It’s difficult to find a really good vanilla cupcake. Too often, what I expect to be a moist and delicate single-serve cake turns out to be dry, unfulfilling, and overly sweet. Here comes my vanilla cupcake quest. I was determined to find the perfect frosting ratio for a flavorful, moist, decadent vanilla cupcake. It had to be simple and uncomplicated, but still worthy of an occasion.
After experimenting with several recipes I found online and watching several YouTube videos the one that worked the best for me was the one made by Preppy Kitchen.
Preppy Kitchen’s recipe gave me the perfect blend of moist yet decadent without the overly sweet taste.

Can any frosting cream be used to top the cupcakes?
Absolutely! You can even use a pre-made frosting cream if you wish to save time. For those who want to make their own frosting I will be providing a recipe for it below.
