Vanilla Cupcakes made from scratch should be a staple recipe in every bakers’ arsenal. This recipe makes a small batch perfect to satisfy a craving.
VANILLA CUPCAKES
I first found this recipe for Vanilla Cupcakes in USA Weekend then made a couple adjustments. I love that it only makes 12-18 cupcakes (depending on how full you fill the wells) so you don’t have dozens of cupcakes in your house.
This recipe calls for self rising flour, which I often don’t keep stocked in my pantry. If you don’t either, you can use this hack – whisk 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt into 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour. Boom – self rising flour.
I took a shortcut and used store bought frosting (hey, the cupcakes are from scratch so it’s totally allowed), but if you want to make buttercream, I recommend this one or this one.
