Easter Vanilla Cupcakes are a delightful treat that will add a touch of sweetness to your Easter celebrations. These cupcakes are made with simple ingredients and are easy to prepare. The combination of vanilla and Easter-themed decorations make these cupcakes perfect for the holiday season.

Ingredients:

- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup whole milk

For the frosting:

- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2-3 tablespoons whole milk
- Easter-themed decorations (optional)
Serving: 12 cupcakes
To make the cupcakes, preheat your oven to 350°F. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients, alternating with the milk, until the batter is smooth.
Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners and fill each liner about 2/3 full with the batter. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean. Allow the cupcakes to cool completely before frosting.
To make the frosting, cream together the butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the vanilla extract and 2 tablespoons of milk, and mix until smooth. If the frosting is too thick, add in an additional tablespoon of milk. Frost the cupcakes using a piping bag or a knife, and decorate with Easter-themed decorations if desired.
These Easter Vanilla Cupcakes are a perfect combination of sweet and fluffy. The vanilla flavor is subtle but delicious, and the frosting adds an extra layer of sweetness. The cupcakes are light and airy, making them the perfect dessert to enjoy after a big Easter meal.
