Cinnamon Vanilla cupcakes

Sorry i have been out of commission lately y’all. Dave hasnt been feeling too well as well as I. Plus our dumb house is slowly falling apart on us. That along with a plucky 19 month old makes Tamale very tired.

I haven’t baked anything new lately, just chocolate chip cookies to make homemade ice cream sandwiches and cupcakes.

But i figured one can never have enough vanilla cupcakes. Its the most popular cupcake flavor in the world.

So I have a great recipe to share with you:

Ingredients:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
• 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup shortening, softened
• 3/4 cup whole milk or 2%
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tsp cinnamon, optional

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Mix flour and baking powder together in a medium bowl. Set aside.

Mix shortening and sugar together well. Add milk and vanilla. Add eggs in one at a time. Add the flour mixture in gradually, scraping sides of bowl.

Fill 3/4 in lined muffin pan. Bake at 20-22 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. This recipe makes around 16.

Frost with favorite frosting or enjoy them alone!

I am including a stock pic not an actual one because well, they went fast.
