How to Make Vanilla Cupcakes Easy Vanilla Cupcake recipe
Hello and welcome back to In the Kitchen with Matt, I am your Host Matt Taylor, today I
am going to show you how to make Vanilla cupcakes, mmm yummy, I love me some cupcakes.
I had a request to make some vanilla cupcakes so here we go that is what we are going to
do.
They are really easy to make if I can make them you can make them, let's get baking.
All right first let's go ahead and preheat our oven to 350 degrees F. or 176 Celsius.
Down below in the description I will have the list of ingredients, and all of the amounts.
All right so what we are going to do first is we are going to take the butter that we
have softened, and we are going to add our sugar, and then with a hand mixer or wooden
spoon or fork, let's go ahead and cream these together.
Scrape down the sides.
All right now what we are going to do is we are going to add in our eggs, our vanilla
extract, our salt, our baking powder, and let's go ahead and cream this together, and
then one time in between give the sides a good scrape.
All right looking good.
And at this point I want to add in my milk and our flour, but I don't want to add it
in all at once, so what I am going to do is I am going to add maybe a third of my milk,
a third of my flour.
And so on until everything is all mixed.
And then at this point I am going to scrape the sides, and then add in the rest of our
milk and the rest of our flour.
Scrape the sides one last time.
The batter is ready to go and now let's just clean off the beaters.
Now we want to fill up our paper cups, now you can fill these up however you like, you
could put the batter in big piping bag, or you could just grab a big spoon and fill them
up this way, it is totally up to you, just try and get the same amount in each one, all
right once you have them ooh roughly about 2 thirds of the way, somewhere around there,
they are ready to be baked.
Go ahead and put them in the oven, middle rack, again 350 degrees F, 176 Celsius, and
bake them for 15 to 20 minutes, until when you poke them with a toothpick they come out
clean.
All right when they come out of the oven they will look something like this, they will have
a light golden brown edge around them, So I am going to let them cool in my pan for
a couple minutes and then transfer them over to my cookie rack and then we will frost them.
For the frosting, you can buy it if you like or just make it from scratch, again down below
you will find the amounts for these ingredients, so we will put our milk in here, now you can
use cream or half and half too if you want, vanilla extract, now I am going to add the
powdered sugar, and I am just going to add a little bit at a time, of this, until I get
the desired consistency, don't just drop it all in there, go ahead and scrape, it is getting
there, I am going to add just a little bit more powdered, sugar, not quite thick enough,
again you can make this whatever consistency that you want, you could have it be really
runny, and just have it fold over your cupcakes, or you can make them more stiff.
All right that is kind of what I want, also at this point, I want to add a little bit
of food coloring, I want to make these blue I think, I am going to go ahead and add some
gel food gel in there.
And then I want to just scrape the sides one last time.
All right perfect.
And now what I want to do is I want to transfer this over to a piping bag, or you could just
use a spoon or spatula to frost these cupcakes, so you just take your piping bag or a plastic
bag and you put it inside a jar so it keeps the mouth open, and then we will go ahead
and take our frosting, and we will put it in there, nice, and these cupcakes are so
good that you could actually leave off the frosting all together if you want, make them
a little more healthy.
And then you just take the bag, twist, and then it is ready to go.
And then we can just come in here, awesome so yeah there you go, just frost them or decorate
them however you like, there you go, this makes about 2 dozen cupcakes.
All right the vanilla cupcakes are done, they turned out amazing.
