Classic Vanilla Cupcakes from Scratch Recipe September 9, 2024January 21, 2019 These Classic Vanilla Cupcakes are my favorite! And you’ll be surprised how easy they are to make from scratch. If you’re looking for a super soft, moist, and flavorful vanilla cupcake, then this recipe is for you. I feel like once you have a really solid vanilla cupcake recipe to work with, it opens up so many other possibilities in the realm of cupcakes. Add sprinkles, chocolate chips, or nuts to the batter to change things up. And, of course, the sky is the limit when it comes to frosting! I love these cupcakes with my pipeable cream cheese frosting or vanilla bean buttercream. But feel free to be more adventurous with your pairings than I am! Find all of my cupcake recipes right here.
