Ingredients

  • 180 g plain flour
  • 150 g caster sugar
  • 8 g baking powder
  • 2 g fine salt
  • 120 g unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs (about 100 g without shells), at room temperature
  • 90 g whole milk, at room temperature
  • 8 g vanilla extract
  • 12 patterned paper cupcake liners

Let’s make it

  1. Heat the oven to 180°C conventional (160°C fan). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with patterned paper liners.
  2. Whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Add the softened butter and beat until the mixture looks like fine, damp crumbs.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, and vanilla. Add to the flour mixture in two additions, mixing just until smooth; scrape the bowl once and avoid overmixing.
  4. Divide the batter evenly among the liners, filling each about two-thirds full. Bake for 16–19 minutes, until the tops are lightly golden and spring back when gently pressed; a skewer inserted in the center should come out clean.
  5. Cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer the cupcakes to a rack and cool completely, about 30 minutes. Serve plain, as pictured.
