I don’t know about you but I’m always in search of that perfect recipes that becomes one of your “Go-to” recipes.  You know the recipes, the ones that you have memorizes, the ones that come out perfect every time you bake them, the ones that when you need to whip up something for friend that you can rely on to turn out well.

Well this Vanilla bean cupcake recipe is just that for me.  I just LOVE cupcakes and I’m always trying out new recipes but time and time again I make this one.  This is the vanilla cupcake recipe that I make for almost every birthday party.

These cupcakes are easy to make, it makes one dozen perfect cupcakes that are moist and delicious.  I adapted this recipe from one of my favorite Australian cake blogs-Hello Naomi.  If you aren’t familiar with her work you should really go check out her site.  I promise you will be inspired with her gorgeous cakes and cupcakes!

These cupcakes are perfect with a vanilla glaze, a swiss meringue buttercream or your favorite whipped american buttercream.  For kids parties I top these with my favorite whipped american buttercream (as seen in the recent rainbow swirl cupcakes).

Try out this recipe and let me know what you think!
