Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoons Baking Powder
  • ¼ teaspoon Salt
  • 2 pieces Eggs, room temperature
  • ⅔ cup Sugar
  • ¾ cup Unsalted Butter, melted
  • 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
  • ½ cup Milk
  • 2 cups Confectioners' Sugar
  • 1 cup Unsalted Butter, softened
  • ½ teaspoon Vanilla Extract (for frosting)
  • 1 teaspoon Heavy Whipping Cream

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  • Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt, then set this dry mixture aside.
  • Using an electric mixer, beat the eggs and sugar for 1-2 minutes until light yellow.
  • Slowly pour in the melted butter and vanilla extract while continuing to mix.
  • Gradually mix in the milk and the dry ingredients, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  • Spoon the batter into the cupcake liners, filling them about ¾ full.
  • Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Allow to cool completely.
  • In a clean bowl, cream together the confectioners' sugar and softened butter with an electric mixer.
  • Add the vanilla extract and heavy whipping cream, mixing until fully combined and smooth.
  • Use a piping bag to frost the completely cooled cupcakes. Add decorations as desired.

Notes

  • For best results, measure ingredients precisely and ensure they're at room temperature.
  • Do not overmix to maintain cupcake tenderness.
