Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, softened
• 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 2 Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.75 cups Milk
• 0.25 cups Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)

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 mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Mix in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in three additions, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined (avoid overmixing).

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly between the 12 cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven 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 to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Optional: Once cooled, dust the tops of the cupcakes with powdered sugar for a decorative touch.

Step 10

Serve and enjoy your delicious nutmeg cupcakes!
