Bake the Cupcakes

Cool Completely

Frost and Serve

Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Vanilla Cupcakes

- Don't overmix the batter; overmixing can lead to tough cupcakes.
- Check for doneness at 18 minutes; baking times may vary slightly depending on your oven.
- For a richer flavor, use vanilla bean paste instead of extract.
