Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Cupcake Ingredients
  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 0.5 cups unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 0.5 cups milk can be substituted with almond milk for a dairy-free version
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 0.25 teaspoon salt
Frosting Options
  • to taste Frosting of your choice (buttercream, whipped cream, or cream cheese frosting)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake pan with liners.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, fully incorporating each egg before adding the next. Mix in the vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  6. Spoon the batter into the cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full.
Baking
  1. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  2. Allow the cupcakes to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before frosting.

Notes

For a tropical flavor, consider substituting the butter with coconut oil. Store unfrosted cupcakes in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week or freeze for longer storage. Defrost at room temperature before serving.
