Ingredients:  

Cupcake Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
  • 1.5 tsp Baking powder
  • 0.5 tsp Salt
  • 0.5 cup Unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup Granulated sugar
  • 2 large Eggs room temperature
  • 2 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 0.5 cup Whole milk room temperature

Instructions: 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • In another bowl, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  • Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full.
  • Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cupcakes to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes:

For extra flavor, you can add a teaspoon of almond extract or lemon zest to the batter.
