Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter (softened)
• 1 cups Granulated sugar
• 2 Eggs
• 2 teaspoons Pure vanilla extract
• 0.5 cups Milk (dairy or non-dairy alternative)

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 gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together with a hand or stand mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in three additions, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 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 tin for 5 minutes. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before frosting or serving.
