Well - these vanilla cupcakes are good. But to be honest - Publix is so far better. Publix cupcakes are airy and so fresh and yummy - and the frosting - no comparison! But, since I leave 3 hours from the closest Publix - these will have to do.
1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, softened
1 2/3 cup sugar
2 eggs
2 2/3 cup flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup buttermilk
1 T good vanilla extract
Cream butter and sugar till fluffy. Add eggs one at a time. Mix dry and add alternating with buttermilk and flour mixture. Add in vanilla at end. Fill cupcake liners 2/3 full and cook for about 25 minutes at 350. Take out when toothpick comes out clean. Let cool. I was going to make a buttercream frosting - but opted for a container of Betty Crocker Buttercream instead. It was just easier for tonight. Then I'll decorate them for the 4th! God Bless America!
Thank you for the cute little cupcakes!! They are de-licious!! Also, thanks for the recipe. I am definitely making these soon! :)
