Description

Light, fluffy, and full of flavor, these vanilla cupcakes are made with simple ingredients for a delicious treat perfect for any occasion.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3/4 cup superfine sugar
  • 2/3 cup butter, softened
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups self-rising flour

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line the cups with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, beat the sugar and softened butter with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  4. Mix in the vanilla extract, then stir in the self-rising flour just until combined. Avoid overmixing.
  5. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes, or until the cupcake tops spring back when lightly pressed.
  7. Cool the cupcakes in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For added flavor, top with your favorite frosting and sprinkles. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
