Easy Vanilla Cupcakes

Easy vanilla cupcakes. These vanilla cupcakes are very popular around the world. They use creamed butter, cake flour, sour cream, and egg whites (no yolks!) to make a soft and fluffy cake. You can also add vanilla extract and vanilla beans for a classic vanilla taste. You can use a piping tip or a knife to add vanilla buttercream on top.

Baking is like a science experiment! You have to be careful with the measurements and ingredients you use, just like in a lab. For example, using cake flour instead of regular flour makes the cake very fluffy and soft. And if you leave out the egg yolks, the cupcakes will be light and airy. We did some tests and are sure these vanilla cupcakes we made are perfect.

Ingredients to Make Vanilla Cupcakes

This cupcake recipe needs 11 ingredients, like the ones I mention below. It also uses common things like baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar. I’ll tell you why these ingredients are important in this recipe.

Cake Flour: Cake flour is light and makes soft and light cakes and cupcakes. You can find it in the baking aisle next to regular flour. Once you try it, you’ll finish the whole box in no time! But you don’t need it for chocolate cupcakes since cocoa powder is already light.

Softened Butter: Creamed butter and sugar can make your baked goods soft and cake-like. Be sure to use butter that’s at room temperature.

Egg Whites: Did you know that mixing butter and sugar can make your baked goods soft and cake-like? Just make sure your butter is at room temperature before you use it.

Sour Cream: Sour cream is a special ingredient that makes cupcakes fluffy and moist. You can also use plain yogurt, but sour cream makes them even lighter.

Vanilla Extract and Vanilla Beans: To make delicious vanilla cupcakes, use both vanilla bean and vanilla extract. You can find vanilla beans at the store or online. If you can’t find them, you can use vanilla bean paste or just skip it.

Whole Milk: If you’re choosing milk for your recipe, whole milk or 2% milk are the best options. If you don’t have dairy milk, you can use non-dairy milk instead. In this recipe, I use buttermilk, which is a good replacement for sour cream and regular milk in baked goods. But for these cupcakes, the texture is a bit different when using sour cream and whole milk together.
