Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter (softened)
• 2 Eggs
• 2 teaspoons Pure vanilla extract
• 0.75 cups Whole milk
• 3 cups Powdered sugar (for frosting)
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter (softened, for frosting)
• 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract (for frosting)
• 1 tablespoon Milk (for frosting, optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to beat the softened butter until creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

Step 4

Mix in the vanilla extract. Gradually add the dry ingredients, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until you get a smooth batter, but avoid overmixing.

Step 5

Evenly divide the batter between the prepared cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full.

Step 6

Bake for 16-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let the cupcakes cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 7

To make the frosting, beat the powdered sugar and softened butter together in a mixing bowl until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract and mix well. If needed, add the milk 1 teaspoon at a time to reach your desired frosting consistency.

Step 8

Once the cupcakes are completely cool, use a piping bag or a knife to frost them. Decorate with sprinkles or other toppings as desired.

Step 9

Serve and enjoy!
