Mini Vanilla Cupcakes
Jennie Duncan
These basic Mini Vanilla Cupcakes are soft and light then topped with a buttercream frosting. A simple cupcake recipe is the best. These are similar to my Vanilla Cupcake Recipes that I baked in a standard-size muffin tin.

Cupcakes:
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 eggs room temperature
- ⅔ cup sugar
- ¾ cup unsalted butter melted
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- ½ cup milk
Frosting:
- 2 cups confectioners' sugar
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon heavy whipping cream
- ¾ cup sprinkles
Cupcakes:
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Prepare a mini muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray. Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt then set aside.
Using an electric mixer to beat eggs and sugar. Beat for 1-2 minutes until eggs are a light yellow. While still mixing very slowly pour in melted butter and vanilla extract.
Slowly mix in milk and your dry ingredients. Adding in a little at a time back and forth, scraping the sides as needed until all ingredients are well combined
Spoon cupcake batter into your prepared mini muffin tin about ¾ the way full. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until cupcakes are cooked through and a toothpick can come out clean. Place on a rack to cool completely before icing.
- Cooking tip: Don't add hot butter to eggs. The butter could actually end up cooking your eggs and you don't want scrambled eggs in your cupcakes. Once your butter is melted allow it to sit for a minute or two and when whisking them into the eggs do it very slowly.
