  • 1 1/2 cups flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup butter, room temperature

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a muffin pan with cupcake liners; set aside. 
  • In a medium bowl, combine the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
  • In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, until just combined then stir in the vanilla and oil.
  • Sprinkle 1/3 of the flour mixture over the butter mixture and gently stir in until barely combined. Add half of the milk, mixing until just combined.
  • Repeat these steps with the remaining flour mixture and milk, ending with the flour. Do not over mix.
  • Fill each cupcake tin with 2 tablespoons of batter, or until the cupcake tin is filled half way.
  • Bake the cupcakes for 14 to 16 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with one or two crumbs clinging to it. Allow the cupcakes to cool completely before frosting.
