Cupcakes are a delightful treat that can be enjoyed on any occasion. This basic cupcake recipe is easy to follow and yields soft, fluffy, and delicious cupcakes that can be customized with your favorite frosting and toppings. Gather your ingredients and let's get started!
- Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature before you start. This ensures they mix together more easily, creating a smoother batter.
- Cream the butter and sugar together for at least 3-5 minutes until light and fluffy. This helps create a light and airy texture in the cupcakes.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition to make sure they are fully incorporated.
- When combining the flour and milk with the butter mixture, alternate between adding the flour and milk, beginning and ending with the flour. This helps maintain the texture of the batter.
- Do not overmix the batter once the flour has been added, as this can make the cupcakes dense.
- Fill the cupcake liners only two-thirds full to allow room for the cupcakes to rise without overflowing.
- Bake the cupcakes in a preheated oven at the correct temperature to ensure even baking.
- Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of a cupcake. If it comes out clean, the cupcakes are ready.
That's all there is to making these basic cupcakes! Let them cool before adding your favorite frosting and toppings. Whether you're making these for a party, a gift, or a simple treat for yourself, these cupcakes are sure to impress. Enjoy your homemade cupcakes!
