INGREDIENTS: 125g self raising flour 125g caster sugar 1/4 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda 125g (soft) unsalted butter 2 large eggs (free range because we love chickens) 1 1/2 tablespoon milk 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract 22 minutes in the oven at 170 degrees centigrade! Just if anybody wanted to know :)

I am a small homebaker.. and I must say.. i must have tried over a million cupcake recipes and i can never get them to come out just right.. i tried your recipe just for fun at a house party, with little to no hopes.. AND THEY TURNED OUT AMAZINGGGG They did not dome,, they were spongy and just the right amount of sweet.. For anybody second guessing her recipe,, dont.. follow her instructions to the T and have yourselves the WORLDS BEST CUPCAKES.. cannot thank you enough ❤️❤️

To prepare the self raising flour, 1 cup of all purpose flour + 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder + 1/4 teaspoon of salt = 125g of self raising flour.

I’ve been baking for over 40 years, and this recipe is the absolute, best ever, recipe for cupcakes. Light, moist, flavourful and just the right size for decorating. They came out perfectly flat, with an even thin crust top and bottom. I cored my first batch, filled them with Dark Chocolate ganache and piped Caramel Swiss Meringue buttercream on top finished with a Chocolate Button. And it took less time to eat them than to type this post 🤣 Thanks Jemma and team, you’ve changed this bakers life! X

Okay!!! Written recipe for my fellow Americans!! 1 cup self rising flour ½ cup granulated sugar 1/4 tsp baking soda 1 stick (Plus like 1 tablespoon) butter 2 eggs 1 1/2 tablespoon milk 1 tsp vanilla extract Sift self-rising flour into a mixing bowl with sugar and baking soda Add softened butter and eggs begin to beat on low...then turn up to medium for a minute While mixing add milk and vanilla Mix on medium speed for 30 seconds Divide among 12 paper liners (⅔ to ¾ full) Bake at 340 degrees for 20 minutes (If your oven doesn’t like that temperature-or you don’t my little OCD friends-you could probably do 350 for like 15 mintues and keep an eye on them) Hope this helps!!!

Ingredients: 125g self raising flour 125g of caster sugar 1/4 tsp bicarbonate of soda 125g of unsalted butter 2 large eggs 1&1/2 tbs milk 1/4 tsp vanilla extract (idk why they aren't in the description but here they are so you dont have to pause every time xD)

Self-Rising Flour: add 1.5 teaspoons baking powder for every 120g or 1 cup all-purpose flour

I had been searching high and low for the perfect cupcake batter recipe, I have tried recipes from various people, even devised my own and could never get the perfect rise/consistency - until now. Yours is PERFECT! All turned out even in texture, rise and colour, no doming or unevenness. Instead of vanilla I added butter toffee flavouring and the cupcakes are divine.

This really helped me as this is what I've found to be the only video on KZfaq that has the measurements in grams and not cups 👍

I made these for my birthday. The batter was perfection, I almost cried. Thanks jemma for these amazing recipes.

This recipe is amazing, ive always had problems getting the measurements of each cupcake right and they either don't rise enough or overlap the case. I also watched the 'What Wrong With My Cupcakes' video and taking it all into account this recipe has just given me the best cupcakes I've ever made. Thank You

I can not believe how generous you are but I appreciate it so much. I find I’m watching all of you videos. These are just perfect. Everyone needs a Jemma

I love how Jemma just puts everything into perspective and isn't afraid to be witty and tell you what's up，luv ya❤️

Never knew cupcakes could be so good, after making these I proceeded to eat the whole batch in one sitting

hey everyone! i was looking for a recipe that was easy, without weird ingredients that i couldn't find in my country, and I can't be more thankful for this one! (plus you use grams and not cups or tbsp) they're moist but fluffy at the same time, and they're totally delicious. this is my new favorite vainilla cupcake recipe, thank you so so much from Argentina ❤

I made this recipe and they came out so light, fluffy, moist and delicious. Thank you Jemma!

Yay another great video and recipe to try! But could you please start including an ingredients list in the description box? Thanks!

vanila cupcake by jemma 125 gm self raising flour 125 gm caster sugar 1/4 tsp bi carbonate soda 125 gm unsalted soft butter 2 large free range eggs 1 1/2 tbsp milk 1/4 vanilla extract happy baking..!!😊😊😊

Tried it...Perfect! Absolutely perfect vanilla cupcakes! Easily the best vanilla cupcake recipe I have ever tried!

The way you spoon the batter into the cupcake pan is so satisfying

great recipe I tried it and my family loved them! they even asked me to bake more! thanks to Margaret Yonce for the recipe in cups!

My cupcakes never rise up properly. But with your recipe, guess what, they did!! I found your video verrrry helpful. Thanks a ton!

Made this yesterday and it came out soft and fluffy. I have tried tons of recipes for vanilla cupcakes and this one is that cupcake that is coffee shop worthy. I am so glad i tried.

I just made these and they are so soft and good. I bought an oven thermometer for accuracy, and I had to set my oven to 370 F for the thermometer to read 170 C (even tho Google’s conversion said 338 F was equivalent). My cupcakes were done in 17 min. If you’re in the US, be sure to check for doneness at least 5-10 min early.❤

the recipe really is perfect! I'd always wanted a light and moist cupcake recipe, tried one too many, never really satisfied and I was a bit doubtful with this one because if it's sheer simplicity, but man! it completely won my heart! my go- to recipe from now on. thanks jemma!

Hi, I am 12. I made this cupcakes it was soft and delicious thank you for the recipe.... 😍

Literally came out PERFECT. I couldn't be happier with this recipe. No hump, no crispy bits, didn't collapse. Just perfect.

I followed the recipe to the T and instead of baking cupcakes, I made a small cake. To my surprise.. it is exactly like the cupcakes I love.. added a dullop of leftover buttercream! It was yum. I have finished half of it in half a day! Yum yum! Thanks a ton!

Oh my god. I just made these on a whim, and they are soooooooooo goood!! Thank you Jemma!!

this recipe so good!!!! It’s very fluffy. I would recommend beating the butter first for a while then adding the eggs and sugar, I noticed it makes it a lot fluffier! 😄thanks for the recipe crumbs and doilies!

Thank you for being my go to girl . I live in Capetown South Africa. I retired here from UK and started baking for people . started with simple things And gluten free too but I am not brilliant by any means and if I have a problem especially with the icing I always go to you. Everything I have taken from your clips has been excellent .the vanilla ones I made today are amazing Buttercream icing fab and the special chocolate cupcakes were soooo wow. So thank you for helping me along the way and teaching me stuff. Eve burton Stellenbosch,CapeTown, South Africa .

I followed recipe exactly (American conversion) except baked them at 325 degrees F for about 22 to 23 minutes (due to the conversion of C to F and the fact that Jemma uses a fan-assisted oven). I had a few issues, but made these as a test run for a few different reasons. Here is my set-up: >This is the first time I have used self-rising flour in any recipe. >Testing different paper liners because I ALWAYS have greasy cupcake liners (I've watched the what's wrong with my cupcakes tutorial as well). I used a plain white liner, a brown liner and a colored foil liner. AND, previous cupcake recipes (unless it was a box mix...YUCK!), they ALWAYS stick to the paper. >Also testing what they will look and taste like after a few days of freezing (will have to remember to post follow-up on that). >The plain white and brown liners had greasy bottoms, the foil liner didn't (YAY!). Still not sure about this; it might be time to invest in the grease-proof paper! >I only got 11 cupcakes out of my batter. I believe my butter may still have been a bit cool (it's only 60 degrees F outside today). >Despite these issues, I couldn't wait to see what they looked and tasted like. The first one I started to take the paper off and the cake was sticking to the paper, so I waited about 15 minutes before trying another one. The paper peeled away beautifully, no bits of cake left behind, the cake was spongy. The taste was GREAT! not too sweet, but sweet enough. Conclusion: I WILL be making these again! Thanks, Jemma!

Thank you for always saying free range eggs 🙌🏻 I think that helps people to think about what they are putting into their baking and if they could make a more ethical choice.

I made it today!!! And it came out sooo sooooooo goooooood. Highly recommended!!

I tried this recipie and ohhh boy was it good. my cupcakes were soft,light and moist.I left one on the counter overnight and covered with a clean napkin.wokeup to check on it this morning and it's still perfect. this recipie is a keeper... and oh....I used wheat flour and margarine and it worked perfectly.I also replaced 1/4 TSP of flour with baking powder. I loved the cakes.so thanks a lot....love your videos too..

I made a batch of these,topped them with vanilla buttercream, brought them to a family lunch... Gone within minutes! These are, indeed, perfect vanilla cupcakes. Thank you, Jemma! :)

So good and fluffy!!!!! Love it! I divided the recipe by 2 as I have a smaller oven. I used a hand mixer and still amazing results 🍰

Beautiful recipe. I was making cupcakes for my daughter's wedding and tried three different recipies and these were the best so threw the others away and made a batch of 50 with this recipe.

I tried lots of cupcake recipes from many KZfaqrs but yours is THE BEST... They were fluffy and so tasty, we loved them. I want to try all ur recipes now. Thanks a lot Jemma. Thanks for inspiring me to make cupcakes.

Best cupcakes I've ever made. Plus your confidence and the fact that you make it look so easy had me feel confident as if I bake all the time even though I've never used this recipe before. I have tried sooo many cupcake recipes but none are as good as this one.

Thank you for this video and recipe (along with the vid on buttercream!) I’ve gone from never making cupcakes to 36 in one day for my family and friends. Practising my skills before hosting a Macmillan coffee morning in the office 🍰💗

Great recipe! Cupcakes came out perfectly. I added 25g extra for the flour, sugar and butter.

This is the absolute best and easiest and quickest cupcake recipe I've seen so far on YT. I've tried many recipes but my cupcake doesn't just cut it. But this was so yummy and soft and buttery and delicious. My family and I polished off the whole set. Guess I'm baking again tomorrow 😁

Hands down the best cupcake recipe. If you're hesitant to try this recipe out, don't be! Truly the best.

I MADE IT AND IT'S ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS !!!! I loved it , so simple yet so yummy

Made the cupcakes and this has been by far the best vanilla cupcake recipe I have come across, it's so perfect and tastes so good with or without the butter cream 😍

On Sept 9 i made this for my 4 yr old and they were absolutely delicious ..I was able to make 12 cupcakes..by adding more milk to the mix and more vanilla They were absolutely perfect very delicious aand moist to perfection ...Thank you so much for the recipe ..For now girls birthdays I will be making this delicious cupcakes saving money ...😁😍😘

I made these for my sis bdy everyone loved it they were disappointed when all was finished 😭 also making them back for an order I got this recipe is honestly the easiest I have even seen and they taste so delicious 😋👌😍🥺

Old video but I just wanted to say thank you for the weight measurements. I'm an American but I actually own a scale. I've found most American recipes dont turn out well because of volume differences in packed vs loose ingredients

Hi Jemma I just try this recipe... It turn up very well.. The cake was super moist... Thanks for the recipe 😘

Finally got to try this recipe and it came out so perfect!! After much difficulty searching for a perfect cupcake recipe, this one was the answer to all my prayers! It came out perfectly and it's so easy it blows my mind! Cupcakes have never been easier :D Thanks so much for sharing your recipes Jemma! Much love! 💛

BEST CUPCAKE RECIPE EVER I’VE PROBABLY MADE 15 BATCHES OF THESE THIS YEAR AND THEY COME OUT PERFECT EVERY TIME!!

Made a double batch of these this morning for Easter I decorated the tops with cadburys mini eggs, mini cadburys cream eggs and galaxy golden eggs. A hit with my family. Thanks Jemma

I just tried it. The texture was amazing, so soft and smooth I fell in love with it. Thanks for the recipe Jemma!

Hi Jemma. I'm from turkey. I translated your recipe to google translate and baked it today. The cupcake have become great. Thanks for the recipe😊

My 8 year old baked it today! Hands down the best Vanilla cup cakes I have ever had 😍😍👌👌 and soooo easy to make!! Everyone loved it! Thank you so much!

i just made this and it is PERFECTION!!!! soft, fluffy and moist!!!

I just tried it and it tasted solo good!!! oh my god! thank you for sharing this amazing recipe :)

I just tried this recipe and the flavour was just so overwhelming and it just took me only 4-5 minutes to prepare the batter .the cupcakes were just so fluffy and the crumbs were very light thanks for the recip❤️

So so so good. Just finished baking, let it cool for about and hour and I could not resist the smell so I ate one. Fluffy, just the right amount of sweet! I whipped the butter for 5 mins (like in the buttercream recipie) and curdled the milk with lemon. Idk why it just seemed like a good idea at the time. Great success!

Vanilla is my favorite dessert flavor. Good vanilla is the best, so simple and wonderful. Most desserts today are sooo complicated. Thanks for this recipe:)))

Your recipes are the BEST I made this recipe it is amazing and even you other recipes I tried some of them they are amazing

I made these today and they were so easy and the batter was honestly the fluffiest and most velvety I've ever worked with. Turned out beautifully and tasted like a sugar cookie. Thank you Jemma!!

Hello Jemma. I have been following your recipes since last October and have made several kinds of your cupcakes. They have all come out brilliantly, so much that last week I sold 62 cakes at my local library (profits were all for the library funding). And my husband bought me a fantastic electric mixer for Christmas, just like the ones you use.HOWEVER, yesterday I made some coffee cupcakes from someone else's recipe and the sponge was just not as nice. So my question is: would it work if I made your vanilla cupcake recipe, but stirred some instant coffee into the milk for the batter? I am certainly not going to follow any recipes other than yours in future.Hoping very much to visit Crumbs & Doilies soon. Thanks so much for the wonderful recipes.Angela x

125 g self-rising flour -125 g sugar -1/4 tsp baking soda -125 g butter -2 eggs -1 1/2 tbsp milk -1/4 tsp of vanilla extract Is this right? I'm german and that's why I'm not really sure...😁

I made my first ever cupcake by watching your videos, gal you are a good teacher, I started with one of your videos where you are explaining everything( the chemistry behind cup cakes) about the butter then this video followed every step n it turn out to be perfect. Thank you and continue doing the great work.

These exceeded the taste test with my mom so they're a definite win. Thanks so much for this recipe. It was quick and easy and tastes yummyyyyyy. It's now my only cupcake recipe.

I recommend everyone tries baking it at 160 degrees (gas) for 22 minutes instead! My cakes came out much better X

Curious question: Self raising flour has baking powder in it, and [baking powder] is great for leavening cakes on its own, when there is no acid present. Usually if you had an acidic ingredient in a recipe you'd use either baking soda or both, depending on how much acid there is. There's no acid in this recipe, so I wonder why the baking soda is added to the recipe? Thanks :) I did try the recipe out and it turned out great. Very fluffy. I just like to know the science behind baking.

I made these for my friend for her birthday and each cupcake had a letter on to spell out Happy Birthday! They tasted brilliant and she loved them, thank you for sharing this INCREDIBLE recipe.

The most delicious cupcakes I ever made so I keep coming back for more ..I make them fir my girls birthdays thank you Jenna..And today it's one of there birthdays so I will bake again 1 of your deliciousness recipes ...Thank you for sharing with us all ...

literally THE BEST recipe so quick and easy :D Thank you x

I just made this. thank you Jemma. this is my very first cake I ever made 😊. and its delicious 👍 i use regular flour+bakingpowder, because I dont have selfraisig flour at home and again thank you very much gorgeous😊

Hi. jemma:) 😍 I am from philippines I just want to say thank you for this wonderful perfect cupcake I've been looking for a cupcake that I can use for small business and for over a hundred videos that I watched and I tried this is the only one cupcake that I made it perfectly and I am so glad and happy when I am looking at the oven that the cupcake that I made is not craking on the top of the cupcake and not sticky in the inside. I was jumping at the time I saw my cupcakw perfectly and so yummy! I just, I just cant believe it. Thank you sooo much for sharing this recipe.

Hi Jemma, can you answer a question for us please? Why do some recipes use butter in the cake batter and others use oil? Why is this? Is the outcome different? If I don’t have butter can I substitute with oil? Etc. Would be wonderful if you can do us a video about this. Much love from Yorkshire x

125 g self raising flour 125 g sugar 1/4 tsp baking soda 125 gm soft unsalted butter 2 eggs 1 1/2 tbps milk 1/4 tsp vanilla extract

Thanks Jemma.They came out perfect.My daughter loved it.thanks n lots of love from India😍

I can confirm, they did come out perfect, although I reduced sugar (80 grams instead of 125 grams, it was sweet enough for me). Pro tip: make some glaze with cream cheese, soft butter and powdered sugar. It hardens in the fridge (because of the butter) and you have a perfect cupcake.

Ingredients 125g self raising flour 125g caster sugar 1/4 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda 125g softened butter 2 large eggs Mix together for 1 min on high speed Then add: 1.5 tbsp of milk 1/4 tsp vanilla Mix again for 30 seconds Pop in oven at 170 degrees for 22mins

Ingredients: 125g self raising flour 125g sugar 1/4 tbs bycarbonated soda(?) 125g unsalted butter 2 large eggs 1 1/2 ts Milk 1/4 tbs vanilla extract

I just tried the recipe this morning and I'm thrilled with them. I've been using a recipe for years and my cupcakes were ok... But honestly I'm so pleased I've come across this recipe. I'm going to try more of your recipe's Gemma! Thanks

OMG EVERYONE SHOULD USE THIS RECIPE! It is so delicous and fluffy! Best recipe I have ever used for cupcakes.

Delicious, PERFECT! Lol love it x

Bakery tour?

just made them, and even though i forgot them which led to the inevitible burn, i shaved the burnt parts and they still tasted amazing. thank you!

This is really the perfect vanilla cupcake 🧁 I made it today. It was the most delicious cupcake I have ever tasted. It is also super easy. The timing is perfect. I kept saying thank you Jemma when I was eating it. Thank you so much for sharing this ❤️❤️

JEMMA I LOVE YOU UR SO AWESOMEEE

Hi Jemma, can you please try to make more things with meringues just like the rasberry meringue cupcakes... thanks

It turned out really good! I baked 2 batches of cupcakes for my cousins birthday AND I CAN TELL THAT SHE WOULD LOVE THEEEM

I love how you just bung everything the mixer at the same time!

Could this recipe be doubled and put into 2 cake pans? 😅

How many cupcakes does this recipe make? Love your channel! It is so calming when I'm having a bad day. :) Hugs from Denmark!
