This is my go-to Vanilla Cupcakes recipe! It's simple, reliable, and delicious!
Preheat oven to 350° F. Line cupcake pan with cupcake liners.
In the bowl of your stand mixer add the dry ingredients and mix together using the paddle attachment for about a minute.
With mixer on low, drop in butter, a few cubes at a time continuing until all butter has been incorporated (it should resembles coarse sand). Add eggs one at a time on low speed.
With mixer still on low slowly pour in milk and vanilla. Increase speed to medium and beat for 2 minutes until batter is smooth, light and fluffy, scraping sides of bowl as needed.
Fill liners 2/3 full (approx. 1/4 c.) and bake for 15-20 minutes until center is set and toothpick comes out clean. Be sure to cool completely before frosting.
You can't improve on perfection! These cupcakes needed no adapting whatsoever. They are absolutely perfect! It's important not to overfill the cupcakes. They will spill over the liners if you add too much batter.
