Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). Line two 12-cup muffin tins with paper liners. (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a medium bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, and vanilla extract. (5 minutes)

03

Step

In a large mixing bowl, cream together sugar, butter, and shortening with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Gradually add the sifted dry ingredients to the creamed mixture, mixing until just combined. Slowly pour in the milk mixture, and beat on low speed until incorporated. Increase speed to high and beat for 2 minutes until smooth and well combined. Fill prepared muffin cups 1/2 full with batter. (15 minutes)

04

Step

Bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the tops spring back lightly when touched. (20 minutes)

05

Step

Cool in the muffin tins for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. (5 minutes)

For an extra moist cupcake, add a tablespoon of sour cream to the batter.
Do not overmix the batter, as this will result in tough cupcakes.
Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for best results.

    The batter was a little thick, but the cupcakes were still delicious. I might try adding a bit more milk next time.
