Today we went for a visit to our friend's the Lewis's house. She was preparing for her daughters 1st Birthday Party anddddd they were making cupcakes. So we threw together some ingredients and called it a cupcake week. Perfect! We made this vanilla cupcake recipe. We also made vanilla icing to go along with it. Yepee, cupcakes are complete. I haven't tried this recipe at home yet, but will. My family is not so into vanilla, but maybe i can spice them up.

VANILLA CUPCAKES

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x9 inch pan or line a muffin pan with paper liners.
2. In a medium bowl, cream together the sugar and butter. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. Combine flour and baking powder, add to the creamed mixture and mix well. Finally stir in the milk until batter is smooth. Pour or spoon batter into the prepared pan.
3. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes in the preheated oven. For cupcakes, bake 20 to 25 minutes. Cake is done when it springs back to the touch.
