Method
Baking Instructions
- 1
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it's at the right temperature when you put the cupcakes in.
- 2
Prepare the Cupcake Pan
Line a 6-cup muffin pan with cupcake liners or grease the cups with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- 3
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- 4
Cream Butter and Sugar
In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
- 5
Add Eggs and Vanilla
Add the eggs one at a time to the creamed mixture, beating well after each addition. Then stir in the vanilla extract.
- 6
Combine Mixtures
Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Start and end with the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- 7
Fill Cupcake Liners
Spoon the batter into the prepared cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full to allow room for rising.
- 8
Bake
Place the muffin pan in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- 9
Cool the Cupcakes
Remove the cupcakes from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
