INGREDIENTS
Fluffy Vanilla Cupcakes
¾ cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 ½ cup sugar
5 large eggs, at room temperature
2 ½ cup cake and pastry flour
2 tsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt
1 cup 2% milk, at room temperature
1 Tbsp vanilla extract
Fluffy Frosting
¾ cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
cup 4-6 cups of icing sugar, sifted
6 Tbsp 2% milk
1 ½ tsp vanilla extract
decorating sugar, for garnish (optional)
Fluffy Frosting Assembly
1. Preheat the oven to 350 F and line 2 muffin tins with large cupcake liners.
2. Beat the butter and sugar until well combined. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
3. In a separate bowl, sift the flour, baking powder and salt. Stir the milk and vanilla together. Add the flour and the milk alternately to the butter mixture, starting and ending with the flour and beating well after each addition. Spoon the batter (using an ice cream scoop is best) into the cupcake cups so they are two thirds full and bake for about 18 minutes, until a tester inserted in the centre comes out clean. Cool the cupcakes in the tins.
4. For the frosting, use a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment or electric beaters, beat the butter until it is fluffy. Add 2 cups of the icing sugar and first beat on low speed to incorporate, then increase the speed to high, until fluffy. Add the milk and vanilla and beat in. Add the remaining 2 cups of icing sugar and beat in, adding further up to 6 cups until a fluffy and spreadable consistency is achieved (the softness of your butter when you begin is the reason you may have to make this adjustment). Add a little colouring paste if you wish, or separate the white frosting into a few bowls and stir a different colour into each bowl.
5. Pipe or spread the frosting on each cupcake and sprinkle with decorating sugar if you wish. Allow the cupcakes to set for an hour before serving.
6. The cupcakes should be stored at room temperature and will keep in an airtight container for up to 2 days.

[@imhisapple1105]

Thank you so much for this recipe. I'm not a baker and I kept trying and I couldn't make cupcakes for nothing but I just made these for THANKSGIVING and they were great. I didn't get the frosting right, I guess I mixed it too much because it was running off of my cupcakes. I feel like I'll get it right if I keep trying.

[@infinitylambofmariah7987]

+Hasina Esajas if you don't have cake and pastry flour you should mAke your own, in a cup of flour take of two tbsp of flour then add 2 tbsp of cornstarch in it and that becomes a cake and pastry flour, Anna showed this technique in 1 episode

[@babysauria4474]

I'm a huge fan of yours since 12 years, you inspired me to take baking classes, Thank you Ana for all your recepies, I remember one in particupar that I want to watch again is a sugar cookies recipe if you can upload that episode of "sugar" I will love it, just one question about this one, everytime that I bake cupcakes the paper cup separed of the cupcake, the weather here is warm so, I don't know what I'm doing wrong, or what can I do to avoid this issue. Thanks for your feedback

[@ohyum]

What is happening is that there is humidity forming around the cups. This will happen if it sits for a day or so. Try to keep them in an airtight container once they cool to room temperature.

[@fadiaboumatar6375]

I love you and your cooking 🇳🇬🇵🇪👩🏽‍💻🥳🥳

Dear Anna Olson, I simply love your show and I am really interested in trying all the recipe but as it is just me and my husband, so can you please provide me with the recipe for two people (cup cakes).

I love ❤️ your style of making cupcakes, unfortunately I don’t use butter instead I use sunflower 🌻 oil. My cakes are so tasty.❤️

[@eleezaaa]

I do not make cupcakes like these! Your recipe is so much easier than my cakes 🧁

[@maxwellenterprises1348]

I love yr recipies 😍😍😍😍

[@ciearagrady]

Can we use regular flour or cake flour?

[@omolaraolabode]

Hi Anna I love your baking .Please here in the uk we have plain ,self raising ,strong flour and other flour and have just found cake flour which I love so much so which one is cake and pastry flour .

[@newjoyyork]

This is completely irrelevant to the video but you remind me of Bonnie Hunt, I was watching several videos and it finally hit me why you look so familiar. Back on the video, I love how easy and clear everything is, seems really simple to make after all! I'll definitely be trying this on the weekend.

[@adelinamitrofan8688]

Thank you so much for sharing! I love your channel! Just one question : does the butter have to have a certain fat consistency, like 65 or 80 percent? (I'm asking especially for the one used in the frosting) thanks! Greetings from Romania

[@cr9389]

Thank you for this amazing video! Where is your shirt from? I love it! ☺️

[@danielleramnath3242]

Hi I made your recipe it was perfect! I was wondering though I'm planning on making 4 dozen can the batter be made and left to set while I bake the others? I only have 12 cupcake tins.

[@zalehamohamed9620]

I think shouldn’t be a problem

[@TapiocaStar]

[@redfox129]

[@mycottoncandyvlogs1528]

Hi, if i want the cupcakes more dense than delicate, can i use all purpose flour?

[@yumnaather8366]

Please bring back full episodes

[@Shamrocksdogwood]

Tried the vanilla cupcake recipe exactly as written. Beautifully moist cake but tasted a bit eggy when eaten plain. For the buttercream frosting, it curdled as soon as I added the milk for some reason. Next will most like add all the icing sugar and then add the milk as needed.

[@ohyum]

For the frosting - it is not uncommon for it to curdle a bit. You are adding cold milk to room temperature butter. The milk will chill the butter and so it looks curdled, but it isn't. When you add the 2 cups of icing sugar make sure you blend it in very well. give it a few minutes on medium speed to really incorporate the sugar into the butter and fluff up the mixture. Then add the liquid again beating it in well and then the remainder of the icing sugar. If it does this again, just keep beating it (after all the icing sugar is added) until it is smooth and fluffy

[@willmanaguirre]

Espectacular

[@m.insari6079]

Can you please share some recipes for egg-free cakes and cupcakes?

[@marcelodsi]

Hello Anna, can cupcakes be frozen along with the topings? If so, for how long? Thx

[@irishtea5620]

Using all-purpose flour instead of pastry flour If your recipe calls for pastry flour but you don’t have any, don’t worry. You can make a substitute by whisking together 1 cup of all-purpose flour minus 2 tablespoons (or 14 tablespoons of all-purpose flour) with 2 tablespoons of cornstarch. This mixture will have a lower protein content than straight all-purpose flour, producing more tender baked goods that are very similar to what pastry flour itself would produce. Using cake flour instead of pastry flour If you don’t have any pastry flour but you happen to have cake flour, you can substitute for pastry flour by adding an extra 2 tablespoons of cake flour to your recipe.

[@LibiPappachen]

is cake and pastry flour same as self raising flour and all purpose flour?

[@lutfiyahnurazizah3979]

Libi Pappachen I don't know about pastry flour, but cake flour has cornstarch in it, self raising flour contains baking powder, and all purpose flour is just plain flour

[@guiedany]

no, cake is a bit lighter it has cornstarch and self rising has baking powder

[@jeromejanisjens6434]

can we add whipping cream for frosting instead of butter

[@nidahanif9841]

plz anna tell me can i use oil instead of butter?

[@akshataardekar3087]

Hello. I am but confused between cake and pastry flour and all purpose flour ! Please explain the difference between both of them

[@dianesterns4961]

Cake and pastry flour is simply a type of flour that is ground much finer so it creates a lighter cake. You can use all purpose in a pinch if you can’t get the cake flour.

[@Eunice-il3rz]

is it ok to add food coloring on the frosting? thank you.

[@emma-ht5yo]

Eunice yes you can 👍🏾

[@lisette3344]

Can anyone give us the ingredients in gramme

[@mummyavila]

Can I turn this recipe into a chocolate cupcake? If so, how much cocoa powdered should I add?

[@zeelpatel334]

what can be replaced by eggs for making an eggless cupcakes.. please do lemme noe i need to prepare those

[@rhonaram595]

If I don’t have pastry flour ,what kind of flour can I use

[@koxhlz]

I usually use all purpose flour

[@hasnanaila7952]

Can I substitute the butter for the buttercream with margarine?

[@purplepickle1114]

measuring g butter with a cup is difficult would you give the weight equivalent in grams please. thank you

[@kroooo2394]

1 cup of butter is 225g or 2 sticks. You can go from there. Divide or multiply it depending on what you need.

[@leticiafleitas1756]

Nazia Mahmood 170 grams aprox :)

[@bakingbunny198]

185g on google ! I see why using cups is not a good baking measurement.
