Fluffy Sponge Cupcakes Recipe

Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (sifted)
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 3 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup whole milk (warm)
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tray with cupcake liners.
  2. Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the eggs and sugar using a hand mixer or stand mixer on high speed for about 5–6 minutes until thick, pale, and fluffy.
  4. Add vanilla extract and mix briefly.
  5. Gently fold in the dry ingredients using a spatula in two batches. Do not overmix.
  6. Combine warm milk and oil in a separate bowl. Slowly add the milk-oil mixture into the batter while folding gently to keep the air in the mixture.
  7. Spoon the batter into the cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full.
  8. Bake for 15–18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the cupcakes cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
