So I have totally been on the hunt for the perfect homemade vanilla cupcake. Every time I go to a cupcake bakery, I’m all, ‘these cupcakes are so light and moist and definitely not from a box, I need to be able to do this.’ I’ve tried several variations so far, and they still didn’t have that, angels singing, eye rolling result I’ve wanted. <\/strong><\/p>\n <\/a>In my endless research <\/a>I want light and fluffy and these are a little more pound cake-esqe. Tasty, just not what I’m looking for, sigh. Now the frosting on the other hand is awesome, full of vanilla, and to keep it from being overly sweet (which I find most buttercreams are) I added in some cream cheese. <\/strong><\/p>\n <\/a>Also, since it’s almost the 4th of July I had to go crazy with themed decorations, which I’m so in love with, the star sprinkles especially. These cupcakes are still delightful, but I’m on the hunt again for the perfect homemade vanilla cupcake. Happy (Early!) Fourth of July!! First, butter into the bowl…<\/p>\n <\/a>after it’s all whipped up, add your eggs…<\/p>\n <\/a>all mixed together, then your sugar…<\/p>\n <\/a>all mixed up, then your milk and vanilla extract…<\/p>\n <\/a>now add your flour, baking powder and salt…<\/p>\n <\/a>all mixed up \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n <\/a>cupcake liners (I just love these!)…<\/p>\n <\/a>batter into the liners…<\/p>\n <\/a>baking, yummy…<\/p>\n <\/a>while these are cooling, time for the frosting, 3 sticks of butter…<\/p>\n <\/a>then cream cheese…<\/p>\n <\/a>then the vanilla bean…<\/p>\n <\/a>the the powdered sugar and vanilla extract…<\/p>\n <\/a>delicious!!<\/p>\n <\/a>yummy!!!<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n for the holy grail of cupcakes<\/del> I stumbled upon this cupcake recipe which was touted as ‘the best homemade vanilla cupcake’ and I was all, ‘woohoo!’ I couldn’t wait to make these y’all, they smelled amazing baking and I even threw in a little extra vanilla just because. Ok, I have to admit these are definitely good, but not ammaazzing like I want. <\/strong><\/p>\n
