Ingredients

  • For the Vanilla Cupcakes:
  • 1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • ½ cup (120ml) milk
  • For the Buttercream Frosting:
  • 1 cup (230g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 cups (360g) powdered sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) heavy cream or milk
  • A pinch of salt

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Cupcake Batter

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake pan with paper liners.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a separate large bowl, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients, alternating with the milk, starting and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.

Step 2: Bake the Cupcakes

  1. Fill each cupcake liner about 2/3 full with batter.
  2. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  3. Let the cupcakes cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 3: Make the Buttercream Frosting

  1. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter until smooth and creamy.
  2. Gradually add powdered sugar, beating well after each addition.
  3. Mix in vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.
  4. Add heavy cream or milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the frosting reaches a smooth, fluffy consistency.

Step 4: Frost the Cupcakes

  1. Once the cupcakes have cooled, use a piping bag or a spatula to frost them with buttercream.
  2. Decorate with sprinkles, edible glitter, or any toppings of your choice.
  3. Serve and enjoy your homemade vanilla cupcakes!
