Scale
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs, room temperature
- 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- ¾ cup whole milk
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake pan with paper liners.
- In a bowl, whisk together flour and baking powder until well combined.
- In another bowl, beat softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
- Gradually add the flour mixture and milk alternately to the butter mixture, mixing gently to avoid overmixing.
- Fill each cupcake liner about two-thirds full with batter.
