How to Make the BEST Vanilla Cupcakes

How to Make the BEST Vanilla Cupcakes
Full Recipe: preppykitchen.com/moist-vanil...
These vanilla cupcakes will blow your mind! I know this is a strong statement but they are so moist and bursting with vanilla flavor, you just won’t believe it!
They’re nothing like those dry ultra fluffy bakery cupcakes they make you sad and full of regret, these are worth it! A bit of advice on the ingredients. You can get the cheapest flour, sour cream, milk and even butter but you have to get good vanilla for this recipe! It’s the main flavor and you want it to shine so go find a good real vanilla extract and it you want to get points for being fancy use some vanilla bean paste too while you’re at it. People love seeing the little specks of vanilla in the cupcakes.
I got a ton of questions on the cupcake papers I used at the end so here's a link for them: amzn.to/2JSdd90

I was finally able to try this recipe after watching for many months and this was hands down the best vanilla cupcake I’ve tried. It was fluffy, light, moist, and had great flavor. Many other recipes I’ve tried have missed the mark in some way and this one has finally reached my expectations. I will be using this recipe this weekend for cupcakes I’m making this weekend. Thank you so much!!!!

OK now I've had a go to recipe for the last 10 years but I keep trying new recipes every now and then to see if I can find anything better! After your chocolate cupcakes have become my go to I decided to try your vanilla last night. I decorated them with a whipped cream cheese frosting and omg these were the best cupcakes everrrrrrr! This will be my new go to for sure!

[@melaniebaldwin6691]

Oh my goodness! These are FANTASTIC! I've been looking for a vanilla cupcake recipe and I've found a winner. I ran out of vanilla extract (wasn't very prepped in that regard) making the cupcakes so I used coconut extract in the frosting. Delectable! Thank you so much! I love your videos and recipes. I'm a huge fan.

[@Faithfulgabbz]

I’m super happy to have found your channel and this recipe. I’ve used this recipe twice and EACH TIME, it comes out so amazing. My friends love the cupcake part especially without the icing. Thank you for this..😊

[@lailatalat2225]

Made vanilla cupcakes 3 times using this recipe and every time my cupcakes turned out perfect. Super moist , fluffy and delicious. I even made a 9 inch cake using this recipe and it was perfection. The best ever 💯

[@erinlight5020]

What kind of cream did you use for the icing?

[@lailatalat2225]

@@erinlight5020 I always use ermine frosting also known as cooked flour / boiled milk frosting because thats not too sweet like other types of frosting.

[@erinlight5020]

I was thinking when he said heavy cream that it was whipping cream. I didn't know there was a difference but googled and there are 2 products. Hopefully I am jit the only one confused about this.

[@lailatalat2225]

@@erinlight5020 Heavy cream has a higher fat content and whips very well . My heavy cream has a 36% fat content and it whips beautifully. You can use it in every recipe which calls for whipping cream , double cream or heavy cream.

[@lannguyeninusa753]

I have just tried the cupcake recipe yesterday and love it! Tasty and moist! My daughter (6 years old). With the frosting, I used 1 pound of butter and 1 + 1/3 cup sugar (around 300g) and it comes out nicely. Even so my daughter already complained the buttercream icing is so sweet! So for those who doesn’t like so sweet icing, you can just cut back the sugar like I did.

[@ilikefood1250]

these are the best cupcakes i’ve ever tasted in my life, seriously tip: half the buttercream recipe to 2 sticks of butter (225g) instead of 4 sticks

These stayed moist for like a WEEK!! I will be using this and this recipe only for future cupcakes!

I just made these and wow, they are amazing! Perfect level of sweetness and my husband and kids all loved it! Thank you for your wonderful videos -- I have also made your chocolate cupcakes and they were also a hit! The Italian buttercream frosting was so delicious. I have subscribed and look forward to trying more recipes.

[@manuelamccarthy959]

How many cupcakes come out of this recipe?

[@PSagarful]

This is a simple recipe which turned out nicely. I was able to make a dozen cupcakes and a skinny 6-in cake. I used whole eggs. Had some very rich and buttery frosting left over from John's caramel cake recipe, and combined that with some of the leftover caramel and cream cheese to end up with a sublime frosting. Thank you.

Hi John. This is Leena from India. Amongst many other things I made vanilla cupcakes for a chefs cooking competition in my school yday. And guess what ! Everyone loved it. Said the sweetness and texture is just right. Melt in your mouth. However since the weather in India is pretty warm I used whipped cream as the frosting instead of a butter frosting
