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-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until combined.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 5

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry mixture, mixing on medium speed until the batter is smooth and creamy. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full.

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

Optional Frosting: To make frosting, beat the confectioners' sugar and butter in a bowl until light and fluffy. Gradually add the milk and vanilla extract, and continue to beat until smooth.
