This is one of my favourite simple vanilla cupcakes recipe with oil instead of butter. They are moist and they taste amazing. The great thing about cupcakes is that they are a blank canvas and you can decorate them anyway you want and you can decorate them with all sorts of colours to suit your occasion or theme.
I have a few vanilla cup cake recipes and I alternate between them depending on what ingredients I have. Some require more eggs than others so if I have just two eggs I could use this recipe and maybe another day a different one. This recipe is easy to double, triple or multiply by whatever number to get the right amount.
If you would like to know how to decorate cupcakes you can watch this video where I demonstrate three different ways to decorate cupcakes.
