Learn how to make perfect easy vanilla cupcakes from scratch using simple ingredients. They are super soft and moist with intense vanilla flavor!
Ingredients
- 2¼ cups sifted cake flour
- 1¾ cups sugar
- ¾ cup salted butter
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 eggs (separated)
- 2¼ tsp baking powder
- 2 tbsp good quality vanilla extract OR 1 tbsp vanilla emulsion oil
- Vanilla buttercream icing or Chocolate frosting
Instructions
- Add flour and baking powder in a deep mixing bowl and whisk everything together. Keep this aside.
- Separate the eggs and add egg whites in another mixing bowl. Beat them until peaks form and the mixture becomes white and fluffy. Keep this aside.
- In another mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar for about 5-8 minutes. The color of the mixture will change and become pale and creamy.
- Add the egg yolks and vanilla extract and mix again.
- Add the dry flour mixture and milk alternately until everything is just combined. You may have some lumps. Don’t worry. Just don’t over-mix!
- Fold the egg whites into the batter very gently. This batter will be very thick. Don’t try to thin it out by adding extra milk.
- Pour this batter into cupcake liners. Bake at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
- Allow the cupcakes to cool down. Then, frost them in buttercream icing or chocolate frosting.
- I used the star tip to create this pretty design on the top of each cupcake.
Notes
– This recipe yields about 16 cupcakes (I know that’s a weird number but it’s just the way it is)
– I use salted butter, which cuts the sweetness of the cupcakes but you can use unsalted butter.
