Easy Homemade Vanilla Cupcakes Recipe

Ingredients

• 0.75 cup superfine sugar
• 0.67 cup butter, softened
• 3 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups self-rising flour
• 0.25 cup milk

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your muffin tin by greasing it or lining each cup with a paper liner. Then, gather all of your ingredients for baking.
2. In a large bowl, cream together the sugar and butter using an electric mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy. Incorporate the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is well combined before adding the next.
3. Mix in the vanilla extract. Gradually add the flour mixture, alternating with the milk, and mix until just combined – be careful not to overmix! Evenly distribute the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 of the way.
4. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a light press on the tops causes them to spring back. Once baked, remove the cupcakes from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Frost and serve!
