Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter
• 0.5 cups Milk
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.75 cups Raisins
• 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour (for coating raisins)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a medium-sized 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 butter and sugar together 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.

Step 5

Mix in the vanilla extract.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk in two batches. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined (do not overmix).

Step 7

In a small bowl, toss the raisins with 1 tablespoon of flour to coat them lightly. This helps to prevent the raisins from sinking in the batter.

Step 8

Fold the coated raisins gently into the batter using a spatula.

Step 9

Evenly divide the batter among the prepared cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full.

Step 10

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

Step 11

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

Step 12

Optionally, dust with powdered sugar or frost with your favorite icing.
