Baking Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
Mix the cupcake batter by combining flour, sugar, eggs, butter, baking powder, milk, and vanilla in a bowl. Stir until smooth.
Prepare aluminum foil by crumpling small pieces into tight balls, about the size of a marble.
Position one foil ball in each muffin well between the liner and the pan.
Bake the cupcakes in the preheated oven for about 18-20 minutes. Test for doneness with a toothpick.
Cool the cupcakes in the pan for a few minutes before moving to a wire rack. Remove the foil balls once cool.
Frost the cupcakes with your favorite frosting and enjoy!
