Classic Vanilla Cupcakes from Scratch Recipe December 15, 2021January 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.
TGIF Cupcakes Recipe December 15, 2021September 8, 2017 Vanilla cupcakes studded with chocolate chips and topped with peanut butter frosting, chocolate shavings, toffee, and butterscotch caramel. A cupcake worthy of the name TGIF! This recipe was inspired by a book I read last week. I don’t know if it’s like this for anyone else, but there always seems to be a food theme in every book I read…. or at least there is in my mind. And maybe “theme” is a bit too strong of a word. But do you know what I mean? You’re reading a book, and maybe it’s set in Antebellum South, and the main character eats a lot of cornbread smothered in honey and butter. All of a sudden, all I can think about is cornbread and honey. Or the main characters frequently hang out at the local pizza joint. Now all I want to eat is pizza. You get the picture. In last week’s book (which was #3 in the Porter Family Novel series by Becky Wade), a side character (who was the main character in #2) works in a bakery, and this is cupcake is her Friday specialty. The moment I read the description, I knew I wanted to recreate it for you guys. And so…. ta-da! This has been one of my favorite recipes that I’ve made in a while, and I’m thinking that it needs to be recreated into a layer cake, a poke cake… possible fudge? Definitely into a cookie. So expect more TGIF treats to grace the blog before too long. And I think these flavors are perfectly timed for Fall. They’re rich with deep notes of toffee and butterscotch and just perfect for winter comfort sweatpants food. I hope you enjoy these as much as I did!
