This is a simple,easy and basic vanilla cupcake recipe, I wanted to share this for very long time. Finally today I made this cup cake for my kids. Although there are many variations of cupcake, most cupcake mixtures are based on basic ingredients like butter, sugar, egg and flour. My kids loved it a lot, It was very spongy and the house was filled with the cake flavor. I made 2 dozens of cupcakes and just couldn't resist eating it, we all finished in a day. So yummy buttery cakes.

2. This is a basic cup cake recipe, you can decorate with your own frosting and make it more richer you can add nuts and chocolates to it. Will post other versions soon.
3. For the Creamed mixture, Where the butter and sugar are beaten together, the butter should be in the room temperature until soft.
4. The most common sugar used for baking is caster sugar but you can use other sugars and sweeteners but the flavour will be different.
5. Eggs enrich the cakes taste and binds the ingredients together, best used under room temperature and i have used medium size eggs.
6. Quantities are very important when baking, using wrong proportions can lead to dis appointing results.
