## Ingredients

- 1 cup All Purpose Flour
- 1 tsp Baking powder
- 0.25 tsp Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted Butter
- 0.5 cup Sugar
- 125 g Large Eggs
- 1.5 tsp Vanilla Essence
- 2 tbsp Milk

## Instructions

1. Measure the butter, sugar, eggs, flour and baking powder in grams using a weighing scale to get perfect results. If you don't own a weighing scale, fluff & scoop out the flour in the cup using a spoon instead of directly taking the flour with the cup.
2. Beat the butter on medium speed till smooth for a few seconds. Pulse the whole sugar in the blender. Beat the sugar with the butter on medium speed for 1-2 mins till color changes to white.
3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing each egg till fully incorporated around 15-20secs. Add the Vanilla Essence. Beat on medium speed till nice and fluffy.
4. Place a Sieve on top, add the All purpose flour, Baking powder & Salt. Sift the dry ingredients in three batches and mix on low speed till just incorporated. Do not over mix.
5. Add the milk, fold it in the batter gently. Do not over mix. Overmixing results in dense cupcakes.
6. Use an IceCream Scoop or a small ladle to pour into the liners. Do not fill more than 2/3.
7. Bake @180C in a preheated oven for 22-25 mins or till a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
8. Allow to cool completely.
