          Sure! Here’s a simple recipe for classic vanilla cupcakes:

          Ingredients:

          • 1 1/2 cups (190g) all-purpose flour
          • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
          • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
          • 1/2 cup (120ml) milk
          • 2 large eggs
          • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
          • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
          • 1/4 teaspoon salt

          Instructions:

          1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners.

          2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

          3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.

          4. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.

          5. Combine Ingredients: Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.

          6. Fill Cupcake Liners: Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full.

          7. Bake: Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

          8. Cool: Allow cupcakes to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before frosting.

          Optional Frosting:

          • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
          • 2 cups (250g) powdered sugar
          • 2 tablespoons milk
          • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

          Instructions: Beat the butter until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract, beating until smooth and fluffy.

          Enjoy your homemade cupcakes!
