Easy Cupcake With Icing

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a cupcake pan with paper liners.

2. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

3. In a separate large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

4. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then stir in the vanilla extract.

5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

6. Fill each cupcake liner about two-thirds full with the batter.

7. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.

8. While the cupcakes are cooling, prepare the icing. In a mixing bowl, beat the powdered sugar and softened butter together until smooth.

9. Gradually stir in the milk and vanilla extract until the icing reaches a spreadable consistency. If desired, add a few drops of food coloring to achieve your desired color.

10. Once the cupcakes are completely cooled, generously frost them with the icing using a spatula or piping bag.
