Classic Moist Vanilla Cupcakes

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Classic Moist Vanilla Cupcakes.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C) and get your cupcake pan ready by lining it with 12 cheerful paper liners.

2. Step 2

   In a mixing bowl, grab your electric mixer and cream together the sugar and softened butter until the mixture is light, fluffy, and oh-so-inviting.

3. Step 3

   Next, add in the egg and a splash of vanilla extract, mixing until everything is beautifully combined.

4. Step 4

   In a separate bowl, whisk together the baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

5. Step 5

   Now, it’s time to bring the two mixtures together! Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture, alternating with the milk, and stir gently until just combined—remember, we want to keep that fluffiness intact, so avoid overmixing.

6. Step 6

   Once your batter is ready, spoon it into the prepared cupcake liners, filling each one about two-thirds full to allow for that delightful rise.

7. Step 7

   Pop the pan into your preheated oven and bake for around 18 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

8. Step 8

   After baking, let the cupcakes cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, allowing their sweet aroma to fill your kitchen.

9. Step 9

   Then, carefully transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

    Enjoy the anticipation as you wait for these little treats to be ready for frosting or simply savoring on their own!.
