Basic Golden Cupcake


I saw this recipe a few weeks ago on How to Eat a Cupcake, but I didn't take down the recipe. This weekend, I wanted to try a new vanilla cupcake recipe. I tried to recall the recipe that I saw and start baking. In and out the oven, they went. Results is the best vanilla cupcake that I ever made/had. I simply love the texture and aroma of this cupcake. It just taste heavenly. =D
