Vanilla homemade cupcakes are always a delicious treat to make and decorate. My Mardi Gras Vanilla Cupcakes are decorated with my Vanilla Buttercream Icing and purple, gold and green sprinkles. This vanilla cupcake recipe is easy to make, and they are moist and fluffy. If you choose to make large sized cupcakes with this recipe, it makes 12 – 1/2 cup cupcakes. If you are using smaller paper cups you can make 18 smaller cupcakes. Happy Cooking!

In a separate bowl sift all dry ingredients; flour, salt and baking powder. Set aside. Then, melt butter in the microwave for one minute. Let it cool for several minutes then add milk and stir until incorporated.
