Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.75 cups Unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 units Large eggs
• 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
• 0.5 cups Buttermilk

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Reduce the mixer speed to low and gradually add the dry ingredients in three additions, alternating with the buttermilk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix just until combined; do not overmix.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.

Step 7

Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.

Step 8

Allow the cupcakes to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before frosting.
