Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons rosewater

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake pan with paper liners or lightly grease the cups to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined to ensure uniform rising and flavor in each cupcake.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a larger bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar until the mixture is fluffy and pale, creating a light base for the batter.
  4. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract and rosewater for deep, fragrant flavor that defines these cupcakes.
  5. Alternate Adding Dry Ingredients and Milk: Gradually add the dry ingredients and the milk to the butter mixture, alternating between the two. Start and end with dry ingredients, mixing until just combined for moist, tender cupcakes.
  6. Fill and Bake: Pour the batter into the cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full to allow room for good rise. Bake for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  7. Cool and Frost: Let cupcakes cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Once fully cooled, frost with your favorite topping to complement the rosewater flavor.

Notes

  • Measure Flour Correctly: Scoop flour lightly and level it off to avoid dense cupcakes.
  • Do Not Overmix: Stir ingredients until just combined to keep your cupcakes soft and fluffy.
  • Fresh Rosewater: Use high-quality rosewater for the best fragrance and taste.
  • Room Temperature Ingredients: Bring eggs and butter to room temperature for smooth mixing and even baking.
  • Check Oven Temperature: Use an oven thermometer to ensure accurate baking temperature for perfect rise.
