How to Make Cupcake Princess Vanilla Cupcakes

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper baking cups.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Set aside.
  3. In a small saucepan, heat 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter and 1/2 cup milk over low heat until the butter is melted and the mixture is warm. Remove from heat.
  4. In a large bowl, cream together 2 large eggs, 1 large egg yolk, 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract using an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy.
  5. Reduce mixer speed to low. Gradually add the dry ingredients (flour mixture) to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. Slowly add the warm milk mixture to the batter, mixing until everything is well incorporated. Do not overmix.
  7. Evenly divide the batter among the prepared cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full.
  8. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the cupcakes cool in the muffin tin for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
