Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon rosewater

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners. Measure and set out all ingredients for easy access and accurate mixing.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening agent and seasoning for consistent texture and flavor.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugar: Using a hand or stand mixer, beat the softened butter and sugar until pale and fluffy, ensuring a light texture and softness in the cupcakes.
  4. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition for smooth incorporation. Stir in the vanilla extract to enhance and complement the rosewater aroma.
  5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Alternately add the dry ingredients and milk to the butter mixture, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Pour in the rosewater last and fold gently to maintain its delicate fragrance.
  6. Bake and Cool: Fill the cupcake liners about two-thirds full with batter. Bake for 18–20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool cupcakes completely on a wire rack before decorating or serving.

Notes

  • Use room temperature butter, eggs, and milk for a smooth, even batter.
  • Avoid overmixing to keep the cupcakes tender and prevent toughness.
  • Measure rosewater carefully; a little goes a long way to avoid overpowering the delicate flavor.
  • Choose food-grade, high-quality rosewater for the best floral fragrance.
  • Use an oven thermometer to ensure accurate baking temperature.
