Vanilla cupcakes

I've tried a lot of white cupcake recipes. Many turn out too flat or dry. I came across this one on a blog site and it's really good. It looks like an adaptation of the Magnolia bakery recipe but I'm not sure. Either way, it's good!

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup (1-1/2 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1-2/3 cups vanilla sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2-2/3 cups flour

  • 3/4 cup + 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 vanilla bean, seeds scraped out

  1. Beat butter until softened. Add sugar and beat until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
  2. Add eggs, one at a time, beating until well combined.
  3. Measure the flour, baking powder, and salt into a medium bowl and whisk to combine.
  4. Measure out the milk and vanilla and stir to combine.
  5. Add about a third of the dry ingredients to the butter/sugar and beat to combine. Add about a half of the milk/vanilla and beat to combine. Continue adding, alternating between dry and wet and finishing with the dry.
  6. Scoop batter into cupcake cups about 2/3’s full. Bake at 350 degrees for about 22-25 minutes or until a cake tester comes out clean.
