I love it because it's light and fluffy like cotton. 😋

Steps

10 minutes

1

If you want to add extras like 1/2 cup chocolate chips, raisins, or nuts, toss them with the flour first before mixing into the batter. You can also leave them out and make plain cupcakes (I made them plain).
2

First, preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and prepare cupcake liners or a cupcake pan (I used foil liners lined with parchment paper).
3

In a large bowl, add the egg, vanilla extract, milk, yogurt, and oil or butter. Whisk well by hand (the key to great cupcakes is hand mixing).
4

Sift together the dry ingredients: sugar, baking powder, salt, and flour to prevent lumps when mixing by hand.
5

Mix until just combined—do not overmix.
6

Pour the batter into the cupcake molds, filling each about two-thirds full.
7

Bake for 20 to 25 minutes. Check doneness with a toothpick; when done, remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
8

I turned on the top heat for a few minutes to give them a more golden color. Enjoy!
