    Sure! Here’s a simple recipe for classic vanilla cupcakes:

    Ingredients:

    • 1 1/2 cups (190g) all-purpose flour
    • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
    • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
    • 1/2 cup (120ml) milk
    • 2 large eggs
    • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
    • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
    • 1/4 teaspoon salt

    Instructions:

    1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners.

    2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

    3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.

    4. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.

    5. Combine Ingredients: Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.

    6. Fill Cupcake Liners: Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full.

    7. Bake: Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

    8. Cool: Allow cupcakes to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before frosting.

    Optional Frosting:

    • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
    • 2 cups (250g) powdered sugar
    • 2 tablespoons milk
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

    Instructions: Beat the butter until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract, beating until smooth and fluffy.

    Enjoy your homemade cupcakes!
