Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup milk
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a mini muffin tin or line with mini cupcake liners.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared mini muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cake comes out clean.
- Let the cakes cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the dry ingredients.
- These cakes are wonderful on their own, or you can frost them with your favorite frosting.
- Ensure your butter and eggs are at room temperature for the best texture.
