Vanilla cupcakes are made with flour, yeast, eggs, butter, milk, and sugar. The recipe calls for mixing the dry ingredients together and then adding wet ingredients like eggs and butter to form a spongy dough. The dough is spooned into moulds and baked for 20 minutes. Meanwhile, a frosting is prepared by mixing butter, milk and sugar until light and fluffy. The frosting can be tinted with color. Once cooled, the cupcakes are frosted and decorated.
