Cupcake Recipe

Cupcake Directions

1. 1

   Preheat the Oven

   Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that the cupcakes bake evenly.

2. 2

   Prepare the Baking Pan

   Line a cupcake pan with cupcake liners. This will make it easier to remove the cupcakes after baking.

3. 3

   Mix Dry Ingredients

   In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

4. 4

   Cream Butter and Sugar

   In another bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy. Gradually add the granulated sugar, continuing to beat until the mixture is light and fluffy.

5. 5

   Add Eggs and Vanilla

   Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

6. 6

   Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

   Gradually add the dry mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Start and end with the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined.

7. 7

   Fill Cupcake Liners

   Spoon the batter into the prepared cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full.

8. 8

   Bake the Cupcakes

   Place the cupcake pan in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

9. 9

   Cool Down

   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.
