Category: Cakes
Makes 12 cupcakes
Vanilla-flavored white cupcakes without frosting are almost certain to be available in whatever bakery you might pop into all over Mexico. These sweet little cakes are a quick treat to nibble anytime, on the street, in the car, or to take on a picnic. If you prefer, top them with frosting.
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup unsalted butter (1/2 stick), at room temperature, or vegetable shortening
1 cup sugar
1 large egg
3/4 cup milk
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1. Preheat the oven to 375°. Grease a cupcake pan, or line with paper cups. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Reserve.
2. Put the butter and sugar in a food processor and process until creamy, 10 to 15 seconds. Add the egg and process until fluffy, about 15 seconds. Add the milk and vanilla. Process until smooth, 8 to 10 seconds. Add the dry ingredients and pulse 4 to 6 times until just combined.
3. Fill 12 muffin cups about 2/3 full. Bake until raised and golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted in the center of the highest cupcake comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool Store, covered, in a dry cupboard up to 3 days.
