Delicious Autumn Cupcake Recipe for Fall

First, begin by **preheating your oven** to 350°F (180°C). This step is crucial as it ensures that your cupcakes bake evenly.

While the oven is heating up, you can prepare your cupcake tray by **placing cupcake liners** in each mold, ready to fill them with the batter.

In a large bowl, combine the **all-purpose flour**, **baking powder**, and **vanilla sugar**. Stir these ingredients together until they are evenly mixed.

This will help create a uniform cupcake texture throughout once baked.

In a separate bowl, beat together the **softened butter** and **sugar** until the mixture is light and fluffy. This should take about 3-5 minutes.

Add the **eggs** one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Then, mix in the **milk** until the mixture is smooth.

Now, gradually pour the dry ingredient mixture into the wet mixture. Stir gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing, as this can make the cupcakes dense.

Make sure there are no pockets of flour visible, and the mixture is uniform in color.

Using a spoon or ice cream scoop, fill the prepared cupcake liners about two-thirds full. This gives them room to rise without overflowing.

Once filled, give the tray a gentle tap to release any air bubbles that may have formed in the batter.

Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake for **20-25 minutes** or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Once baked, remove the tray from the oven and let it cool in the tray for 5 minutes prior to transferring them to a wire rack.

Allow the cupcakes to cool completely before icing or serving. This step is important if you plan to add frosting later.

Enjoy your delightful autumn-themed cupcakes with friends and family, or better yet, add your favorite toppings for extra flair!
