Recipe Time! Vanilla Cupcakes (adapted from Joy The Baker) and Vanilla Buttercream Frosting (thanks mom!)

For The Cupcakes:

• 2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, softened
• 1 3/4 cup granulated sugar 
• 4 large eggs 
• 1 cup skim milk 
• 1 1/2 tablespoon pure vanilla extract 
• 2 3/4 cup all-purpose flour 
• 1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder 
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

Quickie Instructions:

• Preheat to 350 degrees, baking time 25 minutes, yields 24 delicious munchies.
• Mix flour, baking powder, salt in a bowl
• Mix vanilla and milk in another bowl
• Cream butter and sugar together, gradually add eggs - switch off adding a little milk mixture and a little flour mixture.

If you want to tint yours a color like I did, I think I put roughly 1/2-1 tbsp of food coloring in there. I was afraid that it would change the consistency (the batter was very liquid-y) but it didn’t, and they still taste good. (: 

For the Frosting:

• 1 16oz box confectioners sugar (4 cups)
• 1 stick softened butter
• 2-3 tbsp milk 
• 1/2 tsp vanilla 

As always, I’ll tell you that if you’re not careful with the milk, your frosting will be runny. ): And hand mixers/stand mixers are your best friends in making this.

Enjoy!! And Happy Belated St. Patricks Day.
