            Sure! Here’s a simple recipe for classic vanilla cupcakes:

            Ingredients:

            • 1 1/2 cups (190g) all-purpose flour
            • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
            • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
            • 1/2 cup (120ml) milk
            • 2 large eggs
            • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
            • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
            • 1/4 teaspoon salt

            Instructions:

            1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners.

            2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

            3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.

            4. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.

            5. Combine Ingredients: Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.

            6. Fill Cupcake Liners: Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full.

            7. Bake: Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

            8. Cool: Allow cupcakes to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before frosting.

            Optional Frosting:

            • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
            • 2 cups (250g) powdered sugar
            • 2 tablespoons milk
            • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

            Instructions: Beat the butter until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract, beating until smooth and fluffy.
