Vanilla cupcakes Recipe
I've tried a lot of white cupcake recipes. Many turn out too flat or dry. I came across this one on a blog site and it's really good. It looks like an adaptation of the Magnolia bakery recipe but I'm not sure. Either way, it's good!
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup (1-1/2 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1-2/3 cups vanilla sugar
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 2-2/3 cups flour
- 1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup + 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 vanilla bean, seeds scraped out
Directions
- 1. Beat butter until softened. Add sugar and beat until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
- 2. Add eggs, one at a time, beating until well combined.
- 3. Measure the flour, baking powder, and salt into a medium bowl and whisk to combine.
- 4. Measure out the milk and vanilla and stir to combine.
- 5. Add about a third of the dry ingredients to the butter/sugar and beat to combine. Add about a half of the milk/vanilla and beat to combine. Continue adding, alternating between dry and wet and finishing with the dry.
- 6. Scoop batter into cupcake cups about 2/3âs full. Bake at 350 degrees for about 22-25 minutes or until a cake tester comes out clean.

I had a chance to whip up your vanilla cupcakes with a touch of Kahlua liquor.
Absolutely delicious!!!
I also decided to make them in my mini-muffin pan for little less guilty bites.
Now, how many did I eat...I think I must have lost count while everyone else was doing the same;o)
Thanks for the inspiration.

I just made this recipe. It is very close to the Crave vanilla cupcake. I have been looking for a cupcake with the texture (denseness) of Magnolia's but without the self-rising flour taste. Magnolia's has been my standard for the last 4 years, but this cupcake is better.I've cooked/tasted this recipe!

Cupcakes, Yummy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 
February 20, 2011the cupcakes look very good, but i do not see where i am supposed to use the vanilla bean. nor does it specify which part. i can assume that i am using the seeds and adding them to the milk, but i want the cakes to come out perfectly. can you provide a little further directions on that part? thanks a million.2 replies
