Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1 cup sugar

  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup milk

Directions

  1. Beat butter on high until soft, about 30 seconds.

  3. Add eggs one at a time, beat for 30 seconds between each.

  4. Whisk together flour, baking powder, and baking soda in a bowl.

  5. Measure out milk and vanilla together.

  6. Add about a fourth of the flour to the butter/sugar mixture and beat to combine.

  7. Add about one third the milk/vanilla mixture and beat until combined.

  8. Repeat above, alternating flour and milk and ending with the flour mixture.

  9. Scoop into cupcake papers about half to three-quarters full (depending on whether you want flat or domed cupcakes).

  10. Bake for 20-22 minutes until a cake tester comes out clean.
