Ingredients

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

  1. Heat oven to 350°F and arrange cupcake liners in a standard muffin tin.
  2. Combine dry ingredients in a mixing bowl, whisking flour, baking powder, and salt until evenly distributed.
  3. In a separate large bowl, blend butter and sugar using an electric mixer until creamy and pale.
  4. Incorporate eggs individually into the butter mixture, adding vanilla extract and mixing thoroughly after each addition.
  5. Slowly fold dry ingredients into wet mixture, alternating with milk to create a smooth, consistent batter.
  6. Carefully distribute batter evenly into cupcake liners, filling each approximately two-thirds full.
  7. Bake for 18-22 minutes, checking doneness with a toothpick inserted into the center that comes out clean.
  8. Remove cupcakes from oven and let cool completely on a wire rack before applying frosting.
  9. Decorate cupcakes with desired frosting technique to create bunny-themed designs.

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.
