FAQS

  1. Can I use butter instead of vegetable oil in this vanilla cupcake recipe?

    Yes, you can substitute butter for vegetable oil, but it may change the texture slightly. Make sure to melt the butter before mixing it with the other ingredients.

  2. What can I use as a substitute for eggs in this recipe?

    You can use applesauce, mashed bananas, or a commercial egg replacer. Generally, 1/4 cup of applesauce or mashed banana can replace one egg.

  3. How can I tell when the cupcakes are done baking?

    Insert a skewer or toothpick into the center of a cupcake. If it comes out clean or with a few crumbs, the cupcakes are done. If it comes out wet with batter, they need more time.

  4. Can I add frosting or toppings to these vanilla cupcakes?

    Absolutely! Once the cupcakes have cooled, you can frost them with your favorite icing, or add sprinkles, fruit, or chocolate chips for extra flavor.

  5. How should I store leftover cupcakes?

    Store leftover cupcakes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week. You can also freeze them for longer storage.
