This recipe was super easy to make, but the problem was the taste. My sister thought this was a sugar cookie and I thought it was cornbread. Did we read it wrong or forgot some sugar?

YES! Finally great cupcakes! Follow the recipe to a T and you'll have perfectly soft, moist and puffy cupcakes. These don't flatten when you take them out of the oven. I taste tested them with a bunch of neighbors and everybody gave them a thumbs up. I've been looking for this recipe for years!

We made this for a child's birthday and they came out perfect. We added an extra spoon of butter so it wasn't dry. They smell amazing, tasty, and moist.
Delicious!

The easiest and best vanilla cupcake recipe I've ever tried. And I've tried several! I have family and friends who ask me to bake for their special occasions and this recipe is my go-to recipe for vanilla cupcakes. You cannot go wrong. It is like a sugar cookie in cupcake form. Give it a try. Fast and easy and perfectly delicious.
