Vanilla cupcake
Vanilla cupcakes are one of the most classic and beloved American desserts. While their origin is unknown, it is believed that vanilla cupcakes were first introduced in the United States in the early 19th century.
Since then, the vanilla cupcake has undergone many variations and has become a staple in bakeries and home kitchens across the country. Though the classic vanilla cupcake is still a favorite, there are now endless flavor and decoration possibilities, making them a truly versatile dessert.
Whether you enjoy them simple or adorned with frosting and sprinkles, vanilla cupcakes are a delicious treat that is perfect for any occasion.
Advice
When making vanilla cupcakes, it's important to use high quality ingredients to ensure your cupcakes turn out moist and delicious. Start by sifting together all the dry ingredients, including all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Then, add in softened butter, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract. Once the ingredients are nicely blended, scoop the batter into cupcake liners and bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of one of the cupcakes comes out clean. Allow the cupcakes to cool completely before frosting them with your favorite frosting. Enjoy!
