If you’re looking for a foolproof vanilla cupcake recipe that delivers moist, fluffy, and perfectly sweet cupcakes every time, you’re in the right place. Let’s dive into the baking fun!
Ingredients You’ll Need:
- 1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- ½ cup (120ml) milk (whole or your preferred type)
- Sprinkles or any topping of your choice!
For the Buttercream:
- ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
- 3-4 cups (360-480g) powdered sugar
- 2-3 tbsp milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Let’s Get Baking!
-
Preheat your oven to 175°C and line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
-
In a separate large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
-
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract for that perfect flavour burst.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined – don’t over mix! You want your batter to be light and airy.
-
Spoon the batter into your cupcake liners, filling each one about 2/3 of the way.
-
Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let them cool on a wire rack before frosting.
Frosting Time!
- Beat the softened butter in a large bowl until creamy.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, while mixing on low.
- Add vanilla extract and milk, one tablespoon at a time, until your frosting is smooth and spreadable.
Pro Tip: Make it ahead of time so the buttercream has time to set!
Decorate & Enjoy!
Once your cupcakes are completely cooled, spread or pipe on that silky-smooth vanilla buttercream. Add your favorite toppings – sprinkles, chocolate shavings, or a drizzle of caramel – the sky’s the limit!
Pro Tip: These cupcakes freeze beautifully, so you can bake ahead for parties or keep a stash for when those cupcake cravings hit.
