You know those days when you just need something sweet, Not fancy and not fussy but just soft and fluffy vanilla cupcakes that make the whole kitchen smell like childhood birthdays and warm hugs Yeah, that’s the feeling.

Here’s a funny story because once I made Vanilla Cupcakes, I was trying to impress my niece who was five years old and brutally honest so she took one bite then looked me straight in the eye and said, “It’s okay but where’s the frosting” That stung because kids can be so direct.

So I tweaked the recipe then tested it again and maybe went a little overboard with the vanilla once because the whole place smelled like a candle shop exploded but finally, finally came cupcake bliss which was light and moist with just the right amount of sweetness.

Have you ever baked something that disappeared before it even cooled down, That’s exactly what happens here because no joke, I turned around and half the batch was already gone while my partner swore it wasn’t them but I’m not so sure.

Anyway, these are the kind of cupcakes that don’t need a special occasion yet they feel like one every single time.
