Are you wondering how to make vanilla cupcakes from scratch? Well, get your sweet tooth ready! We’re sharing a step-by-step guide for delicious homemade vanilla cupcakes. Who wants to get their baking on?! Let’s go…

Homemade Vanilla Cupcakes - Step-by-step tutorial on how to make your own batch of homemade vanilla cupcakes.

Hi, everyone! It’s me, Lisa, and I am thrilled to show you our easy recipe for homemade vanilla cupcakes.

I recently shared my Bird’s Nest Cupcakes. Since that recipe calls for vanilla cupcakes, I wanted to give you this recipe for Homemade Vanilla Cupcakes so that you’re not running to the store to buy cupcakes to decorate.

I love baking cupcakes because they are so much fun to decorate. The sky’s the limit with the possibilities. On Fabulous Habits, I whipped up my magical Unicorn Cupcakes and let me tell you: they were a huge hit with my family!

Step-by-step tutorial on how to make your own batch of homemade vanilla cupcakes.

Homemade vanilla cupcakes are not intimidating to make at all. In fact, you likely already have the ingredients in your pantry.

Here’s how to make them…

Cupcake Lining

Line your muffin pan.
Cupcake Liners

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and line a muffin pan with cupcake liners. Set aside.

Dry Ingredients

Dry Ingredients for Vanilla Cupcakes

Sift together your dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, and salt. If you don’t have a sifter (like me!), I put all the dry ingredients in a small bowl and mix them with a whisk.

Prep the Wet Ingredients

Using an electric mixer, beat together butter and granulated sugar until creamy.

Here’s a quick tip: if you’ve forgotten to soften the butter, you can put it in the microwave for 8-15 seconds… or follow this baking hack. Heat an empty glass or measuring cup with boiling water, empty the water and place the glass over a stick of butter for 15 minutes.

Wet Ingredients for Vanilla Cupcakes

Add eggs.

Continue mixing your wet ingredients while adding vanilla extract.

All Together Now!

Now it’s time to get all the ingredients together. Slowly add your dry ingredients into the mix alternating with your half cup of milk.

Start with the dry ingredients and end with the dry ingredients. I like to pour my dry ingredients in thirds and my milk, twice.

Scoop and Bake

Using an ice cream scoop, fill each section of your lined muffin pan with batter – filling it up about 2/3 of the way. Alternatively, you can use a ¼ measuring cup.
