All-Purpose Flour 1 and 1/2 cups
Baking Powder 1 and 1/2 teaspoons
Salt 1/4 teaspoon
Unsalted Butter 1/2 cup
Granulated Sugar 3/4 cup
Eggs 2 large
Vanilla Extract 1 teaspoon
Milk 1/2 cup
Frosting Enough for frosting the cupcakes

Take note
Be careful not to overmix the batter, as it can result in dense cupcakes. Make sure the cupcakes are completely cool before decorating to prevent the frosting from melting.

1

Prepare the Cupcake Batter

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 1 and 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 and 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. In a separate bowl, cream together 1/2 cup of softened unsalted butter and 3/4 cup of granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in 2 large eggs, one at a time, followed by 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with 1/2 cup of milk. Mix until just combined.

2

Bake the Cupcakes

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners. Fill each liner about two-thirds full with the cupcake batter. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let the cupcakes cool completely on a wire rack.

3

Decorate the Cupcakes

Divide your favorite frosting into three bowls. Add a few drops of food coloring to each bowl to create pastel colors. Use a piping bag or a butter knife to frost the cooled cupcakes with the colored frosting. To create the Easter egg design, use a toothpick to draw lines or shapes on the frosting, imitating the look of decorated eggs. You can also add sprinkles or edible decorations for extra flair!
