Magical STAY-MOIST Vanilla Cupcakes

Using the batter from my much loved Vanilla Cake, these are the Vanilla Cupcakes you make when you want professional bakery-style cupcakes that stay perfectly moist for 4 whole days which is unheard of for cupcakes!

No secret ingredients. Just a secret Japanese baking technique applied to classic butter cupcakes ingredients. It's like…. magic! ✨

this recipe is LEGIT. i forgot to beat the eggs for 6 mins and only did it for a minute or two but it still came out fluffy and moist! highly recommend this. i reduced the sugar by 30g

I would say this is one of the consistent and nice vanilla cupcakes I baked after trying other recipes. Worth the extra steps on making these cupcakes. Sturdy yet moist.

Okay, I wasn't planning on leaving a review but for this recipe--I just had to! Out of the numerous 'Vanilla Cupcake' recipes I've tried in the past, THIS one is THE only recipe I'll be using. I followed precisely how the instructions asked me to, and I was honestly doubtful at first because there was no way this cupcake would stay soft and moist DAYS after. But oh my god--was I wrong. I made these last week, on August 8, and I am writing this on August 15 to tell you that these cupcakes are STILL soft and fluffy. I know it's not good to keep cupcakes for that long in the fridge, but I had to test it out. So I kept one left to try today and it's obviously not as light and moist as the very first day, but it's not rock-hard and dense like all of the other homemade cupcakes I've tried in the past! Nagi wasn't lying when this recipe said these cupcakes will stay moist after a few days lol. Thank you for sharing this recipe with us, you are a godsend <3

I just baked these. No lies, this is THE recipe for light, fluffy, moist and crumbly cupcakes!!! I’m so happy. And the frosting as well. Perfect combo❤️❤️ thank you for this recipe!

[tracyramsamy]

I whipped up a batch today and yumz. I have only 4 left and a request to make more for the weekend.. Thank you. Following that technique Def made a difference.

[lgarcia]

I just tried this and when they say follow every direction, do so. This is a fantastic recipe and will keep it in my core recipes. I actually failed the first time but did it again. If making multiple batches, considering covering the uncooked batter with cling wrap for air not to escape while waiting for its turn. Awesome recipe!

[salsabilaandri]

I don’t usually leave comments but I just baked two batches of these cupcakes and this is genuinely my new favourite vanilla cupcake recipe

Sometimes when recipes say that they’re moist, the cake comes out dense.. or moist but in an undesirable way. But the cakes from this recipe were moist, fluffy, airy, and every other good thing. And! They’re not too sweet

Have justt baked them (and ate a couple) so have yet to test how they taste after a few days. But if they’re as true as the comments about the texture, then I have complete trust that they’ll turn out well then too

Love the recipe, thank you loads x

Best cupcake ever!!! And it’s so easy that even my 9 years old daughter baked today and it was good!! Thank you for the recipe!

[reyyanbal]

Thanks! I've finally found the vanilla cupcake recipe I've been looking for. I had extra batter left over (my cupcake holders were small), which I added freeze-dried fruit to and baked in a loaf pan. That also turned out great.

[kristinerafer]

I have tried this recipe today and it is in itself yummy, no frosting needed. It is soft, moist and not too sweet. Excellent base for cake. Thanks for sharing the recipe, been looking for such as this. Cheers!

[rissaingle]

I made these today and they were so delicious...very flavorful, soft, and airy. Would make again. Thank you!

[elsatesfam]

[seffiaranii]

[deemz]

Found the recipe on line. Can't wait to make these

[tazbegum]

Just baked these yesterday and they really were soo soft and light and fluffy. Not as boring or flat as usual cupcakes may turn out. Many thanks!
I'm now wondering if I could bake an actual sponge cake using this same recipe?
