Vanilla Cupcakes

Cookinero 29 Apr 2025

A cupcake is translated from English as “a cake in a cup.” This dessert is made from sponge cake dough and is almost always generously decorated with cream curls. The vanilla cupcake recipe uses butter-protein cream. We recommend decorating a light dessert with cream with nuts, candied fruits, raisins, and icing. Cupcakes with filling are baked in special molds — reusable metal ones with a non-stick coating or silicone and disposable paper ones.

How to cook Vanilla Cupcakes

Vanilla Cupcakes - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, you can substitute butter with margarine for a similar texture. However, butter adds richer flavor, so the taste may vary slightly.
Store cooled cupcakes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate for up to 5 days. Cream-frosted cupcakes are best kept chilled.
Yes, replace the regular flour with a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend. Ensure your baking powder is also gluten-free for best results.
Use plant-based butter and milk alternatives (like almond or oat milk). For the cream, substitute butter with dairy-free margarine.
Avoid overbaking—check for doneness at 18 minutes. Also, ensure you measure flour correctly (spoon and level) to maintain moisture.
Yes, unfrosted cupcakes freeze well for up to 2 months. Thaw at room temperature and frost before serving. Freezing cream-frosted cupcakes is not recommended.
Swap vanilla sugar with 1 tsp vanilla extract + regular sugar. Adjust sugar quantity if your extract is sweetened.
For mini cupcakes, bake 10-12 minutes; for jumbo, extend to 25-28 minutes. Always check with a toothpick for doneness.
Yes, refrigerate batter (covered) for up to 24 hours. Let it come to room temperature and stir gently before baking.
Use a large star tip (e.g., 1M) for classic swirls, or a round tip for simple dollops. Chill cream briefly for firmer piping.
