There is one fact concerning this recipe for a Vanilla cupcake – True fact is that it is the best cupcake I have ever made…or eaten! I have definitely been on a fruit & tart kick but these lil puppies kinda reminded me of my love for cake and icing too.
So with that being said if you are ever in need of a dessert for a potluck or need to make something for the kid’s party – consider these at the top of that list.
Delightfully X 10 borrowed from : The diggity VANILLA CUPCAKES
INGREDIENTS
1 3/4 cups cake flour, not self-rising
1 1/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
2 cups sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, cut into 1-inch cubes
4 large eggs
1 cup whole milk
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
DIRECTIONS
1. Preheat oven to 325°. Line cupcake pans with paper liners; set aside. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine flours, sugar, baking powder, and salt; mix on low speed until combined. Add butter, mixing until just coated with flour.
2. In a large glass measuring cup, whisk together eggs, milk, and vanilla. With mixer on medium speed, add wet ingredients in 3 parts, scraping down sides of bowl before each addition; beat until ingredients are incorporated but do not overbeat.
3. Divide batter evenly among liners, filling about two-thirds full. Bake, rotating pan halfway through, until a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean, 17 to 20 minutes.
INGREDIENTS FOR THE BUTTER CREAM.. I INSIST
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
6 to 8 cups confectioners' sugar
1/2 cup milk
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
DIRECTIONS
1. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream butter until smooth and creamy, 2 to 3 minutes. With mixer on low speed, add 6 cups sugar, milk, and vanilla; mix until light and fluffy. If necessary, gradually add remaining 2 cups sugar to reach desired consistency.
I CONFESS I LEFT OUT THE MILK, SO GOOD ANYWAYS!

Get in my belly!!!! Your pics are so adorable for this post and the little helper...........such cuteness!
It's the sprinkles that make these so fun. I'm generally a chocolate fan but these look tasty to me.
All vanilla cupcakes should be covered with rainbow sprinkles...it should be mandatory. Your sweet girl looks so precious, as always, and your baked goods are making me drool (once again!) Thanks for sharing!
Yummy! The only thing I love better than chocolate is...well nothing. But vanilla is a close second. These look festive and wonderful.
Vanilla cupcakes look awesome..but your little assistant is the cutest..the cake must have tasted extra nice!

What a lovely cupcake and adorable assistant :)
I bow to these.
Those look great! I want a bite. Thanks for sharing the recipe. It sounds so delish:) I like how much buttercream you put on them too, my kinda gal..lol
Making these tomorrow! I have everything on hand, so why not? They'll be perfect after some yummy lasagna for dinner!
Let you know how they turn out!
Seriously your little girl makes me want to up and get preggers straight away - and I'm allergic to children! She is TOO much. And so are your baked goods lately. I thought the Halloween cookies were out of this world but these cupcakes make me want to give up every promise to myself to eat better and dive into the batter head first.
Your assistant has a very darling apron! I love vanilla cupcakes...and I love sprinkles on vanilla cupcakes! :)
MMMM vanilla cupcakes!! If it was close to bedtime I would be in my kitchen wipping those bad boys up!!! (but I might have to put on some strawberry frosting!)
Oh, I just love a vanilla cupcake. I like to try new flavors, but at the end of the day, vanilla is my absolute favorite. These look wonderful, Jen! And what an adorable assistant you have!
Can I have one, please?!?!? ;)
Looks like the perfect vanilla cupcake. And what an adorable assistant too!
Those look great! I love Indigo's apron!
