Cupcake Ingredients
Method
Cupcake Directions
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake pan with paper liners.
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Cream Butter and Sugar
In another bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy.
Add Eggs and Vanilla
Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Combine Mixtures
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, starting and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.
Fill Cupcake Liners
Spoon the batter into the prepared cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full.
Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool and Serve
Allow the cupcakes to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before frosting.
