These cupcakes use use 2 vanilla beans (between the cupcakes and frosting) plus 1 1/2 tsp vanilla so they have a not-to-be-questioned real vanilla flavor that will have everyone swooning! This is how you do cupcakes.

The Buttercream Frosting is to Die for!

That buttercream frosting though! It’s perfectly sweet and fluffy with just the right amount of butter and cream. Anyone have a spoon?? The cupcakes are perfectly soft and moist (boo to dry cupcakes) and they have just the right amount of fluff. Y ou’ll love every last dreamy little (or big) bite! I used both cake flour and all-purpose flour because I love the texture the two together give cakes and cupcakes. Plus, the addition of cake flour allows for more fats and liquids to be added without the cupcake sinking in the middle.
