Ingredients:
– 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
– ¼ teaspoon salt
– ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
– 1/3 cup Fibre-24 Syrup*
– 2 large eggs, at room temperature
– 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
– ½ cup whole milk, at room temperature
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and Fibre-24 Syrup until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes, using a hand mixer or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, mix in the vanilla extract until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Fill each cupcake liner about 2/3 full with the batter. You can use an ice cream scoop or spoon to evenly distribute the batter.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean with only a few crumbs attached.
- Remove the cupcakes from the oven and allow them to cool in the muffin tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, you can frost the cupcakes with your favorite frosting, such as vanilla buttercream or cream cheese frosting.
- Decorate with sprinkles, if desired, and enjoy your homemade vanilla cupcakes!
These cupcakes are perfect for any occasion, from birthdays to afternoon tea parties. Enjoy!
Here are some benefits of the Homemade Vanilla Cupcake recipe:
Customizable Flavors: Vanilla cupcakes serve as a versatile base for various flavor combinations. You can customize the frosting or add mix-ins like chocolate chips, fruit, or nuts to the batter to suit your taste preferences.
Control Over Ingredients: By making cupcakes from scratch, you have control over the quality and type of ingredients used. You can opt for organic, non-GMO, or locally sourced ingredients, and you can also adjust the sweetness level to your liking.
No Artificial Preservatives: Unlike store-bought cupcakes that may contain artificial preservatives and additives, homemade cupcakes are made with fresh, natural ingredients, making them a healthier option.
Freshness: Homemade cupcakes are fresher compared to store-bought ones, which may have been sitting on shelves for days. Baking them at home ensures that you enjoy them at their peak freshness and flavor.
