      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!
