There’s something irresistibly comforting about homemade vanilla cupcakes. They remind me of sunny afternoons at my grandmother’s house, where the scent of vanilla seemed to hug you as soon as you walked through the door. Perfect for any occasion, these ultimate vanilla cupcakes are a hit with kids and adults alike.
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour,
- 1 1/4 tsp baking powder,
- 1/2 tsp salt,
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature,
- 3/4 cup sugar,
- 2 large eggs,
- 2 tsp vanilla extract,
- 1/2 cup whole milk
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
With an electric mixer, beat the butter and sugar together until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, mixing well after each addition.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
Scoop the batter into the prepared cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
