Moist vanilla cupcakes

Cupcakes are my favorite form of sweet ever since I first discovered them. I love how easy to make are and how well received by the audience. I enjoy making cakes and sweets for loved ones. If you want moist vanilla cupcakes, this is the recipe to use. Simple and delicious, you can use it with your favorite type of frosting.

When I was a child, my mother would bake from time to time madeleines. I can still remember the excitement I was waiting by the oven for the madeleines to be ready. And I was eating them hot, no need for frosting or something else except for her madeleines. Years went by, and the recipe was lost, and I soon started to make muffins and cupcakes myself.

I fell in love with this recipe one time when I had to make more than 100 cupcakes for a special event. Every single member of my family left with some cupcakes that day, including the guy that brought the catering food. He even called later to ask for the recipe.

It does not matter if you need a dozen cupcakes or ten dozens; this recipe is straightforward to make and tasty. What I love most is that you don’t need to use an electric mixer; you just need a whisk (or two).

When making the moist vanilla cupcakes recipe use all-purpose white flour. Don’t use self-raising flour, as you will not get the same result.

How to make Moist Vanilla Cupcakes

Mix dry ingredients: flour, sugar (you can use white sugar or brown sugar), baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, mix wet ingredients: milk, oil, egg, vanilla essence. Add wet ingredients on the dry ingredients and mix them very well. Then add the water until you get a liquid batter.

Although the batter is liquid, the cupcakes will bake with no problems.

In the end, I made some Arizona Iced Tea inspired cupcakes. I decorated them with light green frosting and the most precious pink sprinkles I could find in the store.

You can store the cupcakes for three days in the fridge, and you can also freeze them without frosting. When you are ready to use them, let them slowly defrost and afterward decorate them. Depending on the sprinkles and the type of frosting you are usually using, add the sprinkles before serving. This prevents them from melting.
