Vanilla/Chocolate cupcakes

These cupcakes are sweet and buttery & can be used as a basic recipe with any frosting like fresh strawberry frosting, chocolate or vanilla frosting. You can use this recipe to create fun monster cupcakes for Halloween too. I don't remember the source of the recipe as I've been baking this for so long; and was quite a bit over confident while baking too that I didn't check the exact measurement in the recipe & did mistake for vanilla cupcakes. I used more butter that it turned a bit crispy on the top; but it was fine...the inner texture was okay & the taste was awesome. You can try the chocolate cupcakes with the same recipe; just reduce the flour to 1 1/4 cup & add 1/2 cup of cocoa powder.  

Ingredients:

For Vanilla Cupcakes:

Butter 8 tbsp (room temperature) / 113g

1 3/4 cup flour

2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
3/4cup sugar
2 large eggs ( room temperature)
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup whole milk
 

Method:
Preheat oven at 170 C

Sift together flour, cocoa powder,bking powder, & salt.

With an electric mixer on medium-high speed, beat butter and sugar until pale and fluffy ,about 4 minutes. 

Mix in the eggs, one at a time, scraping down sides of bowl as needed, until well blended. 

Mix in vanilla.Add flour mixture in three batches, alternating with milk in two batches, beating until combined after each.

 Divide batter evenly among prepared muffin tins. Bake, rotating tins halfway through, until tops spring back when lightly touched, about 15-20 minutes. Let cool in tins on wire racks.
