Best Ever Cupcakes Recipe | #Shorts | Sonalika Bhadouria | Easy Baking | Vanilla Cupcake Recipe

There are cupcakes… and then there are cupcakes that steal the show. Light, moist, buttery, and full of flavour, this recipe is one I keep going back to again and again. It’s simple enough for beginners but delivers bakery-quality results every single time. Whether you’re baking for a birthday, tea-time treat, or just a midweek pick-me-up, these best ever cupcakes will never let you down. Let’s get straight into it! Makes 6 cupcakes Ingredients: 76g unsalted butter, soft (⅓ cup) 80g caster sugar (⅓ cup + 1 tbsp) 1 egg yolk 1 whole egg 5g vanilla paste or 1 tsp vanilla extract 92g all-purpose flour (¾ cup) 2g baking powder (½ tsp) 48g milk (3 tbsp) Pinch of salt Method: Preheat your oven to 170°C and line a cupcake tray with paper liners. In a mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until pale, light, and fluffy. This step builds the base for soft cupcakes. Add the egg and extra yolk one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla paste. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and pinch of salt. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the butter mixture in parts, alternating with the milk and ending with flour. Mix just until smooth – don’t overbeat! Divide and pipe the batter evenly between cupcake liners (about 2/3rd full). Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean. Let them cool completely before frosting. You can top them with classic buttercream, whipped cream, or even leave them plain for the perfect tea-time cupcake. #bestevercupcakes #cupcakerecipes #baking #recipe #recipeshorts #recipes #homemade #cupcakes #cake #moistcupcakes #easyrecipe #bakinglove #vanilacakedecoration #chocolate #cupcake #vanillacupcakes #dessertrecipe #dessert #dessertrecipes #cupcakelove #bakingtips baking at home, quick bakes, fluffy cupcakes, sweet treats, cupcake inspiration, cupcake ideas, cupcake baking, baking with love, Sonalika Bhadouria, pastry chef, chef, easy baking
