Vanilla-buttercream frosted cupcakes
I love being adventurous with cupcakes. I create different types of gift bouquets using cupcakes frosted with buttercream. This one is a Christmas Cupcake Bouquet that I also used fondant toppers that I gifted to one of my son's teachers. This recipe I learnt when I attended Lucia Wanjiku Mugo's baking class and I have used it since with afew adjustments.

Amazing moist vanilla cupcakes with buttercream frosting! Amazing moist vanilla cupcakes with buttercream frosting!
This recipe is fairly similar to my chocolate cupcake recipe except that I made some modifications. The buttercream is easy but still hard. You need to follow the directions for everything or it won’t work. I’ve tried this recipe twice and once it didn’t work because it was too clumpy. You need to make sure you follow the recipe.What I loved about the buttercream is that there was none left over! It was perfect!!

Classic American Vanilla Cupcakes Classic American Vanilla Cupcakes
Since I've started living in the U.S., I've had a lot of opportunities to make cupcakes. Out of all the cupcakes I've made, this has become my go-to recipe.Since there's a lot of milk, the batter is quite soft. You can store leftover buttercream in the fridge. It will harden, but if you leave it out at room temperature before use, you can use it a second time. But anyway, be sure to beat veryyyyy well until the batter becomes light and creamy. For 6 cupcakes. Recipe by Cookie shiasu.
