Vanilla Cupcakes


Whenever I get a little overwhelmed with school work and need to de stress, I love to bake! It's so gratifying to work on new recipes and share them with other people -- especially when they turn out delicious! Saturday night I decided to make an easy recipe since I didn't have time to go out and buy specific ingredients so I made vanilla cupcakes. I looked around for a recipe that was fairly simple and found this one. They turned out yummy and my family and friends approved! The cupcake itself wasn't dry and it had a fine crumb just like the recipe advertised. The buttercream was great especially since I didn't have 4 cups of icing sugar in the house to make a traditional buttercream.  I was a little skeptical at first since the recipe said to whisk egg whites and sugar over a pot of simmering water but it made the frosting have a meringue taste but with a creamy butter texture mmm mmm good! I was feeling a bit lazy so I decided to opt out of the fancy icing techniques and just used a knife to frost them and put some leftover snowflake sprinkles on top. Not the most seasonal sprinkles but they looked cute ;) Hope you try out this recipe!
