These cupcakes are everything a vanilla cupcake should be—soft, fluffy, and full of buttery vanilla flavor. Plus, they mix up in one bowl. No fuss, just perfect cupcakes every time.

Ingredients:

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour (190g)

1 cup granulated sugar (200g)

½ cup oil (120ml)

¾ cup buttermilk (180ml)

¼ cup cornstarch (32g)

2 large eggs

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 tsp butter flavoring

1 tsp baking soda

½ tsp salt

¼ tsp baking powder

Preparation:

1.      Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake pan with liners.

2.      Whisk it up! In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, vanilla, butter flavoring, salt, and sugar until smooth and slightly thickened.

3.      Add the magic. Pour in the buttermilk and oil and mix until combined.

4.      Dry ingredients, activate! In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and baking powder. Add it to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined.

5.      Fill & bake. Divide batter evenly into 12 cupcake liners, filling each about ⅔ full. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the tops spring back when lightly touched.

6.      Cool & frost! Let cupcakes cool completely before frosting. Or, you know…eat one warm because life is short.

These cupcakes are light, moist, and dangerously good. Frost them with your favorite buttercream, and prepare for compliments!
