Ingredients

The following ingredients have 24 Servings
  • 1 1/2 cups self-rising flour
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter (softened)
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs (at room temperature)
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Line 2 (1/2 cup-12 capacity) muffin tins with cupcake papers.
  • In a small bowl, combine the flours. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, on the medium speed of an electric mixer, cream the butter until smooth. Add the sugar gradually and beat until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the dry ingredients in 3 parts, alternating with the milk and vanilla. With each addition, beat until the ingredients are incorporated but do not over beat. Using a rubber spatula, scrape down the batter in the bowl to make sure the ingredients are well blended. 
  • Carefully spoon the batter into the cupcake liners, filling them about 3/4 full. (I would suggest about 1/2 full) Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a cake tester inserted into the center of the cupcake comes out clean.
  • Cool the cupcakes in tins for 15 minutes. Remove from the tins and cool completely on a wire rack before icing.
