Vanilla Cupcakes

Ingredients

• 1.5 cup all-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter (softened)
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 eggs
• 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup whole milk

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin pan with cupcake liners.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
3. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
4. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
5. Add the dry ingredients in 2 additions, alternating with the milk, and mix just until combined.
6. Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full.
7. Bake until the tops spring back lightly and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
8. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer the cupcakes to a wire rack to cool completely before frosting or serving.
