If you're craving something sweet, these Heavenly Vanilla Cupcakes are a great treat. They're great for any event because they have a soft crumb and a rich vanilla flavor.
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. 1/2 cup whole milk.
Instructions: Preheat your oven to 350F 175C. Line a cupcake pan with cupcake liners. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry mixture. Mix until just combined. Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 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 a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, you can frost and decorate the cupcakes as desired.
