Using the batter from my much loved Vanilla Cake, these Vanilla Cupcakes have a professional bakery-style crumb and stay perfectly moist for 4 whole days which is unheard of for cupcakes!
No secret ingredients. Just a secret Japanese baking technique applied to classic butter cupcakes ingredients. It’s like…. magic! ✨

Is this the Vanilla Cupcakes recipe for you?
If you are after a basic vanilla cupcake recipe and don’t mind a crumb that’s a bit rough with irregular size holes and starts to lose freshness after a day, this recipe is not for you. There’s plenty of standard vanilla cupcake recipes “out there” that yield such cupcakes which are as simple as “cream butter and sugar, beat in eggs, then flour”.
But if you want a vanilla cupcake that with a plush, tender crumb like you get at high-end patisseries that will stay perfectly fresh for 4 days, this is the recipe for you. Same ingredients. Just slightly different technique. I hope you fall in love with it as I have! ~ Nagi x
