Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup whole milk

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a mini muffin pan with mini cupcake liners.

Step 2

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

Step 3

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

Step 4

Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, beating until fully incorporated and smooth.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients in two additions, alternating with the milk. Start and end with the flour mixture. Mix just until combined; do not overmix.

Step 6

Using a small scoop or spoon, fill each mini cupcake liner about 3/4 full with the batter.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 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.

Step 9

Once cooled, frost the mini cupcakes with your favorite frosting or enjoy them plain.
