Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (softened)
• 2 pieces Eggs (large)
• 1.5 teaspoons Pure vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Whole milk
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together using an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the eggs one at a time to the butter mixture, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

Reduce the mixer speed to low and alternately add the dry ingredients and milk to the wet mixture, starting and ending with the dry ingredients (e.g., add the dry ingredients in three parts and the milk in two parts). Mix just until combined; do not overmix.

Step 6

Using a spoon or cookie scoop, evenly divide the batter among the prepared cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the cupcakes from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Once cooled, decorate with your favorite frosting or enjoy them as is!
