Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
Wet Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients:
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Heat oven to 350°F and arrange cupcake liners in a standard muffin tin.
- Combine dry ingredients in a mixing bowl, whisking flour, baking powder, and salt until evenly distributed.
- In a separate large bowl, blend butter and sugar using an electric mixer until creamy and pale.
- Incorporate eggs individually into the butter mixture, adding vanilla extract and mixing thoroughly after each addition.
- Slowly fold dry ingredients into wet mixture, alternating with milk to create a smooth, consistent batter.
- Carefully distribute batter evenly into cupcake liners, filling each approximately two-thirds full.
- Bake for 18-22 minutes, checking doneness with a toothpick inserted into the center that comes out clean.
- Remove cupcakes from oven and let cool completely on a wire rack before applying frosting.

Notes
- Perfectly measure ingredients using kitchen scale for consistent cupcake texture and even baking results.
- Bring butter and eggs to room temperature before mixing to ensure smoother batter and better ingredient integration.
- Avoid overmixing batter to prevent tough, dense cupcakes by stopping when ingredients are just combined.
- Customize recipe for gluten-free diets by substituting all-purpose flour with a reliable gluten-free flour blend, maintaining same measurement proportions.
