Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Gather all ingredients. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line cups with paper liners.

Step 2

Beat sugar and butter together in a large bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.

Step 3

Beat in vanilla extract. Add flour mixture, alternating with milk; mix only until no streaks of flour remain. Spoon batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each 3/4 full.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven until the tops spring back when lightly pressed, 18 to 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely before serving or frosting.
