Bite-Sized Vanilla Cupcakes
Ingredients
  • Cupcakes:
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/3 cup white sugar
  • 1 large egg, at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup milk, at room temperature
  • Frosting:
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, which is equivalent to 175 degrees Celsius. To ensure the muffin tin is ready for use, lightly coat it with non-stick cooking spray or line it with cupcake liners.
2
In a separate bowl, combine the dry ingredients - flour, baking powder, and salt - and sift them together to create a smooth mixture.
3
In another bowl, use an electric mixer to cream butter and sugar until they become light and fluffy. Then, incorporate the egg and vanilla extract into the mixture.
4
Mix in the dry ingredients you prepared earlier and milk, blending them together until just combined. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each one 3/4 full.
5
Place the prepared muffin tin in a preheated oven and bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean, taking 10 to 14 minutes.
6
Allow the cupcakes to cool in the muffin tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack and letting them cool completely, approximately 20 minutes.
7
Simultaneously, combine powdered sugar, butter, and vanilla extract in a bowl to create the frosting. Whip these ingredients together until they are well combined.
8
Once the cupcakes have cooled, use the prepared frosting to decorate them.
