Very Vanilla Cupcakes

Recipe #70923 | 38 min | 18 min prep | add private note

Go the extra mile and make these with the vanilla sugar described below--sensational! These are really wonderful with Coffee-Cream Cheese Frosting (see my recipes for it).

24 cupcakes (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 350*F.
  2. 2
    Grease and flour 24 standard-size muffin cups, or line with paper wrappers; set aside.
  3. 3
    Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
  4. 4
    In a large bowl, using an electric mixer on high speed, cream the butter until light and fluffy.
  5. 5
    Gradually add the sugar; continue beating until very light and fluffy.
  6. 6
    Reduce mixer speed to medium; beat in the eggs, 2 at a time, then the vanilla.
  7. 7
    Reduce mixer speed to low; alternately beat in the flour mixture with the milk, just until blended.
  8. 8
    Spoon the batter into the prepared cups; bake for 20-25 minutes, until the tops are soft but springy.
  9. 9
    Cool 5-10 minutes in the tins on a wire rack; carefully invert and cool completely.
  10. 10
    Frost as desired.
  11. 11
    *For a more intense vanilla flavor, make vanilla sugar: bury a halved vanilla bean in a container of granulated sugar; cover tightly and let stand for a few days to let the flavor develop.
  12. 12
    Stir every so often.
  13. 13
    *.

have made twice and will make again. i have changed this up by using fruit puree and small fruit chunks in place of the milk to have mango vanilla cupcakes as well.

    The cupcakes came out very moist with wonderful flavor. I have a gas oven so I only had to cook for 19 minutes. I will definately make these again.

    I did use vanilla sugar (Dr. Oether's original vanilla sugar) and topped mine with a handful of fruit loops before baking. When cool I sprinkled with confectioners' sugar and the kids went wild. Made for Prop It Up, a tag game.
