Here's a detailed recipe for simple and delicious cupcakes:

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/4 cup butter (softened)
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 egg
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• Pinch of salt

Instructions:

1. Prepare the oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.

2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

3. Cream the butter and sugar: In another bowl, beat the softened butter with the sugar until light and fluffy. Using an electric mixer is recommended for a creamy texture.

4. Add egg and vanilla: Add the egg and continue beating until well combined, then add the vanilla extract.

5. Alternate dry and wet ingredients: Gradually add the flour mixture and milk to the butter mixture, alternating between them. Start with the flour, then add milk, until everything is just combined. Avoid overmixing.

6. Pour batter into cupcake liners: Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full.

7. Bake the cupcakes: Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

8. Cool and decorate: Let the cupcakes cool completely before decorating with buttercream, chocolate, or a dusting of powdered sugar.

Decoration Tips:

• Use buttercream or melted chocolate to top your cupcakes, or add colorful sprinkles or mini chocolate chips.

Enjoy your delicious cupcakes!
