Hello Everyone! Happy Fiesta Friday!! I am running so behind this morning, I have a doctor’s appointment in a few so today is going to be short and sweet. Not only the post, but the recipe is really pretty quick to make and oh so sweet! 🙂
The result ….yummy!
Ingredients: 2/3 cup (130 grams) granulated white sugar 3 large eggs 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract 1 1/2 cups (195 grams) all-purpose flour 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/4 cup (60 ml) milk Directions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (177 degrees C) and line 12 muffin cups with paper liners. In a medium bowl, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the vanilla extract and milk. In a separate bowl mix together, flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the flour mixture and blend well. Evenly fill the muffin cups with the batter and bake for about 17 – 20 minutes or just until set and a toothpick inserted into a cupcake comes out clean. (I always check a few minutes before the stated baking time. My oven seems to bake hotter than some. If you over bake the cupcakes will be dry. There have been times when I did over cooked going by the time the recipe stated.) Remove from oven and cool. Once the cupcakes have completely cooled, frost with icing. If you want flat-topped cupcakes then slice off the dome of each cupcake, with a sharp knife, before frosting. I do not have a frosting bag to pipe the frosting, so I hand spread mine with a knife. Confectioners (Buttercream) Frosting: 2 cups (230 grams)confectioners sugar (icing or powdered sugar), sifted 1/2 cup (113 grams) unsalted butter, room temperature 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract 2 tablespoons milk Assorted food colors (if desired) In your mixer, cream the butter until smooth and well blended; add the vanilla extract, then gradually beat in the sugar. Add the milk and beat on high-speed until frosting is light and fluffy (about 3-4 minutes). Add a little more milk or sugar, if needed. Color the frosting with food color, if you like. Just Right Vanilla Cupcakes
1/2 cup (113 grams) unsalted butter, room temperature
Delicious cupcakes, Arl! The sprinkles add the perfect touch of happiness. 🙂

My family has requested that I only use mixes for cakes because I can’t seem to make them taste good from scratch. But armed with your recipe, I hope I can finally get great results. You certainly did. Thanks for sharing these cupcakes!

I’d happily grab a couple of these and head to a quiet corner! And get my teeth sunk straight in. Actually, I try not to eat this sort of thing at parties as I’m such a klutz. If only I could find a bib that’s fashionable!

I like cupcakes better than regular cake because there is a better ratio of cake to icing! These vanilla cupcakes look delicious…and with the right amount of icing. Umyum.
