Time 45m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup sugar, plus
2 tablespoons sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup buttermilk

Steps:

  • Beat butter and all the sugar on medium speed until well blended. Add eggs and vanilla and beat on high speed until well blended.
  • Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • With mixer on low speed, add one third of the flour mixture, followed by a third of the buttermilk - repeat, alternating in thirds. When all the flour is incorporated beat mixture on medium speed just until well blended.
  • Fill paper-lined or buttered muffin cups (1/3-cup capacity) about three-fourths full with batter (about 1/4 cup in each).
  • Bake in a 350° oven until tops spring back when lightly touched in the center, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool on racks 5 minutes; remove from pans. Cool completely.
  • Decorate with your favorite frosting.
