Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 18 servings

  • Cupcakes:

  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour

  • ¾ teaspoon baking powder

  • ⅛ teaspoon salt

  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

  • ⅓ cup white sugar

  • 1 large egg, at room temperature

  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

  • ¼ cup milk, at room temperature

  • Frosting:

  • 1 cup powdered sugar

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened

  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 18-cup mini muffin tin or line with cupcake liners.

  2. Sift flour, baking powder, and salt into a bowl.

  3. Whip butter and sugar in a separate bowl with an electric mixer until fluffy. Mix in egg and vanilla extract. Add flour mixture and milk; whip until just combined. Fill the prepared muffin cups 3/4 full with batter.

  4. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 10 to 14 minutes. Cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely, about 20 minutes.

  5. Meanwhile, whip powdered sugar, butter, and vanilla for frosting in a bowl until well combined. Frost cooled cupcakes.
