Moist Vanilla Cupcakes

The best staple in a bakers recipe book is a perfect vanilla cupcake.

Why? With this recipe you can add many ingredients to enhance the flavor. Or, just leave it just the way they are – moist and sweet.

Example: add lemon juice, cup up pineapples, coconut, chocolate chips, cut up cherries, sprinkles, and food color gel to give it new color.
