Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon pure rosewater
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the Oven and Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake tin with paper liners to ensure even baking and easy removal.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt to prevent clumps and promote an even rise.
- Cream Butter and Sugar: Using a mixer, cream the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, which is essential for tender cupcakes.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add the vanilla extract, mixing just until combined to keep the batter airy.
- Incorporate Dry Ingredients and Milk: Alternately add the dry ingredients and milk to the butter mixture, starting and ending with the dry, mixing gently to avoid overworking the batter.
- Stir in Rosewater: Gently fold in the pure rosewater, ensuring the batter is evenly infused with the floral essence without losing air.
- Bake: Scoop the batter into the prepared cupcake pan filling each about two-thirds full. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Cool: Let the cupcakes cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Measure flour properly by spooning into the cup and leveling off to prevent dense cupcakes.
- Use high-quality, food-grade pure rosewater for the best flavor.
- Avoid overmixing after adding flour to keep cupcakes tender.
- Check your oven temperature with a thermometer to ensure accurate baking.
- Allow cupcakes to cool fully before frosting to avoid melting or sliding icing.
