Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups self-rising flour
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups sugar
- 4 large eggs, at room temperature
- 1 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- Magnolia Bakery Vanilla Buttercream
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line two 12-cup muffin tins with paper liners; set aside. In a small bowl, combine flours; set aside. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream butter until smooth and creamy. Gradually add sugar, beating until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add dry ingredients in 3 parts, alternating with the milk and vanilla, and scraping down sides of bowl in between each addition; beat until ingredients are incorporated but do not overbeat.
- Divide batter evenly among liners, filling about three-quarters full. Bake, rotating pan halfway through, until a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes.
- Transfer to a wire rack to cool in tins for 15 minutes. Remove cupcakes from tins, and cool completely on rack. Once cupcakes have cooled, use a small offset spatula to frost tops of each cupcake. Serve at room temperature.

My god, these are good cupcakes. I think there's a missing instruction about letting the butter and first cup of sugar cream a bit longer than usual. I do that for the cake and frosting with no problems. I find the cake/frosting combo works very well but can see why some consider it ultra sweet. That's probably what I like about them.
I made these for a church event and they turned out GREAT! Everyone said they were the best cupcakes they'd ever had, what a compliment!

I have made these twice and they never come out like the bakery's.
The frosting also does not, theres so much of it!
Best cupcakes I have ever made. They are dense and delicious!
Wonderful vanilla cupcakes, highly recommended.
it's too sweet and too moist for me, but after i reduced sugar and milk it turned out great! my family and friends love it.
