Vanilla Cupcakes Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups flour – pour flour into measuring cup with a spoon, until it comes up above the measuring cup and then level off with the back of a knife – do not scoop the measuring cup into the flour or you will end up with too much flour and cupcakes will be dry.
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon fine salt – I use sea salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter – room temperature
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 2 large eggs – lightly whisked – room temperature
- 1/3 cup (whole) milk – room temperature
- 1 teaspoons pure vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. If you using a dark or dull colored muffin tin, heat oven to 325 degrees F, to prevent over baking. Place 12 liners in a cupcake tin.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
- Combine the milk and vanilla in a measuring cup with a spout. Set aside.
- With the paddle attachment of stand mixer or using a hand mixer, beat the butter and sugar on medium high speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. With the mixer on, pour half of the whisked eggs into the mixing bowl and beat until combined. Add the rest of the egg and mix until combined. Scrape the bowl.
- With the mixer on low, add the flour in 3 additions – alternating with the milk mixture in 2 additions. Begin and end with the flour. Do not over mix. Scrape the bowl and mix any remaining flour by hand, just until the flour disappears into the batter. Do not stir.
- Distribute batter evenly among cupcake liners, about ½ full. Smooth with the back of a spoon and gently tap tin on the counter a few times to release any air bubbles.
- Place tin on center rack of oven. Bake for about 16-20 minutes or until a toothpick or cake tester inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean. Test cupcakes about 15 minutes into baking time and if you see a few moist crumbs, they only have about another 1-2 minutes baking time left. Over baked cupcakes will be dry and crumbly. Move tin to wire rack to cool for about 5-10 minutes, before removing cupcakes to the rack to cool completely before frosting. Recipe by: Diane Kometa
