I use this recipe for cupcakes a lot, and sometimes change it up. Recently I used it as a base for green tea cupcakes. In any case, it’s pretty much like everyone else’s recipe. But since you asked, here it is.
ingredients:
2 sticks of butter, softened
2 cups sugar
4 large eggs
2-3/4 cups all purpose flour
1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a muffin tin with paper liners.
Whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.
Beat the butter and sugar together until fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating after each one.
Add the vanilla to the milk. Beat the butter mixture on low, alternately adding the flour mixture and the milk. Scrape down the sides of the bowl to make sure everything gets mixed.
Fill 2/3 of the way full, and bake for about 15+ minutes, depending on your oven. Use a cake tester to check and let cool on a wire rack.
Kid's lunches, simple dinners and a whole lot of geeky baking.

Hey there, I was reading your post and I just wanted to thank you for putting out such great content. There’s so much crap on the internet these days its hard to find anything worthwhile. I actually have cooked this recipe before, I got this book last month on recommendation from a friend http://ninjahq.com/go/cookingrecipes and it turned out very nice! I’m very eager to try your variation of it though, it looks excellent. I think you might enjoy those recipes, they’re very good. Thanks for the article and great ideas.
Can you add food coloring and fresh fruit to the cake recipe or substitute the vanilla with lemon or lime juice? Building a birthday cake for my sister and I want to do something over the top for her.
