There is just something so classic about a vanilla cupcake. It is so versatile that you can mix so many different fillings and toppings to change the taste.

Vanilla cupcakes have a more of a mild flavor unlike chocolate cupcakes, it pairs well with lots of different flavors. Yet if you don’t have that great vanilla cupcake recipe it can ruin all of your hard work on any other items you made to put on them. Now the classic cake that I had learned in school it’s not what most Americans grew up eating. They have got used to a box mix that has a very moist texture. The problem with this is the cake is very soft. I want to make cupcakes that still have the great chiffon cake texture but the moisture similar to what most Americans were eating. I feel this recipe really combines the best of both cakes and you will want to continue to use this recipe for all your future cupcakes.
