Delicious Moist Vanilla Cupcakes!

Hello to all my steemian friends! I hope you had a nice relaxing weekend and a great start for this week:)

Recently I've been on a quest to find a recipe that would give the ultimate moisty cupcake/cake with that delicious gentle flavor and aroma of vanilla.
As much as I love chocolate cakes/cupcakes, it's also a must to have a good recipe for a vanilla cake/cupcake (especially when your daughter asks for a vanilla cake for her birthday! :) ) From there the options of fillings and decorations are endless.

So, I've been trying out a few versions and had endless batches of cupcakes at home lately from different recipes! After combining a few from here and there I'd like to share my ultimate fluffy vanilla cupcake recipe!

Moist Vanilla Cupcakes - Recipe:

Ingredients:

1 ¾ cups plain flour
¾ cup sugar
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
60 grams unsalted butter, room temp.
2 eggs, room temp.
1/3 cup (75 grams) sour-cream
¼ cup oil
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2/3 cup milk

Method:

Preheat oven to 170° Celsius. Line muffin cups with paper.
In a mixing bowl combine all dry ingredients together. Add butter and mix with an electric mixer for 3 minutes on medium speed.
In a small, separate bowl mix together eggs, sour-cream, oil and vanilla extract.
Gradually beat the egg mixture into the flour mixture. Slowly pour in the milk, beating until just combined.
Spoon batter evenly among pans and bake at 170 ° Celsius for 20 minutes or until toothpick inserted into centre comes out clean.
Cool cupcakes in tin for 10 minutes. Then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.

This recipe makes cupcakes with so much moisture in them- I love it! I’m a big fan of how simple it is to make them, their fluffiness and flavor.
For my daughters birthday I topped them with my favorite vanilla buttercream in the shape of roses/ stars with a sprinkle of candy topping, and they were a big hit!
I hope you love them as much as we do!
