Dessert is something that all of us crave since it warms the heart rather than the stomach. A bite into a moist vanilla cupcake with our preferred frosting can brighten or improve a day. Everyone enjoys these cute, tiny mini-cakes as a snack.
1 cup of all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon of baking powder ½ cup of butter 1 cup of sugar 2 eggs Vanilla extract, as needed ½ cup of milk 2 cups of powdered sugar Salt as needed
In a mixing bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with milk.
Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners. Divide batter evenly among the cupcake liners and bake for 18-20 minutes.
Allow the cupcakes to cool completely before frosting.
Make the frosting by beating butter until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract.
Once smooth, frost the cooled cupcakes and decorate as desired.
