This is my favorite recipe for vanilla cupcakes. Classic vanilla cupcakes don't get the hype they deserve and that's because homemade ones are We wanted a cupcake that was better than any bakery or box, strong vanilla flavor, and perfectly soft. These cupcakes are perfect for birthday parties and baby showers and they always disappear fast which is why I always make a double batch for gatherings. Vanilla Cupcakes are so lovely with their swirls of Confectioners (Buttercream) Frosting. Gone are the days when they were only served at children's birthday parties dressed with a quick swipe of frosting.
