Calories: 175kcal
Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1½ tsp baking powder
- ¾ tsp salt
- 12 tbsp unsalted butter softened
- 1½ cups sugar
- 4 eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1¼ cups whole milk
Instructions
- Heat oven to 350ºF. Line cupcake pans with liners; set aside. Whisk together flour, baking powder and salt, set aside.
- In mixing bowl, beat together butter and sugar until light, about 3 min. Add eggs and vanilla and combine, scraping sides of bowl. Stir in flour mixture and milk alternately in 3 parts, starting and ending with flour.
- Divide batter among liners; fill standard cups ¾ full and mini cups just below the top. Bake until tops spring back when lightly pressed, about 20 min for standard, 15 min for mini. Cupcakes will stay a light color, so don’t wait until they are golden. Cool completely on racks.
- Ice with Fluffy Vanilla Frosting and decorate with candies.
Notes
Makes 3 dozen Mini Cupcakes
Unlike many vanilla cupcake recipes, this one doesn't brown. Don't look for a golden color as the cake bakes, if you see it they are overdone! They are beautiful blonde cupcakes, with a fine crumb and rich taste. Enjoy!Nutrition
