla bean seeds that have been scraped off. Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture slowly, mixing them in with the milk every so often. Start with the dry ingredients and end with the milk. Don't mix any further than that. Fill each cupcake liner about two thirds of the way to the top with batter. After the oven is hot, bake the cupcakes for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick stuck in the middle comes out clean. Take the cupcakes out of the oven and let them cool for a few minutes in the pan. Then, move them to a wire rack to cool completely. You can frost the cupcakes with your favorite frosting once they are cool, or you can eat them plain.
