PERFECTLY MOIST AND FLUFFY VANILLA CUPCAKES

These Vanilla Cupcakes are light, fluffy and incredibly moist! Topped with a creamy and Dreamy Vanilla Buttercream, these are the best cupcakes for a birthday party or any event!

Happy National Vanilla Cupcake Day! How gorgeous are these cupcakes? I swear I’m obsessed, I wish they could last forever, but unfortunately I’m surrounded by vanilla lovers so these barely lasted a week.
