Baby, You're So Classic

Taddaaaa!

Been off a last couple of days so went on a hunt for that classic fluffy vanilla cupcake recipe. I found many that required sour cream. Let's face it, not everyone has sour cream in the fridge, and being that lazy to go downstairs and buy some, I kept browsing for a recipe that had ingredients that I have at home, like you know, sugar, butter, eggs, flour, the things we know when creamed, beaten, combined and baked make CAKE. Yeah cake. Wouldn't hurt for some now right? So yeah being the weekend, the weather was acting up, not a surprise there, and I really didn't want to leave the comfort of my bed.

Classic vanilla cupcake recipe everyone!

What you'll need

3 cups all purpose flour

1 3/4 cups sugar

2 1/2 tspn baking powder

a tspn of salt

1 cup buter (cold, cut into cubes)

4 eggs (since the ones I had were pretty small, I used 5 eggs)

1 cup milk

2 tspns vanilla extract

Funny thing about this recipe is that it asks for the butter to be added to the dry ingredients, making it a coarse mixture, instead of the usual butter and sugar being creamed together.

Preheat your oven to 350 F/180 C.

In a large mixing bowl, add the flour, sugar, salt and baking powder. Mix it all together.

Add in the cold butter making a coarse mixture.

 Beat in the eggs one at a time.

Add the vanilla extract to the milk and pour in half into the batter. Beat for about 1 1/2 minute and then add the rest of the milk mixture.

Line your muffin tray and bake for 20 minutes.

Makes 16 cupcakes.

Your end result must be a soft, fluffy, buttery, intense vanilla cupcake.

Do try it out and let me know in the comments.

Happy Baking!
