Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
- Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, sift the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring gently until combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the batter light and fluffy.
- Pour and Bake: Fill the cupcake liners about 2/3 full with the batter. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the cupcakes to cool for 5 minutes in the tin, then transfer them to a wire rack. Enjoy as they are or frost with your favorite topping for added flair.
Tips for Perfect Cupcakes
- Don’t Overmix: Overmixing the batter can lead to dense cupcakes.
- Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure the egg and milk are at room temperature for a smoother batter.
- Flavor Twist: Add a tablespoon of cocoa powder for chocolate cupcakes or a pinch of cinnamon for a warm, spiced version.
