Homemade Yellow Cupcakes

Ingredients

• 0.75 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons unbleached all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.67 cups white sugar
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter , at room temperature
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.33 cups milk

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.

2. 2

   Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl until well blended.

3. 3

   Combine sugar and butter in a medium bowl with an electric mixer until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add eggs and vanilla extract; beat until combined, about 2 minutes. Pour into the flour mixture and beat, while adding milk, until just blended. Don't overmix. Fill the prepared muffin cups with batter, 2/3 to 3/4 full.

   Bake in the preheated oven until tops spring back when lightly pressed, 15 to 20 minutes. Cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
