Ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter
• 2 pieces large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup whole milk
• 0.25 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar together using a hand or stand mixer on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Mix in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

Lower the mixer speed to low and alternate adding the dry ingredients and the milk to the butter mixture. Start and end with the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Use a spoon or ice cream scoop to evenly divide the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each liner about two-thirds full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the cupcakes from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Frost and decorate as desired, or enjoy plain!
